Final Approval Under OMB Delegated Authority of the Extension for Three 
Years, With Revision, of 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 will be necessary, the new hire is sent 
an email asking him or her to provide certain information 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 
New Employee Orientation. 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.
    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.
    Current actions: On March 11, 2025, the Board published a notice in 
the Federal Register (90 FR 11738) requesting public comment for 60 
days on the extension, with revision, of the FR 27. The Board proposed 
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. The 
comment period for this notice expired on May 12, 2025. The Board 
received one comment from one individual. The comment expressed support 
for the extension, with revision, of the FR 27. The Board will adopt 
the extension, with revision, of the FR 27 as originally proposed.

    Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, June 2, 2025.
Benjamin W. McDonough,
Deputy Secretary and Ombuds of the Board.
