DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE Office of the Secretary Notice of Request for Extension of a Currently Approved Information Collection Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Coordination, USDA. ACTION: Notice and request for comments. srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES AGENCY: SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35), 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 US 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, Government-wide 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 March 20, 2013, to be assured of consideration. Additional Information or Comments: Contact Richard Holman, Chief, Physical Security Division, Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Coordination, USDA, Room 101, VerDate Mar<15>2010 19:07 Mar 25, 2013 Jkt 229001 Reporter’s Agriculture Building, 300 7th Street SW., Washington, DC 20024. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: USDA PIV Request for Credential. OMB Number: 0505–0022. Expiration Date of Approval: June 30, 2013. Type of Request: Extension and revision of a currently approved information collection. Abstract: The HSPD–12 information collection consists of two phases of implementation: Personal Identity Verification phase I (PIV I) and Personal Identity Verification phase II (PIV II). 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, Personal Identity Verification (PIV) Phases I & II. USDA must implement an identity proofing, registration, and issuance process consistent with the requirements outlined in FIPS 201–1. Previously, this information collection form was required as part of USDA’s PIV I identity proofing and registration process. For PIV II, implemented after 10/27/06, 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 has entered Phase II (PIV II) of 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 for PIV II. The Burden is estimated based on the three prerequisites for PIV Credential issuance as well as the receipt of the PIV Credential itself. Respondents: For PIV I, new long term contractors, affiliates, and employees must undergo the information collection process. For PIV II, 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 PO 00000 Frm 00001 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Respondents: PIV II respondents: 12,000. Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: Each respondent should complete one response. Estimated Total One-Time Burden on Respondents: PIV II: 30,000 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 for OMB approval. All comments will become a matter of public record. Gregory L.

Meat and poultry products not marked with the mark of inspection and shipped from one official establishment to another for further processing must be transported under FSIS seal to prevent such unmarked product for entering into commerce. To track product shipped under seal, FSIS requires shipping establishments to complete a form that identifies the type, amount, and weight of the product. Foreign countries exporting meat and poultry products to the U.S. must establish eligibility for importation of product into the U.S., and annually certify that their inspection systems are ‘‘equivalent to’’ the U.S. inspection system. Meat and poultry products intended for import into the U.S. must be accompanied by a health certificate, signed by an official of the foreign government, stating that products have been produced by certified foreign establishments. FSIS will collect information using form 7350–1, Request and Notice of Shipment of Sealed Meat/ Poultry. Need and Use of the Information: FSIS will collect information to identify the product type, quantity, destination, and originating country of the meat and poultry. Also, FSIS will collect name, number, method of shipping, and destination of product, type and description of product to be shipped, reason for shipping product, and a signature. FSIS will use the information to verify that a meat or poultry product intended for import has been prepared in a plant certified to prepare product for export to the U.S. FSIS will use the information to conduct re-inspection of meat and poultry imported to the U.S. E:\FR\FM\26MRN1.SGM 26MRN1
