This notice relies on the authority of the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995; 44 U.S.C. chapter 35, as amended. An ICR is an application to
OIRA seeking the approval, extension, or renewal of a Coast Guard

describing the Collection's purpose, the Collection's likely burden on
the affected public, an explanation of the necessity of the Collection,
and other important information describing the Collection. There is one
ICR for each Collection. The Coast Guard invites comments on whether
this ICR should be granted based on the Collection being necessary for
the proper performance of Departmental functions. In particular, the
Coast Guard would appreciate comments addressing: (1) The practical
utility of the Collection; (2) the accuracy of the estimated burden of
the Collection; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of information subject to the Collection; and (4) ways to minimize the
burden of the Collection on respondents, including the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of information technology. These
comments will help OIRA determine whether to approve the ICR referred
to in this Notice.
We encourage you to respond to this request by submitting comments

Information Collection Request
Title: U.S. Coast Guard Exchange Non-Appropriated Fund Employment
Application.
OMB Control Number: 1625-0120.
Summary: The USCG Non-Appropriated Employment Application form will
be used to collect applicant qualification information associated with
vacancy announcements. The form will allow individuals without resumes,
computers and/or those with limited digital literacy equal access to
apply for employment opportunities with the Coast Guard Non-
appropriated fund (NAF) workforce and will fill the gap created by the
cancellation of the Optional Application for Federal Employment, Form
OF-612, OMB No. 3206-0219.
Need: The Optional Application for Federal Employment, Form OF-612,
was cancelled and the information is now collected in USA Jobs. The NAF
personnel system does not utilize USA Jobs because of the high cost and
high turnover rate and thus relied heavily on form OF-612 for
applicants.
Forms:
<bullet> CG-1227B, Non-Appropriated Fund Employment Application.
Respondents: Public applying for positions in the USCG Non-
appropriated fund workforce.
Frequency: Per vacancy announcement.
Hour Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has increased from 3837
to 4333 hours a year, due to a change (i.e., increase) in the estimated
annual number of respondents.
Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. chapter
35, as amended.
Dated: June 11, 2021.

Chief, Office of Privacy Management, U.S. Coast Guard.
