SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of

to comment on proposed information collections. If you have comments or
suggestions, they should address one or more of the following points:

to properly perform its functions; (b) our estimate of the burden of
the proposed information collection and its accuracy; (c) ways we could
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information we
collect; (d) ways we could minimize the burden on respondents of
collecting the information, including through information technology;
and (e) whether the collection affects small businesses.
We will summarize any comments you submit and include the summary
in our request for OMB approval. All comments will become a matter of
public record.
In this notice, we solicit comments concerning the following
information collections:
1. Title: Requests for Civilian Service Records.
OMB number: 3095-0037.
Agency form number: NA Form 13022, Returned Request, NA Form 13068,
Walk-In Request for OPM Records or Information.
Type of review: Regular.
Affected public: Individuals or households.
Estimated number of respondents: 10,429.
Estimated time per response: 5 minutes.
Frequency of response: On occasion.
Estimated total annual burden hours: 869 hours.
Abstract: In accordance with rules issued by the Office of
Personnel Management, the National Personnel Records Center (NPRC) of
the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) administers
Official Personnel Folders (OPF) and Employee Medical Folders (EMF) of
former Federal civilian employees. When former Federal civilian
employees and other authorized individuals request information from or
copies of documents in OPF or EMF, they must provide in their requests
certain information about the employee and the nature of the request so
that we can determine whether they are authorized to receive the
information and so that we can find the correct records. The NA Form
13022, Returned Request Form, is used to request additional information
about the former Federal employee. The NA Form 13064, Reply to Request
Involving Relief Agencies, is used to request additional information
about the former relief agency employee. The NA Form 13068, Walk-In
Request for OPM Records or Information, is used by members of the
public, with proper authorization, to request a copy of a personnel or
medical record.
2. Title: Schedule A and Veterans Recruitment Initiative.
OMB number: 3095-0075.
Agency form number: NA Form 3102, NARA Employment Interest
Questionnaire.
Type of review: Regular.
Affected public: Individuals or households.
Estimated number of respondents: 300.
Estimated time per response: 5 minutes.
Frequency of response: On occasion.
Estimated total annual burden hours: 25 hours.
Abstract: This recruitment initiative connects people who are
veterans or are Schedule A-eligible with non-competitive employment
opportunities within our agency. The Special Program Placement
Coordinator (SPPC) serves as a liaison between the applicant and NARA
managers and supervisors to find viable employment opportunities for
applicants.
SPPC has developed a Resume Repository (retained in a spreadsheet)
to store resumes of qualified individuals who may meet our hiring
needs. The Repository helps our agency find highly motivated veterans
and Schedule A candidates who are eager to demonstrate their abilities
in the workplace through excepted service positions, which could become
permanent positions after trial period requirements have been met.
We collect the information for the Repository through an online
form, NARA Employment Interest Questionnaire, NA Form 3102, which
includes the following information for each individual: Applicant name,
email address, phone number, types of positions applicant is interested
in (may be multiple areas of interest), applicant's desired
location(s), and minimum starting grade level applicant is willing to
accept.
We enter the collected information from the questionnaire into the
Repository spreadsheet, which managers and supervisors can use to sort
and filter by position(s) of interest and/or duty location. We include
resumes and cover letters as a link beside each candidate's entry so
managers can view them and consider the candidate when looking for an
employee. Managers have unlimited access to the Repository information
and resumes to select qualified applicants to fill vacancies through a
direct, non-competitive hire.
The Schedule A and veterans recruitment questionnaire link will be
listed in our agency's information on the OPM website, in information
provided by other agencies and organizations with similar programs, and
on various pages of our agency's website at <a href="http://www.archives.gov">www.archives.gov</a> (<a href="http://www.archives.gov">http://www.archives.gov</a>).

Candidates must be U.S. citizens, eligible veterans, or be eligible
under the Schedule A hiring authority.
Gulam Shakir,
Acting Executive for Information Services/CIO.
