S. 1261, the Providing for Additional
Security in States Identification (PASS ID) Act of 2009 sets the
minimum security standards that drivers licenses (DLs) and
identification (ID) cards issued by states and the US territories
must meet to be accepted for official federal purposes. Section 5
paragraph (a) of S.1261 requires the Department of Homeland
Security (DHS) to issue an interim final rule (IFR) that implements
the act within 9 months of final passage. In order to meet this
timeframe and perform the supporting regulatory analysis required
by Executive Order12866, DHS needs to collect data on state and
territory DL/ID operations that will determine the costs of the
IFR. Without this survey, DHS would not be able to meet the
congressionally mandated deadline. The survey is titled, The State
Licensure Survey
