    Title: Request for USDA Identification (ID) Badge.

    OMB Control Number: 0505–0022.

    Summary of Collection: 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 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.

    Need and Use of the Information: Information will be collected using form AD 1197, Request for USDA Identification (ID) Badge, to issue a site badge to grant individuals short term assess to facilities. USDA has chosen to use GSA's USAccess program for HSPD–12 credentialing and identity management. The automated system includes six separate and distinct roles to ensure no one single individual can issue a credential without further validation from another authorized role holder. An automated notification workflow provides streamlined communication between role holder and the applicant, notifying each as to the respective steps in the process. If the information is not collected, Federal and non-Federal employees may not be permitted in some facilities and will not be allowed access to government computer systems.

    Description of Respondents: Individuals or households.

    Number of Respondents: 3,000.

    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion.

    Total Burden Hours: 3,000.
