Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission to the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for Review and Approval; Comment
Request; Collection Title: Survey of International Air Travelers (SIAT)
The Department of Commerce will submit the following information
collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and clearance in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995, on or after the date of publication of this notice. We invite the
general public and other Federal agencies to comment on proposed, and
continuing information collections, which helps us assess the impact of
our information collection requirements and minimize the public's
reporting burden. Public comments were previously requested via the
Federal Register on May 21, 2024, during a 60-day comment period. This
notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments.
Agency: International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce.
Title: Survey of International Air Travelers (SIAT).
OMB Control Number: 0625-0227.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular submission.
Number of Respondents: 300,000.
Average Hours per Response: 15 minutes.
Burden Hours: 75,000.
Needs and Uses: The Survey of International Air Travelers (SIAT)
program, administered by the National Travel and Tourism Office (NTTO)
of the International Trade Administration provides source data required
to: (1) Estimate international travel and passenger fare exports,
imports, and the trade balance for the United States, (2) comply with
the U.S. Travel Promotion Act of 2009 (Pub. L. 111-145), collect,
analyze, and report information to the Corporation for Travel Promotion
(CTP), and support U.S. exports, (3) comply with the 1945, 1961, 1981,
and 1996 travel and tourism related acts to collect and publish
comprehensive international travel and tourism statistics and other
marketing information, and (4) support the continuation of the Travel &
Tourism Satellite Accounts for the United States, which provide the
only spending and employment figures for the industry. The SIAT program
contains the core data that is analyzed and communicated by NTTO with
other government agencies, associations and businesses that share the
same objective of increasing U.S. international travel exports. The
SIAT assists NTTO in assessing the economic impact of international
travel on state and local economies, providing visitation estimates,
key market intelligence, and identifying traveler and trip
characteristics. The U.S. Department of Commerce assists travel
industry enterprises to increase international travel and passenger
fare exports for the country as well as outbound travel on U.S.
carriers. The Survey program provides the only available estimates of
nonresident visitation to the states and cities within the United
States, as well as U.S. resident travel abroad.
The SIAT also assists NTTO in producing in-depth statistical
reports, fact sheets and briefings on economic factors and policy
issues affecting U.S. industries. With the SIAT statistical data not
replicable by private sector trade associations or by private firms,
Federal agencies, Congress and international organizations rely on
these statistic-based tools, as do American businesses, state and local
governments, and news organizations.

travelers departing the United States, 18 years or older which includes
U.S. and non-U.S. residents from all countries.
