OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT

 
Proposed Collection; Comment Request for Review of an Expiring 
Information Collection: OPM-1386B

AGENCY: Office of Personnel Management.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Public 
Law 104-13, May 22, 1995), this notice announces that the Office of 
Personnel Management (OPM) intends to submit to the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) a request for review of an expiring 
information collection. OPM-1386B, Applicant Race and National Origin 
Questionnaire, is used to gather information concerning the race and 
national origin of applicants for employment under the Outstanding 
Scholar provision of the Luevano Consent Decree, 93 F.R.D. 68 (1981).
    Approximately 100,000 OPM-1386B forms are completed annually. Each 
form takes approximately 8 minutes to complete. The annual estimated 
burden is 13,333 hours.
    Comments are particularly invited on: whether this collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of functions of the 
Office of Personnel Management and whether it will have practical 
utility; whether our estimate of the public burden of this collection 
of information is accurate and based on valid assumptions and 
methodology; and ways in which we can minimize the burden of the 
collection of information on those who are to respond, through the use 
of appropriate technological collection techniques or other forms of 
information technology.
    For copies of this proposal, contact Mary Beth Smith-Toomey on

DATES: Comments on this proposal should be received on or before June
