Office of the Secretary
Notice of Request for Extension of a
Currently Approved Information
Collection
Office of Homeland Security
and Emergency Coordination.
ACTION: Notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:
This draft guidance document is being
issued in accordance with the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)
Bulletin on Agency Good Guidance
Practices (GGPs) (January 25, 2007, 72
FR 3432–3440).
The purpose of GGPs is to ensure that
program guidance documents are
developed with adequate public
participation, are readily available to the
public, and are not applied as binding
requirements. The draft guidance, when
finalized, will represent AMS’ current
thinking on these topics. It does not
create or confer any rights for, or on, any
person and does not operate to bind
AMS or the public. Guidance
documents are intended to provide a
uniform method for operations to
comply that can reduce the burden of
developing their own methods and
simplify audits and inspections.
Alternative approaches that can
demonstrate compliance with the
Organic Foods Production Act (OFPA),
as amended (7 U.S.C. 6501–6522), and
its implementing regulations are also
acceptable. AMS strongly encourages
industry to discuss alternative
approaches with the NOP before
implementing them to avoid
unnecessary or wasteful expenditures of
resources and to ensure the proposed
alternative approach complies with the
Act and its implementing regulations.

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, Governmentwide 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.

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Standards for Privately Owned
Quarantine Facilities for Ruminants.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0232.
Type of Request: Reinstatement of an
information collection.
Abstract: The Animal Health
Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 8301 et seq.),
authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture
to, among other things, prohibit or
restrict the importation and interstate
movement of animals and animal
products into the United States to
prevent the introduction of animal
diseases and pests.
The regulations in 9 CFR part 93
govern the importation into the United
States of specified animals and animal
products in order to help prevent the
introduction of various animal diseases
into the United States. The regulations
in part 93 require, among other things,
that certain animals, as a condition of
entry, be quarantined upon arrival in
the United States. The Animal and Plant
Health Inspection Service operates
animal quarantine facilities and also
authorizes the use of quarantine
facilities that are privately owned and
operated for certain animal
importations.
The regulations in subpart D of part
93 (9 CFR 93.400 through 93.436)
pertain to the importation of ruminants.
Ruminants include all animals that
chew the cud, such as cattle, buffaloes,
sheep, goats, deer, antelopes, camels,
llamas, and giraffes. Ruminants
imported into the United States must be
quarantined upon arrival for at least 30
days, with certain exceptions.
Ruminants from Canada and Mexico are
not subject to this quarantine.
The regulations for privately owned
quarantine facilities for ruminants
require the use of certain information
collection activities, including an
application for facility approval, a
compliance agreement explaining the
conditions under which the facility
must be operated, creation and
maintenance of a daily log of persons
entering and leaving the facility while
quarantine is in process, request for
variance, a manual of standard
operating procedures, and maintenance
of certain records covering quarantine
operations.
We are asking the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
approve our use of these information
collection activities for 3 years.
The purpose of this notice is to solicit
comments from the public (as well as
PO 00000
Frm 00003
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
affected agencies) concerning our
information collection. These comments
will help us:
(1) Evaluate whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of our
estimate of the burden of the collection
of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
(4) Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, through use, as
appropriate, of automated, electronic,
mechanical, and other collection
technologies; e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses.
Estimate of burden: The public
reporting burden for this collection of
information is estimated to average 1.07
hours per response.
Respondents: Owners/operators of
privately owned quarantine facilities for
ruminants.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 5.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 12.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 60.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 64 hours. (Due to
averaging, the total annual burden hours
may not equal the product of the annual
number of responses multiplied by the
reporting burden per response.)
All responses to this notice will be
summarized and included in the request
for OMB approval. All comments will
also become a matter of public record.
Done in Washington, DC, this 30th day of
November 2016.
