Abstract: The Traveler Inquiry Form (TIF) is the form used to support the Traveler Redress Inquiry Program (TRIP), which will serve as a centralized intake office for traveler redress requests. After receipt, TRIP then passes the information to the relevant DHS component to process the request as appropriate (e.g., TRIP passes the form to TSA to initiate the Watch List Clearance Procedure). Individuals who feel that they have been unnecessarily subjected to additional screening, or denied or delayed boarding, or entry into or departure from the U.S. may complete the form. This form will be used by DHS to determine if there is an error in their record. This collection also serves to help DHS distinguish individuals from an actual individual on a watch list used by DHS, and it helps streamline and expedite future check-in or border crossing experiences.

In addition, TSA revised the two surveys, resulting in an additional burden change. For the initial survey, the burden changed from 10 minutes to 5 minutes. For the second survey, the burden changed from 5 minutes to 2 minutes. Lastly, TSA adjusted the percentage of applicants who send the applications to DHS TRIP via standard mail from 20 percent to 1 percent, moving the cost burden from $14,490 to $1,261.
