On June 21, 2006, it was reported that someone breached
computer security measures at the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), and may have obtained the social security
numbers and personal information of some 26,000 employees and Washington-area contractors. The USDA will, when implemented,
oversee the National Animal Identification System or NAIS.

Premises Registration will be an "Official" USDA unique seven Character identifier.
In the New User Guide it states on Page 22:
The premises identification number (PIN) is assigned permanently to a geophysical location.
If an owner or entity sells his/her farm, the next operators of the premises use the original premises identification number
that had been assigned to that location. If the seller buys a new location to build a new operation that never had livestock,
he/she would register that location and obtain a new premises identification number (PIN).
Premises Identification = Encumbrance
