  Citizen and Public/Private Organization Database

Description:
The Citizen and Public/Private Organization Database will create a single data store that houses citizen and public/private organization data (while maintaining compliance with Federal privacy laws and regulations). All internal USDA agencies will contribute to, access, and use this data as it relates to their needs and access rights. Further, this data can also be used for authentication of citizens and industry partners. To date, agencies do not share customer information, requiring citizens and public/private organizations that interact with multiple USDA agencies to provide duplicative information. This capability will reduce the burden placed on the public, enable cross-agency collaboration, and provide enhanced customer service.
