OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT

 
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request for a Revised 
Information Collection: SF-15, Application for 10-Point Veteran 
Preference

AGENCY: Office of Personnel Management.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. 
L. 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 a revised 
information collection. The Application for 10-Point Veteran Preference 
(Standard Form 15) is used by agencies, OPM examining offices, and 
agency appointing officials to adjudicate individuals' claims for 
veterans' preference in accordance with the Veterans' Preference Act of 
1944. OPM intends to update the form to reflect elimination of the 
Federal Personnel Manual and Standard Form 171 (Application for Federal 
Employment), and revised forms issued by the

Department of Veterans Affairs used to document service-connected 
disabilities.
    Approximately 4,500 forms are completed annually. Each form takes 
approximately 10 minutes to complete. The annual estimated burden is 
750 hours.
    Comments are particularly invited on: Whether this information is 
necessary for the proper performance of functions of OPM, 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 
(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: We will consider comments received on or before October 21, 
2003.

ADDRESSES: Send or deliver written comments to: Leah Meisel, Deputy 
Associate Director for Talent and Capacity Policy, U.S. Office of 
Personnel Management, 1900 E Street NW., Room 6551, Washington, DC 
20415.
