Passport question

[Evil Genius]

With the laws changing as to needing passports, I was wondering if anyone could tell me how long US passports are good for.

10 Years if you are 16 or older
I believe it's 8 years if you are younger then 16

16 and older it is valid for 10yrs, under 16 5 yrs

Thanks, for the $97.00 that they want for it, I was hoping it was for a while.
