Background:
The Federal Register notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting
comments on the following collection of information was published on
January 24, 2023 (88 FR 4280). Under the provisions of Public Law 104-
50, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is given the authority
and the responsibility for developing and implementing its own
personnel system without regard to most of the provisions of title 5,
United States Code, exceptions being those concerning veteran's
preference and various benefits.
The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) developed a suite of forms
for use in automated employment processes: all under a single OMB
approval. The FAA office of Human Resource Management, Human Resources
(AHR) has the same OMB approval for its automated application for
employment. By automating processes for employment application and the
evaluation of candidates, AHR continues to markedly improve the service
it provides to the public as well as its ability to locate and hire the
best-qualified applicants. This automated process provides applicants
the capability to receive on-line results immediately upon submitting
their application questionnaires.
The Agency is requesting certain information necessary to determine
basic eligibility for employment and potential eligibility for
Veteran's Preference, Veteran's Readjustment Act, and People with
Disability appointments. In addition, occupation specific questions
assist AHR in determining candidates' qualifications in order that the
best-qualified candidates are hired for the many FAA occupations. The
system currently in use for this collection is the FAA Automated
Vacancy Information Access Tool for Online Referral (AVIATOR). This
system cannot be directly accessed. Applicants are transferred to the
AVIATOR system from OPM's USAJOBS website during the application
process.
Respondents: Over 180,000 U.S. citizens identified as applicants
for employment with the Federal Aviation Administration.
Frequency: On occasion/as interested.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: 180,000 hours.
Approximately 180,000 respondents will complete an application form
on an as needed basis. Based on this sample size, it will take the
average applicant approximately 1 hour to read the instructions and
complete the form.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: The estimated total burden is
180,000 hours annually.
Issued in Washington, DC, on March 31, 2023.
