NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

AGENCY: National Labor Relations Board.

ACTION: Notice.

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

    The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has submitted to OMB for 
clearance, the following proposal for collection of information under 
provisions of section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995.
    Title and Form Number: Supplemental Statement Application for 
Professional Position in the Office of the General Counsel; NLRB 4560.
    Type of Request: New Collection.
    Number of Respondents: 500.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 500.
    Average Burden per Response: .5 Hours.
    Annual Burden Hours: 250 Hours.
    Needs and Uses: This requirement provides the collection of 
information from applicants applying for professional positions within 
the Office of the General Counsel. NLRB will use the information as a 
standard format that 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.
    Affected Public: Individuals or Households.

SUMMARY: The notice is being republished to provide an additional (30) 
day comment period. The original notice was published on June 27, 2003 
(3 FR 16303).
    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, OF-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 OF-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 January 30, 2004.

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: December 22, 2003.

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