SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 15, 1984, OMB delegated to the Board
authority under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) to approve and assign
OMB control numbers to collections of information conducted or
sponsored by the Board. In exercising this delegated authority, the
Board is directed to take every reasonable step to solicit comment. In
determining whether to approve a collection of information, the Board
will consider all comments received from the public and other agencies.
During the comment period for this proposal, a copy of the proposed
PRA OMB submission, including the draft reporting form and
instructions, supporting statement (which contains more detail about
the information collection and burden estimates than this notice), and
other documentation, will be made available on the Board's public

Final versions of these documents will be made available at <a href="https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a>, if approved.
Request for Comment on Information Collection Proposal
The Board invites public comment on the following information
collection, which is being reviewed under authority delegated by the
OMB under the PRA. Comments are invited on the following:
a. Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for
the proper performance of the Board's functions, including whether the
information has practical utility;
b. The accuracy of the Board's estimate of the burden of the
proposed information collection, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
c. Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected;
d. Ways to minimize the burden of information collection on
respondents, including through the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information technology; and
e. Estimates of capital or startup costs and costs of operation,
maintenance, and purchase of services to provide information.
At the end of the comment period, the comments and recommendations
received will be analyzed to determine the extent to which the Board
should modify the proposal.
Proposal Under OMB Delegated Authority To Extend for Three Years, With
Revision, the Following Information Collection
Collection title: New Hire Information Collection.
Collection identifier: FR 27.
OMB control number: 7100-0375.
General description of collection: This information collection
provides for the electronic collection of certain personnel information
from new hires using a secure web-based portal, the New Hire Portal,
before the first day of employment of a new hire. As part of the
onboarding process for new hires, a Human Resources (HR) professional
at the Board identifies the necessary information that must be
collected from the new hire, which is dependent upon the type of hire
that the person is. The types of hires include Regular Hires, which are
hires who are being hired into a non-intern position and not
transferring from a non-federal agency, including a Governor or Board
officer; Intern Hires, which are hires being hired into an intern
position; and Federal Transfers, which are hires who are transferring
from another federal agency. Once the HR professional has identified
the types of information that
[[Page 11739]]
will be necessary, the new hire is sent an email asking him or her to
provide the information described below through the New Hire Portal
prior to their official start date.
The New Hire Portal is broken out into different sections and each
section corresponds to the hardcopy forms that new employees previously
filled out and provided to the Board during or after the first day of
NEO. The information collection now involves a new hire electronically
providing this personnel information and filling out the applicable
sections of the New Hire Portal before their first day of orientation.
The sections of the portal that each new hire is asked to complete
electronically depend upon the type of position that the new hire has
been offered at the Board.
Proposed revisions: The Board proposes to revise the FR 27 by
changing the collection platform from the New Hire Portal to Workday
Onboarding in June 2025, adding two new categories of hires categorized
as Officers/Governors and Contingent Workers, restructuring sections
into individual tasks, adding new data fields, removing data fields,
and relabeling data fields. There will also be a change in the login
process, as all respondents, except Contingent Workers, will be
required to complete identity proofing and set up a secure account
through a separate system, <a href="http://Login.gov">Login.gov</a>, before accessing Workday
Onboarding. The Designation of Beneficiary Unpaid Compensation of
Deceased Employee form and Executive Death and Dismemberment Benefit
for Officers and Governors questionnaire, previously not subject to
PRA, will now be collected prior to a hire's first day of employment.
The Board will no longer collect information for use on the FEGLI
Program Designation of Beneficiary form through the New Hire
Information Collection. The Board will also no longer collect
information to populate the state tax form prior to the hire's start
date, so it will no longer be subject to PRA. The Board will begin
collecting Form I-9 (Employment Eligibility Verification)
electronically through Workday Onboarding, rather than via a PDF.
Frequency: Event-generated.
Respondents: The FR 27 panel comprises individuals who are new
hires to the Board but have not yet become employees.
Total estimated number of respondents: Regular Hire, 235; Intern
Hire, 131; Federal Transfer, 39; Governor/Officer, 9; Contingent
Worker, 637.
Estimated average hours per response: Regular Hire, 1.78; Intern
Hire, 1.71; Federal Transfer, 1.95; Governor/Officer, 1.86; Contingent
Worker, 1.5.
Total estimated change in burden: 1,298.
Total estimated annual burden hours: 1,691.
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, March 6, 2025.
Benjamin W. McDonough,
Deputy Secretary and Ombuds of the Board.
