Information Collection Request

    Title: U.S. Coast Guard Non-Appropriated Fund Employment 
Application.
    OMB Control Number: 1625-0120.
    Summary: The USCG Non-Appropriated Fund Employment Application form 
is used to collect applicant qualification information associated with 
vacancy announcements. The form allows individuals to apply for 
employment opportunities with the Coast Guard Non-appropriated fund 
(NAF) workforce and fills the gap created by the cancellation of the 
Optional Application for Federal Employment, Form OF-612, OMB No. 3206-
0219.
    Need: The U.S. Coast Guard rates applicants under the authority of 
5 U.S.C. 301, 1104, 1302, 3301, and 3304. The Optional Application for 
Federal Employment, Form OF-612, was cancelled and the information is 
now collected in USA Jobs. The NAF personnel system does not utilize 
USA Jobs because of the high cost and high turnover rate and thus 
relied heavily on form OF-612 for applicants.
    Forms: CG-1227B, Non-Appropriated Fund Employment Application.
    Respondents: Public applying for positions with the USCG Non-
appropriated fund workforce.
    Frequency: Per vacancy announcements.
    Hour Burden Estimate: The estimated burden remains 4,333 a year. 
The reporting requirements and the methodology for calculating burden, 
remain unchanged.
    Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. chapter 
35, as amended.

    Dated: September 12, 2024.
Kathleen Claffie,
Chief, Office of Privacy Management, U.S. Coast Guard.
