Abstract of Proposed Collection
The information solicited is used to establish eligibility and
qualifications at U.S. Embassies, Consulates, and Missions abroad. The
respondents are locals who live in the 175 countries abroad and who are
applying for a position at the U.S. Embassy, Consulate or Mission in
their country. In addition, Family members who are accompanying their
partners to assignments in the U.S. Embassies, Consulates or Mission
abroad. The authority is the Foreign Service Act of 1980, as amended,
and 22 U.S.C 2669(c).
Methodology
Candidates for employment use the DS-0174 to apply for Mission-
advertised positions around the world. Mission recruitments generate
approximately 1 million applications per year, the majority of which
are collected electronically using an applicant management system,
Electronic Recruitment Application (ERA). Data that HR and hiring
officials extract from the DS-0174 determine employment eligibility and
qualifications for the position, and selections according to Federal
Policies.
