  ePermits/Certificates

Description:
The ePermits/eCertificates initiative will provide electronic options to issue permits, certificates and other regulation-based verifications to USDA's customers and business partners. This Internet-based tool will allow users to submit permit applications, receive notifications of expirations, and access options for renewal. Internal workflow technologies will be used to appropriately route submissions for application reviews, scheduling of physical inspections, and other appropriate actions to the responsible USDA agencies. This initiative will reduce burdens on USDA by reducing data entry, processing, and issuance/delivery time and expense.
