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.
