SUMMARY: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 
(44 U.S.C., 3501 et seq.), this notice announces that the Office of 
Security and Law Enforcement, Department of Veterans Affairs, has 
submitted the collection of information abstracted below to the Office 
of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and comment. The PRA

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:   
    Title and Form Number: VA Police Officer Pre-Employment Screening 
Checklist, VA Form 0120.
    OMB Control Number: 2900-0524.
    Type of Review: Reinstatement, without change, of a previously 
approved collection for which approval has expired.
    Abstract: Each VA medical center has authority to hire its own VA 
police officers. Prior to employment of a qualified applicant, each 
facility is required to conduct an FBI arrest record inquiry and to 
contact listed former employers for a determination of any adverse 
performance or suitability information. VA Form 0120 is completed by 
each VA facility human resources office and serves as the record of 
pre-employment screening to determine the qualifications and 
suitability of the applicant. The Office of Security and Law 
Enforcement reviews each completed form and authorizes the VA police 
badge set issuance only in those instances where screening 
documentation is satisfactorily accomplished. The form serves as a 
standard means of ensuring the completion of the pre-employment 
process.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required 
to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a 
currently valid OMB control number. The Federal Register Notice with a 
60-day comment period soliciting comments on this collection of 
information was published on March 27, 2000 at page 16244.
    Affected Public: State, Local or Tribal Government, and Business or 
other for-profit.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 300 hours.
    Estimated Average Burden Per Respondent: 10 minutes.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,800.
    Send comments and recommendations concerning any aspect of the 
information collection to VA's OMB Desk Officer, Allison Eydt, OMB 
Human Resources and Housing Branch, New Executive Office Building, Room 
10235, Washington, DC 20503 (202) 395-4650. Please refer to ``OMB

    By direction of the Acting Secretary.
