Short Statement:
15. The program adjustments reflect an increase in the number of projected respondents from 114,637 (previous 2013 – 2016) to 136,833 (FYs 2016-2018). Demand has continued to increase at a steady rate between 2013 through 2016. The annual number of respondents projected to use the DS-5504 for the next three years was adjusted to reflect the actual demand while taking into account a steady increase of all passport applications for Fiscal Years 2016 through 2018. With the rise in overall passport applications, it is expected that name changes, data corrections, and limited passport book replacement will increase accordingly. Demand forecast projections, by their nature, will have some uncertainty in their accuracy, which can explain differences between actual and forecast. The change in respondent costs is due to the elimination of the fees for name change documents (marriage certificate or court order documents) that were incorrectly attributed as a Cost to Respondent in the last submission. Respondents looking to change their names generally will have and/or obtain these types of documents on their own for a variety of reasons. The Department’s policy is to return all citizenship and identity documents, including marriage certificates or court orders, to the applicant, which means he or she does not incur a cost. Therefore, the only costs attributed to the respondent in this submission are for passport photographs, postage, and travel.
