provided restricted access to the 

application. Level 2 users have managed 

access within the application. 

The NDL system accomplishes this 

functionality by requiring that a specific 

role be assigned to each user. 

Sponsoring organizations have eAuthentication level 1 clearance 

allowing them to view individuals’ 

names, other legal names, state, 

termination date, disqualified status, 

whether a debt is owed, and pending 

status. For institutions, they may view 

institutions’ names and previous names, 

full address, termination date, 

disqualified status, whether a debt is 

owed, and pending status. 

State agency and FNS users have eAuthentication level 2 clearance, which 

allows them to view the information 

listed above, in addition to date of birth 

and individuals’ full addresses. 

Currently, all States and four territories 

have access to the NDL with eAuthentication level 2 clearance. Once 

identified, the system uses the existing 

functionality within the FNS General 

Support System platform to selectively 

control permissions by role. As 

mentioned, controls for eAuthentication level 1 users include 

restricting information view privileges 

by removing dates of birth and 

individuals’ full addresses from view. eAuthentication level 2 can view all the 

data. 

NDL Application software roles: Users 

with eAuthentication level 2 credentials 

are assigned roles which determine the 

level of access they have within NDL. 

Server to Server and Client to/from 

Server communications encryption: 

Secure Socket Layer (SSL) with 128-bit 

encryption has been applied to all the 

application servers, which are only 

available through FNS Intranet 

connection. In addition, all 

communications between servers will 

be encrypted. 

Vulnerabilities and anti-virus: Known 

vulnerabilities are regularly identified 

and resolved. Many tools, such as 

Tenable and Splunk are used scan 

resources. The sources for these scan 

services include vendors and the 

National Vulnerability Database. 

Industry best practices are followed to 

resolution. Users on client machines do 

not have local administrative rights, 

which maintain low vulnerability. Users 

have the ability to intentionally or 

accidentally download and install 

malicious code. This risk is mitigated 

using a multi-layered approach. First, 

anti-virus applications are deployed to 

all client machines and virus definitions 

are automatically updated daily using a 

centrally managed update server. 

Second, all systems are monitored and 

randomly inspected for unauthorized 

software. DISC EDC employs Retina for 

daily scans of VMs and configured 

environments to identify vulnerabilities 

and alert appropriate personnel. 

RECORD ACCESS PROCEDURES: 

Individuals seeking notification of 

and access to any record contained in 

this system of records, or seeking to 

contest its content, may submit a 

request in writing to the Headquarters or 

component’s FOIA Officer, whose 

contact information can be found at 

https://www.dm.usda.gov/foia/poc.htm. 

If an individual believes more than one 

component maintains Privacy Act 

records concerning him or her, the 

individual may submit the request to 

the Chief FOIA Officer, Department of 

Agriculture, 1400 Independence Avenue 

SW, Washington, DC 20250. 

The request should include a daytime 

phone number and email. Provide as 

much information as possible about the 

subject matter of the records you are 

requesting. This will help facilitate the 

search process. 

When seeking records about yourself 

from this NDL system of records, or any 

other Departmental system of records, 

your request must conform with the 

Privacy Act regulations set forth in 7 

CFR 1.112 (Procedures for requests 

pertaining to individual records in a 

record system). You must submit a 

written request in accordance with the 

instructions set forth in the system of 

records. 

Provide your full name, date, name of 

system of records, and either (1) have 

your signature witnessed by a notary; or 

(2) include the following statement 

immediately above the signature on 

your request letter: ‘‘I declare under 

penalty of perjury that the foregoing is 

true and correct. Executed on [date].’’ 

Requests that do not contain the 

required declaration will be processed 

under the Freedom of Information Act 

(FOIA), and, if records are found, you 

may not receive as much information, 

including information about you. If 

additional information is required to 

fulfill a Privacy Act request, you will be 

notified. 

When the request is for one of access, 

the request should include the full name 

of the individual making the request, 

the name of the system of records, and 

a statement of whether the requester 

desires to make a personal inspection of 

the records or to be supplied with 

copies by mail or email. 

In accordance with 7 CFR 1.113, prior 

to inspection of the records, the 

requester shall present sufficient 

identification (e.g., driver’s license, 

employee identification card, social 

security card, credit cards) to establish 

that the requester is the individual to 

whom the records pertain. No 

identification shall be required, 

however, if the records are required by 

5 U.S.C. 552 to be released. If FNS 

determines to grant the requested 

access, fees may be charged in 

accordance with § 1.120 before making 

the necessary copies. In place of a 

notarization, your signature may be 

submitted under 28 U.S.C. 1746, a law 

that permits statements to be made 

under penalty of perjury as a substitute 

for notarization. 

CONTESTING RECORD PROCEDURES: 

Individuals seeking to contest or 

amend records maintained in this 

system of records must direct their 

request to the address indicated in the 

‘‘RECORD ACCESS PROCEDURES’’ 

paragraph, above and must follow the 

procedures set forth in 7 CFR part 1, 

subpart G, § 1.116 (Request for 

correction or amendment to record). All 

requests must state clearly and 

concisely what record is being 

contested, the reasons for contesting it, 

and the proposed amendment to the 

record. A determination whether a 

record may be amended will be made 

within 10 days of its receipt. 

NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES: 

Individuals may be notified if a record 

in this system of records pertains to 

them when the individuals request 

information utilizing the same 

procedures as those identified in the 

‘‘RECORD ACCESS PROCEDURES’’ 

paragraph, above. 

EXEMPTIONS PROMULGATED FOR THE SYSTEM: 

None.

Agreement on Agriculture. This notice 

also includes the relevant period 

applicable for the trigger levels on each

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Article 5 

of the WTO Agreement on Agriculture 

provides that additional import duties 

may be imposed on imports of products 

subject to tariffication as a result of the 

Uruguay Round, if certain conditions 

are met. The agreement permits 

additional duties to be charged if the 

price of an individual shipment of 

imported products falls below the 

average price for similar goods imported 

during the years 1986–88 by a specified 

percentage. It also permits additional 

duties when the volume of imports of 

that product exceeds the sum of (1) a 

base trigger level multiplied by the 

average of the last three years of 

available import data and (2) the change 

in yearly consumption in the most 

recent year for which data are available 

(provided that the final trigger level is 

not less than 105 percent of the threeyear import average). The base trigger 

level is set at 105, 110, or 125 percent 

of the three-year import average, 

depending on the percentage of 

domestic consumption that is 

represented by imports. These 

additional duties may not be imposed 

on quantities for which minimum or 

current access commitments were made 

during the Uruguay Round negotiations, 

and only one type of safeguard, price or 

quantity, may be applied at any given 

time to an article. 

Section 405 of the Uruguay Round 

Agreements Act requires that the 

President cause to be published in the 

Federal Register information regarding 

the price and quantity safeguards, 

including the quantity trigger levels, 

which must be updated annually based 

upon import levels during the most 

recent 3 years. The President delegated 

this duty to the Secretary of Agriculture 

in Presidential Proclamation No. 6763, 

dated December 23, 1994, 60 FR 1007 

(Jan. 4, 1995). The Secretary of 

Agriculture further delegated this duty, 

which lies with the Administrator of the 

Foreign Agricultural Service (7 CFR 

2.601(a)(42)). The Annex to this notice 

contains the updated quantity trigger 

levels, consistent with the provisions of 

Article 5. 

Additional information on the 

products subject to safeguards and the 

additional duties which may apply can 

be found in subchapter IV of Chapter 99 

of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of 

the United States (2021) and in the 

Secretary of Agriculture’s Notice of 

Uruguay Round Agricultural Safeguard 

Trigger Levels, published in the Federal 

Register at 60 FR 427 (Jan. 4, 1995). 

Notice: As provided in Section 405 of 

the Uruguay Round Agreements Act, 

consistent with Article 5 of the WTO 

Agreement on Agriculture, the safeguard 

quantity trigger levels previously 

notified are superseded by the levels 

indicated in the Annex to this notice. 

The definitions of these products were 

provided in the Notice of Safeguard 

Action published in the Federal 

Register, at 60 FR 427 (Jan. 4, 1995).
