Final Approval Under OMB Delegated Authority of the Extension for Three 
Years, With Revision, of 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 FR 28 consists of the 
following information collections:
    The Application for Employment (FR 28a), which collects information 
to determine the qualifications of applicants for employment with the 
Board (such as education and training, employment records, and other 
general background information since the time the applicant left high 
school), the Applicant's Voluntary Self-Identification (FR 28s), which 
is an optional form that collects information on the applicant's sex, 
race, and ethnicity, the Research Assistant Application (FR 28i), which 
collects contact information, information on a Research Assistant (RA) 
applicant's level of interest in various economic topics and experience 
in different data analytics/programs, and application documentation 
(including resume, cover letter, transcripts, and letter(s) of 
recommendation), the Pre-Hire Conflict of Interest Screening Form (FR 
28c), which collects information from external applicants after they 
have been selected for an interview at the Board regarding certain 
financial interests that could pose a conflict of interest based on the 
Board's supplemental ethics regulations and/or the duties of the 
position for which they are applying, and the Reference Check Form (FR 
28r), which captures information from professional references when the 
Board conducts reference checks for external applicants who have 
received a verbal offer of employment.
    Frequency: Event-generated.
    Respondents: Individuals seeking employment with the Board.
    Total estimated number of respondents: FR 28a (LinkedIn), 14,076; 
FR 28a (Resume Parsing), 18,098; FR 28a (Manual Application), 4,021; FR 
28a (Use Last Application), 4,021; FR 28a (Interview Selection), 1,129; 
FR 28a (PDF), 238; FR 28s, 40,216; FR 28i, 800; FR 28c, 1,547; and FR 
28r, 273.
    Estimated average hours per response: FR 28a (LinkedIn), 0.46; FR 
28a (Resume Parsing), 0.44; FR 28a (Manual Application), 0.69; FR 28a 
(Use Last Application), 0.26; FR 28a (Interview Selection), 0.71; FR 
28a (PDF), 1.69; FR 28s, 0.02; FR 28i, 0.91; FR 28c, 0.62; and FR 28r, 
0.34.
    Total estimated change in burden: (1,950).
    Total estimated annual burden hours: 22,045.
    Current actions: On July 9, 2026, the Board published a notice in 
the Federal Register (91 FR 42441) requesting public comment for 60 
days on the extension, with revision, of the FR 28. The Board proposed 
to revise the FR 28 by changing the collection platform of the FR 28a 
and FR 28s from Taleo to Workday, which will allow for three new 
submission methods in the Workday system (applying through LinkedIn, 
applying with resume parsing, and applying with previous application); 
the FR 28c, which is currently sent out via email, will also transition 
into Workday. The platform change will result in several data field 
changes for the FR 28a to (1) align with the configuration of Workday 
as the Board's new applicant tracking system (ATS) and (2) remove 
fields that are no longer necessary. By Fall 2028, the FR 28i will also 
be transitioned from ServiceNow to Workday. Before the transition of 
the FR 28i into Workday, one additional data field will be added in 
order to link applicants between ServiceNow and Workday; once the FR 
28i is also in Workday, the data field will be removed. There were no 
proposed changes to the FR 28r as part of this clearance. The comment 
period for this notice expired on September 8, 2026. The Board did not 
receive any comments. The revisions will be implemented as proposed.

    Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, October 2, 
2026.
Erin M. Cayce,
Assistant Secretary of the Board.
