*OMB Control Number:*                     0505-0022.

The information is necessary to comply with the requirements outlined in Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD) 12, and Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 201, Personal Identity Verification (PIV) Phase I and II. USDA has completed Phase I and to comply with PIV II, USDA has implemented an automated identity proofing, registration, and issuance process                           ( print page 30501)                        consistent with the requirements outlined in FIPS 201-1.                

*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 US/Access 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. 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.
