OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT

 
Proposed Collection; Comment Request for Review of an Expiring 
Information Collection: Declaration for Federal Employment Optional 
Form 306

AGENCY: Office of Personnel Management.

ACTION: Notice.

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

[[Page 45861]]

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. 
L. 104-13), this notice announces that the Office of Personnel 
Management intends to submit to the Office of Management and Budget a 
request for clearance of an expiring information collection. The OF 306 
is completed by applicants who are under serious consideration for 
employment. It is completed early enough in the employment process that 
if an agency encounters an applicant who did not register with the 
Selective Service, the agency would have sufficient time to determine 
if non-registration was done knowingly and willfully prior to making a 
final employment decision.
    Comments are particularly invited on:
    [sbull] Whether this collection of information is necessary for the 
proper performance of functions of the Office of Personnel Management.
    [sbull] Whether our estimate of the public burden of this 
collection is accurate, and based on valid assumptions and methodology; 
and
    [sbull] Ways in which we can minimize the burden of the collection 
of information on those who are to respond, through use of the 
appropriate technological collection techniques or other forms of 
information technology.
    It is estimated that 474,000 individuals will respond annually. 
Each form takes approximately 15 minutes to complete. The annual 
estimated burden is 118,500 hours.
    For copies of this proposal, contact Mary Beth Smith-Toomey on 
(202) 606-8358, Fax (202) 418-3251 or e-mail to mbtoomey@opm.gov. 
Please be sure to include a mailing address with your request.

DATES: Comments on this proposal should be received within 60 calendar 
days from the date of this publication.

Associate Director, Center for Investigations Services, U.S. Office of
