    Title: Request for USDA Identification (ID) Badge.
    OMB Control Number: 0505-0022.
    Summary of Collection: The AD-1197 was initially created to support 
the HSPD-12 information collection as 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) 201-3. 
USDA must implement an identity proofing, registration, and issuance 
process consistent with the requirements outlined in FIPS 201-3. This 
information collection form was required as part of USDA's identity 
proofing and registration process. After 10/27/06, form AD 1197 was 
eliminated from the HSPD-12 process with the USDA's participation in 
the GSA USAccess program, however the form continues to be utilized for 
the information collection and processing of USDA Site Badges (non-
PIV). As USDA continues the HSPD-12 program, one estimate of burden has 
been calculated and one process description has been included.
    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 USAccess 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. An automated notification workflow provides streamlined 
communication between role holder and the applicant, notifying each as 
to the respective steps in the process. 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.
    Description of Respondents: Individuals or households.
    Number of Respondents: 3,000.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: On occasion.
    Total Burden Hours: 3,000.
