the collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number.
Office of the Chief Information Officer
Title: USDA eAuthentication Service
Customer Registration.
OMB Control Number: 0503–0014.
Summary of Collection: The USDA
Office of the Chief Information Officer
(OCIO) has developed the
eAuthentication system as a
management and technical process that
addresses user authentication and
authorization prerequisites for
providing services electronically. The
process requires a voluntary one-time
electronic self-registration to obtain an
eAuthentication account for each USDA
customer desiring access to online
services or applications that require user
eAuthentication. The information
collected through the electronic selfregistration process is necessary to
enable the electronic authentication of
users and grant them access to only
those resources for which they are
authorized. The authority to collect this
information as well as the new Online
Identity Proofing function can be found
in Section 2,(c), of the Freedom to E-File
Act (Pub. L. 106–222), the Government
Paperwork Elimination Act (GPEA, Pub.
L. 105–277), the Electronic Signatures in
Global and National Commerce Act (ESign, Pub. L. 106–229), and the EGovernment Act of 2002 (H.R. 2458).
Need and Use of the Information: The
USDA eAuthentication Service provides
public and government businesses
single sign-on capability for USDA
applications, management of user
credentials, and verification of identify,
authorization, and electronic signatures.
USDA eAuthentication obtains
customer information through an
electronic self-registration process
provided through the eAuthentication
Web site. The voluntary self-registration
process applies to USDA Agency
customers, as well as employees who
request access to protected USDA Web
applications and services via the
Internet. Users can register directly from
the eAuthentication Web site located at
www.eauth.egov.usda.gov. The
information collected through the
online self-registration process will be
used to provide an eAuthentication
account that will enable the electronic
authentication of users. The users will
then have access to authorized resources
without needing to reauthenticate

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Title: Forest Industries Data
Collection System.
OMB Control Number: 0596–0010.
Summary of Collection: The Forest
and Range Renewable Resources
Planning Act of 1974 (Pub. L. 93–278),
National Forest Management Act of
1976 (16 U.S.C. 1600), and the Forest
and Rangeland Renewable Resources
Research Act of 1978 (Pub. L. 95–307)
amended by the Energy Security Act of
1980 (42 U.S.C. 8701) require the Forest
Service (FS) to evaluate trends in the
use of logs and wood chips, to forecast
anticipated levels of logs and wood
chips, and to analyze changes in the
harvest of the resources. Forest product
and other wood-using industries are
important to state, regional, and
national economies. In most southern
states, the value of rounded timber
products is ranked either first or second
in relation to other major agricultural
crops. The importance and value of the
timber products industry is significant
in other regions of the United States as
well. The FS will collect information
using questionnaires.
Need and Use of the Information: To
monitor the types, species, volumes,
sources, and prices of the timber
products harvested throughout the
Nation. Using the ‘‘Primary Mill
Questionnaire’’ FS will collect
industrial round wood information from
the primary wood-using industries
throughout the United States and from
mills in Canada that directly receive
wood from the United States. FS will
also use the ‘‘Pulp & Board Forest
Industries Questionnaire.’’ The data will
be used to develop specific economic
development plans for a new forestrelated industry in a State and to assist
existing industries in identifying raw
material problems and opportunities. If
the information were not collected, data
would not be available for sub-state,
state, regional and national policy
makers and program developers to make
decisions related to the forestland on a
scientific basis.
