Notice of Request for Extension of a Currently Approved 
Information Collection

AGENCY: Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Coordination.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, this 
notice announces the Office of Homeland Security and Emergency 
Coordination's (OHSEC) intention to request an extension for and 
revision to a currently approved information collection for the U.S. 
Department of Agriculture (USDA) Personal Identity Verification (PIV) 
Request for Credential, the USDA Homeland Security Presidential 
Directive 12 (HSPD-12) program. HSPD-12 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, contractors, and other applicable 
individuals who require long-term access to federally controlled 
facilities and/or information systems. The HSPD-12 compliant program is 
jointly owned and administered by the Office of the Chief Information 
Officer (OCIO) and OHSEC.

DATES: Comments on this notice must be received by December 15, 2016, 
to be assured of consideration.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Richard Holman, Chief, Physical 
Security Division, Office of Homeland Security and Emergency 
Coordination, USDA, 1400 Independence Avenue SW., Room 1457, Washington 
DC 20250.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: USDA PIV Request for Credential.
    OMB Number: 0505-0022.
    Expiration Date of Approval: February 28, 2017.
    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 
October 27, 2006, 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 Richard Holman. All 
comments received will be available 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.

Assistant Secretary for Administration.
