FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: A copy of this information collection
request, with applicable supporting documentation, may be obtained by
contacting USA Staffing Program Office, Office of Personnel Management,
1900 E Street NW, Washington, DC 20415, Attention: Bridget Dongarra via
email to <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#7e3c0c171a191b0a503a1110191f0c0c1f3e110e1350191108"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="185a6a717c7f7d6c365c77767f796a6a7958776875367f776e">[email protected]</span></a> or by phone at 202-553-1319.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As required by the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995, as amended (44 U.S.C. chapter 35), OPM is soliciting comments
for this collection. This information collection was previously
published in the Federal Register on March 21, 2023, at 88 FR 17042,
allowing for a 60-day public comment period. No comments were received
for this information collection. The purpose of this notice is to allow
an additional 30 days for public comments.
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, this notice
announces that OPM intends to submit to the Office of Management and
Budget a request for review of a previously approved emergency
collection for USA Staffing's Onboarding features. USA Staffing is
OPM's talent acquisition solution. Federal agencies use USA Staffing to
onboard candidates for
[[Page 88140]]
Federal positions while complying with appropriate rules and
procedures. Federal agencies purchase the services of USA Staffing
through an Interagency Agreement (IAA) under the provisions of the
Revolving Fund, 5 U.S.C. 1304(e)(1), which permits OPM to perform human
resources management services for Federal agencies on a cost-recovery
basis.
USA Staffing's public facing web page for new hires provides a
single interface to submit data and forms required during the Federal
onboarding process. New Hires are individuals selected for Federal
employment but who have not yet entered on duty and who authenticate at
USA Staffing using their <a href="http://USAJOBS.gov">USAJOBS.gov</a> accounts. USA Staffing captures
the essential information Federal agencies require to onboard
applicants for Federal jobs under the authority of 5 U.S.C. 1104, 1302,
3301-3320, 3361, 3393, and 3394.
This information collection was initially approved under an
emergency authorization in pursuit of compliance with Executive Order
(E.O.) 14043, titled ``Requiring Coronavirus Disease 2019 Vaccination
for Federal Employees.'' This action seeks to reinstate the information
collection independent of that Executive Order and instead focus on the
regular business of the USA Staffing Onboarding system--gathering new
hire information in pursuit of timely and efficient entry-on-duty
actions.
Some New Hire information elements collected by USA Staffing are
collected under different OMB control numbers. Information for these
elements that have their own approvals (such as the OF 306 and I-9
forms) are not included in this collection. The subject of this
information collection includes questions about basic identity,
employment and service background, benefits enrollments, and payroll.
The initial emergency clearance did not distinguish between these two
contexts.
The Office of Management and Budget is particularly interested in
comments that:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
4. 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
submissions of responses.
