Abstract of Proposed Collection

    Under 22 United States Code (U.S.C.) Section 211a et seq. and 
Executive Order 11295 (August 5, 1966), the Secretary of State issues 
U.S. passports to U.S. citizens and non-citizen nationals. When the 
bearer of a valid U.S. passport applies for a new passport with 
corrected personal data or when the bearer of a limited validity 
passport applies for a fully-valid replacement passport, the Department 
must confirm the applicant's identity and eligibility before the 
Department can issue the new passport to the applicant. Form DS-5504 
requests information needed to determine whether the applicant is 
eligible to receive this service in accordance with the requirements of 
Title III of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) (U.S.C. 1402-
1504), the regulations at 22 CFR parts 50 and 51, and other applicable 
treaties and laws.

Methodology

    Passport applicants can either download the DS-5504 from the 
internet or obtain one from an Acceptance Facility/Passport Agency. The 
form must be completed, signed, and submitted along with the 
applicant's valid U.S. passport and supporting documents for corrective 
action.

Additional Information

    The Privacy Act statement has been amended to clarify that an 
applicant's failure to provide his or her Social Security number may 
result in the denial of an application, consistent with Section 32101 
of the Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act (Pub. L. 114-94) 
which authorizes the Department to deny U.S. passport applications when 
the applicant failed to include his or her Social Security number. It 
also makes clear that failure to include one's Social Security number 
may also subject the applicant to a penalty enforced by the 
International Revenue Service. These requirements and the underlying 
legal authorities are further described on page 3 of the instructions 
titled ``Federal Tax Law'' which has also been amended to include a 
reference to Public Law 114-94.

    Dated: May 24, 2016.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Passport Services, Bureau of Consular 
Affairs, Department of State.
