ACTION: Notice and request for comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, this

establishes a mandatory, Government-wide standard for secure and
reliable forms of identification (credentials) issued by the Federal
Government to its Federal Employees, Non-Federal employees and
contractors. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) mandated that
these credentials be issued to all Federal Government employees,

The HSPD-12 compliant program is jointly owned and administered by the
Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO) and OSSP.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: USDA PIV Request for Credential.
OMB Number: 0505-0022.
Expiration Date of Approval: April 30, 2020.
Type of Request: Extension and revision of a currently approved
information collection.
Abstract: The HSPD-12 information collection is required for
establishing the applicant's identity for PIV credential issuance. The
information requested must be provided by Federal employees,
contractors and other applicable individuals when applying for a USDA
credential (identification card). This information collection is
necessary to comply with the requirements outlined in Homeland Security
Presidential Directive (HSPD) 12, and Federal Information Processing
Standard (FIPS) 201-2. USDA must implement an identity proofing,
registration, and issuance process consistent with the requirements
outlined in FIPS 201-2. This information collection form was required
as part of USDA's identity proofing and registration process. After 10/
27/06, form AD 1197 has been eliminated and the identity process has
been streamlined with the addition of a Web-based HSPD-12 system. As
USDA continues the HSPD-12 program, one estimate of burden has been
calculated and one process description has been included.
Estimate of Burden: Public reporting burden for this collection of
information is estimated to average 1.5 hours. The Burden is estimated
based on the three prerequisites for PIV Credential issuance as well as
the receipt of the PIV Credential itself.
Respondents: New long-term contractors, affiliates, and employees
must undergo the information collection process. Existing contractors/
employees/affiliates must undergo the process to receive a PIV
Credential.
Estimated Number of Respondents: Estimated Annual Number of
Respondents: 12,000.
Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: Each respondent
should complete one response.
Estimated Total One-Time Burden on Respondents: 18,000 hours.
Comments are invited on: (1) Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the agency, including whether the information will have practical
utility; (2) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who
are to respond, including the use of appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms
of information technology. Comments may be sent to Joseph Reale. All
comments received will be available
[[Page 3605]]
for public inspection during regular business hours at the same
address.
All responses to this notice will be summarized and included in the
request for OMB approval. All comments will become a matter of public
record.
David Wu,
Acting Assistant Secretary of Administration.
