OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT


Proposed Collection, Comment Request Optional Form 306

AGENCY: Office of Personnel Management.

ACTION: Proposed collection; comment request.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. 
L. 104-13) and 5 CFR 1320.5 (a) (I) (iv), this notice announces that 
OPM intends to submit to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a 
request for reclearance of an information collection. Optional Form 306 
(Declaration for Federal Employment) is used by OPM and other agencies 
to collect information to determine an individual's acceptability for 
Federal employment and enrollment status in the Government's Life 
Insurance program.
    ``Comments are particularly invited on: whether this collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of function of the 
Office of Personnel Management, and whether it will have practical 
utility; whether our estimate of the public burden of this collection 
of information is accurate, and based on valid assumptions and 
methodology; and ways in which we can minimize the burden of collection 
of information on those who respond, through the use of appropriate 
technological collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology.''
    It is estimated that 474,000 individuals will respond annually for 
a total burden of 118,500 hours. To obtain copies of this proposal 
please contact James M. Farron at (202) 414-3208 or by E-mail to 
[email protected].

DATES: Comments on this proposal should be received on or before 
February 10, 1998. Submit comments on this proposal to Richard A. 
Ferris, Office of Personnel Management, Room 5416, 1900 E. Street N.
