SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Request for USDA Identification (ID) Badge.
OMB Number: 0505-0022.
Expiration Date of Approval: May 31, 2023.
Type of Request: Extension and revision of a currently approved
information collection.
Abstract: The AD-1197 was initially created to support the HSPD-12
information collection as 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) 201-3.
USDA must implement an identity proofing, registration, and issuance
process consistent with the requirements outlined in FIPS 201-3. This
information collection form was required as part of USDA's identity
proofing and registration process. After 10/27/06, form AD 1197 was
eliminated from the HSPD-12 process with the USDA's participation in
the in the GSA USAccess program, however the form continues to be
utilized for the information collection and processing of USDA Site
Badges (non-PIV). 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 ID issuance as well as the receipt
of the ID 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 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 Sam Willis. All
comments received will be available
[[Page 8255]]
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.

Chief Security Director, Office of Safety, Security, and Protection.
