Currently Approved Information
Collection

ACTION: Notice and request for
comments.

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.

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.

Acting Assistant Secretary for

Food Safety and Inspection Service
Title: Importation and Transportation
of Meat and Poultry Products.
OMB Control Number: 0583–0094.
Summary of Collection: The Food
Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has
been delegated the authority to exercise
the functions of the Secretary as
provided in the Federal Meat Inspection
Act (FMIA) (21 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) and
the Poultry Products Inspection Act
(PPIA) (21 U.S.C. 451 et seq.). These
statutes mandate that FSIS protect the
public by ensuring that meat and
poultry products are safe, wholesome,
unadulterated, and properly labeled and
packaged. 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.
