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 information collection was previously published in the
Federal Register on February 24, 2026 at 91 FR 8921 allowing for a 60-
day public comment period. No comments were received. The purpose of
this notice is to allow for an additional 30 days for public comments.
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: 5 U.S.C. 4702 and 4703; Section 1128, Public
Law 108-136 (5 U.S.C. 7101 note); 5 U.S.C. 1103(a)(5), 1104, 3301; E.O.
13197, 66 FR 7853 (Jan. 18, 2001).
This collection request includes surveys we currently use and plan
to use during the next three years to measure agency performance,
climate, employee attitudes, and leadership effectiveness. OMB Control
No. 3206-0252 covers a broad range of surveys all focused on improving
organizational performance. OMB Control No. 3206-0253 surveys focus on
leadership characteristics. Non-Federal respondents will almost never
receive more than one of these surveys. All of 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. The surveys included under
OMB Control Nos. 3206-0252 and 3206-0253 are almost always administered
electronically.
