The collection of the data such as full legal name, address, phone, social security number, birthdate, place of birth, country of citizenship is required to input into the USDA system of record, Empower Human Resources (EmpowHR), so that upon submission, it conforms to the data requirements set forth by USAccess. Please see Appendix B FNS 775 EmpowHR/Person Model
which shows the required biographic data to be collected for system input.
Legal authority for gathering of data fields mentioned above comes from the Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (Appendix A Legal Authority). The Directive references HSPD-12 as the chosen standard for data collection for employees and contractors. HSPD-12 was issued on August 12, 2004 and calls for a mandatory, government-wide standard for secure and reliable ID for all of its employees and contractors to access federally-controlled facilities and networks. Based upon this directive, the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) developed Federal Information Processing Standards Publication (FIPS Pub) 201. USDAâs LincPass card is designed to link a personâs identity to an ID credential and the credential to a personâs ability to physically and logically access federally controlled buildings and information systems, respectively. Authorizing statute includes 731.106(c)(2).
