OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request for an Expiring 
Information Collection: SF-15

AGENCY: Office of Personnel Management.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Public 
Law 104-13, May 22, 1995), this notice announces that the Office of 
Personnel Management (OPM) has submitted to the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) a request for the continued use of Standard Form 15 
(SF-15). SF 15, Application for 10-Point Veteran Preference, is used by 
agencies, OPM examining offices and agency appointing officials to 
adjudicate individuals' claims for veterans' preference in accordance 
with the Veterans' Preference Act of 1944.
    According to the General Services Administration, 45,000 SF-15s 
were completed last year. Each form requires approximately 10 minutes 
to complete. The annual estimated burden is 7,497 hours.
    We are asking OMB to approve the continuation of the current SF-15. 
In the 60 day notice published July 19, 2002, we announced our proposal 
to revise the SF-15 and we invited
