SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As required by the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2), OPM is soliciting comments for this
collection. 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 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.
Background
OPM's Human Resources Strategy and Evaluation Solutions performs
assessment and related consultation activities for Federal agencies on
a reimbursable basis. The assessments are authorized by various
statutes and regulations: section 4702 of title 5, U.S.C.; E.O. 12862;
E.O. 13715; section 1128 of the National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 2004, Public Law 108-136; 5 U.S.C. 1101 note, 1103(a)(5),
1104, 1302, 3301, 3302, 4702, 7701 note; E.O. 13197, 66 FR 7853, 3 CFR,
2001 Comp., p. 748; E.O. 10577, 12 FR 1259, 3 CFR, 1954-1958 Comp., p.
218; and section 4703 of title 5, United States Code.
This collection request includes surveys we currently use and plan
to use during the next three years to measure Federal leaders'
effectiveness. These surveys all measure leadership characteristics.
Non-Federal respondents will almost never receive more than one of
these surveys. All these surveys consist of Likert-type, mark-one, and
mark-all-that-apply items, and may include a small number of open-ended
comment items. OPM's Leadership 360<SUP>TM</SUP> assessment measures
the 28 competencies that comprise the five Executive Core
Qualifications and Fundamental Competencies in the OPM leadership
model. The OPM Leadership 360<SUP>TM</SUP> consists of 116 items and is
almost never customized, although customization to meet an agency's
needs is possible. OPM's Leadership Potential Assessment consists of
103 items focused on identifying individuals ready to move into
supervisory positions. OPM's Personality Assessment for Leaders
consists of 236 items that measure leadership personality
characteristics within a ``Big 5'' framework. OPM's Leadership for
Engagement and Leadership for Inclusion surveys consist of 140 items
that measure 30 leadership behaviors and employees' perceptions of
their work unit related to engagement and Diversity, Equity, Inclusion,
and Accessibility (DEIA), respectively. The DEIA Pulse Survey consists
of 50 items that provide leaders with information related to the
demographics of their workforce, perceptions of the leader's policies,
procedures, and practices related to DEIA, and attitudes toward working
in the leader's organization. These assessments are almost always
administered electronically.
Three new surveys are being added to this collection: The
Leadership for Inclusion Survey (L4I), the Leadership for Engagement
Survey (L4E), and the DEIA Pulse Survey. For the remaining three
surveys the following minor updates, which did not impact the burden
estimate, have been made:
The OPM Leadership 360<SUP>TM</SUP> survey content was reviewed and
some changes were made, including refreshing some items to update the
language and/or better reflect current terminology, revamping the
response scale in an effort to increase response variance, and changing
some item language to make it more gender neutral (e.g., updated
language such as ``he or she'' to ``they'').
For the Leadership Potential Assessment, some item language was
changed to make it more gender neutral (e.g., updated language such as
``he or she'' to ``they'').
Minor changes were also made to the instructions of the Leadership
Profiler to match our new survey platform.
