Title: USDA eAuthentication Service Customer Registration.
OMB Control Number: 0503-0014.
Summary of Collection: The USDA Office of the Chief Information
Officer (OCIO) has developed the eAuthentication system as a management
and technical process that addresses user authentication and
authorization prerequisites for providing services electronically. The
process requires a voluntary one-time electronic self-registration to
obtain an eAuthentication account for each USDA customer desiring
access to online services or applications that require user
eAuthentication. The information collected through the electronic self-
registration process is necessary to enable the electronic
authentication of users and grant them access to only those resources
for which they are authorized. The authority to collect this
information as well as the new Online Identity Proofing function can be
found in Section 2,(c), of the Freedom to E-File Act (Pub. L. 106-222),
the Government Paperwork Elimination Act (GPEA, Pub. L. 105-277), the
Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (E-Sign, Pub.
L. 106-229), the E-Government Act of 2002 (H.R. 2458), and Gramm-Leach
Bliley Act (Pub. L. 106-102, 502-504).
Need and Use of the Information: The USDA eAuthentication Service
provides public and government businesses single sign-on capability for
USDA applications, management of user credentials, and verification of
identity, authorization, and electronic signatures. USDA
eAuthentication obtains customer information through an electronic
self-registration process provided through the eAuthentication website.
The voluntary online self-registration process applies to USDA Agency
customers, as well as employees who request access to protected USDA
web applications and services via the internet. Users can register
directly from the eAuthentication website located at
www.eauth.egov.usda.gov. The information collected through the online
self-registration process will be used to provide an eAuthentication
account that will enable the electronic authentication of users. The
users will then have access to authorized resources without needing to
reauthenticate within the context of a single internet session.
Description of Respondents: Farms; Individuals or Households;
Business or other for-profit; Not-for-profit institutions; Federal
government; State, Local or Tribal Government.
Number of Respondents: 103,704.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion; Third party
disclosure.
Total Burden Hours: 13,598.
