STATE RIN: 1400-AC23 Publication ID: Fall 2008 
Title: Passport Procedures--Amendment to Passport Regulations 
Abstract: This interim rule implements the requirements to 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 costs of meeting the increased demand for passports as a result of actions taken to comply with section 7209(b) 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. The surcharge will be collected from within the application fee and will not increase the overall current cost of the passport.
