SUMMARY: The U.S. Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) is requesting a 
three year renewal of OMB clearance of its soon to expire Generic

12862 ``Setting Customer Service Standards'' from the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) under section 3506 of the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995, OMB Control Number: 3124-0012.

burden. The reporting burden for the collection of information on this 
request is estimated to vary from 5 minutes to 30 minutes per response,

instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and 
maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the 
collection of information.
