SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the PRA and 5 CFR
1320.8(d)(1), we provide the general public and other Federal agencies
with an opportunity to comment on new, proposed, revised, and
continuing collections of information. This helps us assess the impact
of our information collection requirements and minimize the public's
reporting burden. It also helps the public understand our information
collection requirements and provide the requested data in the desired
format.
A Federal Register notice with a 60-day public comment period
soliciting comments on this collection of information was published on
September 12, 2022 (87 FR 55847). No comments were received.
As part of our continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent
burdens, we are again soliciting comments from the public and other
Federal agencies on the proposed ICR that is described below. We are
especially interested in public comment addressing the following:
(1) Whether or not the collection of information is necessary for
the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including
whether or not the information will have practical utility.
(2) The accuracy of our estimate of the burden for this collection
of information, including the validity of the methodology and
assumptions used.
(3) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected.
(4) How might the agency minimize the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g.,
permitting electronic submission of response.
Comments that you submit in response to this notice are a matter of
public record. Before including your address, phone number, email
address, or other personal identifying information in your comment, you
should be aware that your entire comment--including your personal
identifying information--may be made publicly available at any time.
While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your personal
identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we
will be able to do so.
Abstract: The United States Park Police (USPP) collects information
from applicants during the Pre-employment Suitability Determination
Phase as part of the application process for consideration as a
candidate for park police positions. The USPP is authorized by Title 5,
CFR, Section 5.2, ``Investigation and evaluations,'' to collect
information as required in the USPP Pre-employment Suitability Process.
The USPP uses the forms described below as a part of the application
process required to conduct an OPM background investigation.
Form 10-2201, ``Personal Qualifications Statement''--provides
information on the personal history of the candidate.
Form 10-2201A, ``Information Release Form''--authorizes the release
of all personal and confidential records, including medical records
concerning physical and mental health.
Form 10-2201B, ``Release to Obtain a Credit Report''--authorizes
the release of information from consumer reporting agencies.
Form 10-2201C, ``Lautenberg Certification''--requires information
and certification by the applicant regarding a conviction of a
misdemeanor crime of domestic violence.
Form 10-2201D, ``Physical Efficiency Battery Waiver''--requires the
candidate to provide information regarding medical conditions which may
impede their ability to meet the minimum efficiency score on the
Physical Efficiency Battery (PEB).
Proposed Revisions
Form 10-2201E (Removed)--Physician Consent Form--This form is no
longer necessary. The USPP Pre-Employment Physical Efficiency Battery
(PEB) does not require a physician to clear or medically qualify the
applicant for basic physical activity. Applicants can make the
determination themselves if they are medically fit enough to
participate in the PEB.
Form 10-2201F (Removed) Applicant Documentation Form--This form is
no longer necessary. Applicants defer or decline USPP's offer of
employment through email to NPS Human Resources.
