As published in the Federal Register (Volume 81, Number 216 (Tuesday, November 8, 2016)] [Notices] [Pages 78623-78624]) TSA is requesting comments about the TDC/IVCC process.
The register entry explains that "a traveler without an acceptable verifying identity document must complete a Certification of Identity (COI) form (TSA Form 415) ... The IVCC searches various commercial and government databases using the name and address on the TSA Form 415 as key search criteria to find other identifying information about the traveler. The IVCC then asks the traveler a series of questions based on information found in the databases to verify the individual's identity."

TSA is looking to expand the information requested to "ensure that the identity verification process described above does not become a means for travelers to circumvent implementation of the REAL ID Act". The proposal, if implemented, would require that individuals provide their name, address, whether the individual has a state issued identification, what state it is from and whether the individual has been issued other identification. The comments period ends in January 2017.

DATES: Send your comments by January 9, 2017.
