There is no requirement to provide fingerprints for a US passport.

The only way I could see a US passport containing fingerprint data is if you were naturalized, but even then, it would require USCIS/USCBP to actually share that data with the State Department.

Negative, US passports don't have fingerprints (in the chip).

The biometrics symbol indicates some sort of biometric data, which in this case stores the pthograph and personal data displayed in the passport.
