NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD


Proposed Information Collection; Comment Request

AGENCY: National Labor Relations Board.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), Office of the 
General Counsel, in accordance with section 3506(C)(2)(A) of the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, plans to request approval for the use 
of NLRB Form 4560, Supplemental Statement Application for Professional 
Position in the Office of the General Counsel. Using this form will 
substantially reduce the number of hours currently expended to review 
applications received for the positions of attorneys and field 
examiners in the office of the General Counsel.
    Currently, applications are received in various forms, e.g., SF-
171, SF-612, and resumes.
    As a result, required information is not easily obtained and 
requested information necessary to the Agency's review may be missing 
altogether. By providing a standard format, all information necessary 
to the Agency's review would be addressed and in a consistent format 
that would facilitate and streamline that review.
    Application forms, such as the SF-171 and SF-612, and resumes do 
not address a very important question that is included on the 
Supplemental Statement. Specifically, information concerning a 
candidate that would create an actual or apparent conflict of interest 
for assignment to a particular office because of a family and/or 
personal relationship with someone outside the NLRB who regularly does 
business with that particular NLRB office.
    Receiving this information as part of the application package would 
prevent assignments to offices where these situations may exist.

DATES: Comments should be received on or before August 26, 2003.

ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations on the information 
collection should be sent to the National Labor Relations Board, 
Library and Administrative Services Branch, 1099 14th Street, NW., 
Washington, DC 20570-0001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tommie Gregg, Sr., Records Management 
and Anthony Wonkovich, Human Resources, at address shown above; by 
telephone at (202) 273-2833, (202) 237-3982; or by facsimile at (202) 
273-4286.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Comment is requested on: (a) Whether the 
proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper 
performance of the functions of the Agency, including, whether the 
information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 
Agency's estimate of the burden of the information collection; (c) ways 
to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be 
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the information 
collection on respondents, including through the use of automated 
collection techniques or other forms of information technology.

    Dated: June 23, 2003.

    By direction of the Board.
Lester A. Heltzer,
Executive Secretary, National Labor Relations Board.
