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

Request for Comment on Information Collection Proposals
The Board invites public comment on the following information
collections, which are being reviewed under authority delegated by the
OMB under the PRA. Comments are invited on the following:
a. Whether the proposed collections of information are necessary
for the
[[Page 32010]]
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 collections, 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

Proposal Under OMB Delegated Authority To Extend for Three Years, With
Revision, the Following Information Collections
Collection title: Applications for Employment with the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
Collection identifier: FR 28.
OMB control number: 7100-0181.
General description of collection: The forms that comprise the FR
28 are used to manage the Board's hiring process by collecting needed
information on candidates. The FR 28a (Application for Employment), is
used to examine, rate, or assess the applicant's qualifications, and to
contact the applicant to arrange an interview. The FR 28a can be
completed either online in two parts (the Initial Application portion
and, if selected for an interview, the Interview Selection portion) or
in its entirety as a PDF. The FR 28s (Applicant's Voluntary Self-
Identification) is used for equal employment opportunity (EEO)
recordkeeping, reporting, and self-evaluation of hiring practices. The
FR 28i (Research Assistant Application) is a supplement to the FR 28a
and is used to collect contact information for an application for
employment as a Research Assistant (RA), including to help match an RA
candidate's interests with the different research areas at the Board
and determine the applicants' data analysis and programming experience.
The FR 28c (Pre-Hire Conflict of Interest Screening Form) is used to
ensure advance knowledge of a prospective employee's potential
conflicts of interest.
Proposed revisions: The Board proposes to revise the FR 28a by
removing one data field. The Board proposes to revise the FR 28s by
changing one data field. The Board proposes to revise the FR 28i by
adding eight new data fields and removing one data field, and to revise
the FR 28c by adding a new section to the form and updating the
language of several of the questions for readability and to include
questions about financial assets not previously contemplated due to
technological changes that have occurred. Lastly, the Board proposes to
revise the FR 28 clearance to include a new Reference Check Form (FR
28r).
Frequency: Event-generated.
Respondents: Individuals seeking employment with the Board.
Total estimated number of respondents: FR 28a (Initial
Application), 32,600; FR 28a (Interview Selection), 1,769; FR 28a
(PDF), 238; FR 28s, 32,838; FR 28i, 330; FR 28c, 2007; FR 28r, 650.
Estimated average hours per response: FR 28a (Initial Application),
0.48; FR 28a (Interview Selection), 1.51; FR 28a (PDF), 1.69; FR 28s,
0.02; FR 28i, 0.91; FR 28c, 0.62; FR 28r, 0.34.
Total estimated change in burden: -62.
Total estimated annual burden hours: 21,143.
