OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT
Proposed Collection; Comments Request for Review of an Expiring
Information Collection: OPM Form 1203-AW, Qualifications & Availability
Form C, OPM Form 1203-FX, Qualifications & Availability Form C, and OPM
Form 1203-EFX, Qualifications and Availability Form EZ
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 a request for review of an expiring Form for
information collection. The OPM Form 1203-AW, Qualifications &
Availability Form C, is an optical scan form designed to collect
applicant information and qualifications in a format suitable for
automated processing and to create applicant records for an automated
examining system. OPM uses the form to carry out its responsibility for
open competitive examining for admission to the competitive service in
accordance with 5 U.S.C. section 3304. The OPM Form 1203-FX,
Qualifications & Availability Form C, and the OPM Form 1203-EFX,
Qualifications and Availability Form EZ, are used to collect applicant
information in a format suitable for automated processing, electronic
transmission, and reproduction using a laser printer.
Approximately 500,000 of the OPM Form 1203 are completed annually.
The public burden of information collection is estimated to vary from
20 minutes to 45 minutes to complete this form including time for
reviewing instructions, gathering the data needed, and completing and
reviewing entries. The average time to complete this form is 30
minutes. The annual estimated burden is 225,000 hours.
Comments on this proposed reinstatement are particularly invited
on:
Whether this collection of 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 is 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 the
appropriate technological collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
For copies of this proposal, contact Mary Beth Smith-Toomey on 202-
606-8358 or e-mail at mbtoomey@opm.gov.
DATES: Comments on this proposal should be received on or before
October 5, 2001.
ADDRESSES: Send or deliver comments to--U.S. Office of Personnel
Management, Employment Service, ATTN: Tim Firlie, 1900 E Street, NW.,
Room 1425, Washington, DC 20415-9820.
