key individuals (e.g., supervisors, peers, subordinates) who have known
and worked with the

applicant. Reference checking is a necessary supplement to the
evaluation of resumes and other descriptions of training and
experience, and allows the selecting official to hire applicants with a
strong history of performance. The questions on this form have been
developed following the OPM, MSPB, and DOJ ``Best Practice'' guidelines
for reference checking.
5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of
time estimated for an average respondent to respond: An estimated 500
respondents will utilize the form, and it will take each respondent
approximately 20 minutes to complete the form.
6. An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated
with the collection: The estimated annual public burden associated with
this collection is 167 hours, which is equal to 500 (total # of annual
responses) * 20 minutes.
