[Public Notice: 5894] 

Rule Title: Passport Procedures—

Amendment to Passport Surcharge 

AGENCY: Department of State. 

ACTION: Interim final rule. 

SUMMARY: This rule amends the 

Department of State’s regulation 

implementing the requirements of the 

Passport Services Enhancement Act of 

2005, amending the Passport Act of June 

4, 1920, to authorize the Secretary of 

State to establish and collect a surcharge 

to cover the costs of meeting the 

increased demand for passports as a 

result of actions taken to comply with 

section 7209(b) of the Intelligence 

Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 

2004 (IRTPA). The Passport Services 

Enhancement Act authorizes the 

Department of State to assess a 

surcharge on applicable fees for the 

filing of each passport application to 

offset its additional costs. This rule will 

raise the surcharge based on a current 

estimate of the increased passport 

demand due to actions taken to comply 

with section 7209(b) of IRTPA. The 

surcharge will continue to be collected 

from within the passport application fee 

and will not increase the overall current 

cost of the passport to the applicant. 

DATES: Effective date: This interim rule 

is effective on August 15, 2007. 

Comment period: The Department of 

State will accept written comments from 

interested persons up to September 14, 

2007. 

ADDRESSES: Interested parties may 

submit comments at any time by any of 

the following methods: 

• E-mail: PassportRules@state.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Passport Services Enhancement Act 

(Pub. L. 109–167, January 10, 2006, 119 

Stat. 3578) authorizes the Secretary of 

State to establish, collect, and retain a 

surcharge to cover the costs of meeting 

the increased demand for passports as a 

result of actions taken to comply with 

section 7209(b) of the Intelligence 

Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 

2004 (Pub. L. 108–458, 8 U.S.C. 1185). 

In March 2006, the Department of 

State had commissioned an 

independent cost of service survey to 

examine the resource implications of 

the increased demand for passports 

under the Western Hemisphere Travel 

Initiative (WHTI), the Administration’s 

proposal to address the requirements of 

the IRTPA, and to determine the 

appropriate amount of the surcharge. 

That survey estimated that 

uncompensated WHTI-related costs 

borne by the Department of State would 

reach $289 million during the period 

FY2006–FY2008. It also projected that a 

six-dollar surcharge retained by the 

Department of State would enable it to 

meet the costs of increased passport 

demand during that period. Accordingly 

on August 15, 2006, the Department of 

State published an interim rule 

providing for a surcharge of $6 per 

passport application. However, the 

demand and costs proved to be greater 

than originally estimated and thus the 

Department now projects that 

uncompensated demands during the 

period FY2008 to FY 2010 will reach 

$944 million. The Department has 

therefore determined that to meet its 

increased costs, it will need to retain 

$20 per passport application. Pursuant 

to the authority granted to the Secretary 

of State under the Passport Services 

Enhancement Act of 2005, this rule will 

allow the Department of State to 

establish, collect, and retain a twentydollar surcharge on applicable fees for 

the filing of each application for a 

passport, in order to address the 

resource implications of section 7209(b) 

of the IRTPA. That surcharge will be 

embedded in the passport application 

fee and will be deposited as an 

offsetting collection to the appropriate 

Department of State appropriation 

account. The non-surcharge portion of 

the passport application fee will be 

remitted to the general fund of the 

Treasury. The overall cost of the 

passport to the public will not increase 

by virtue of this action. 

The Department of State considers the 

enactment of this rule as a matter of 

urgency to help provide the funds to 

meet the demand created by the 

legislation for universal international 

traveler nationality and identity 

documentation. The Department is in 

the process of increasing its overall 

production capacity, improving 

efficiency of production and 

adjudication processes, as well as 

enhancing anti-fraud measures. The 

Department is also currently developing 

a less expensive card format passport for 

use at land border crossings.
