Logging in for Federated Users

A Federated Agency uses eAuth to gain access to applications. Federated Agencies are those Agencies listed on the Choose an Agency drop-down list. A non-Federated Agency does not use eAuth to gain access to applications and will have to use PIV or Login.gov.

If the Agency accesses the application using the eAuth login, follow the steps below.

PIV (eAuth):

  1. To log in to EPP, connect to www.nfc.usda.gov/epps. The Warning Banner page is displayed.
