SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    Title: Personnel Administration Forms.
    Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Form Number(s): Various.
    Respondents: Individuals or households.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 8,299.
    Estimated Total Burden Hours: 11,372.
    Frequency of Response: When persons apply or update applications.
    Needs and Uses: On January 20, 1982, OMB approved an information 
collection proposal submitted by the Panama Canal Commission and 
assigned it the control number 3207-0005. It is proposed to continue 
using this information collection. The information collected is needed 
to determine the qualifications, suitability and availability of 
applicants for Federal employment and temporary employment in the 
Panama Canal area so that U.S. Federal Government agencies can be 
supplied with eligibles to fill vacant positions. The information will 
be used by Central Examining Office employees performing examining and 
suitability duties; by subject-matter experts on rating panels; and by 
agency officials making selections to fill vacancies. Collections of 
information made by the Central Examining Office are related to the 
filing or updating of application forms. Of the 8,299 respondents who 
complete application forms annually, 4,815 complete full applications 
and 3,484 merely complete forms after 12 or 18 months have elapsed 
(depending on the position applied for) and to update an application 
already on file. The total time required for applicants for employment 
to respond to the information collection is estimated to vary from 40 
to 300 minutes with an average of 120 minutes to complete a full 
application, including supplemental qualifications forms when required, 
and is estimated to vary from 5 to 60 minutes with an average of 30 
minutes to complete forms to update an application already on file. In 
addition to the forms used for the basic application there are 9 forms 
which are used as notices or inquiries. These forms are issued 
separately and have burden times ranging from 5 to 60 minutes with an 
average of 30 minutes per response. The total time required annually 
for persons to respond to collections of information is estimated at 
11,372 hours.
