OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT


Proposed Collection; Comment Request for a Revised Information 
Collection Mail Reinterview Form (OFI 10), OMB No. 3206-0106

AGENCY: Office of Personnel Management.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. 
L. 104-13), this notice announces that the Office of Personnel 
Management intends to submit to the Office of Management and Budget a 
request for clearance of a revised information collection. OPM sends 
the OFI 10 questionnaire to a random sampling of record and personal 
sources contacted during background investigations when investigators 
have performed fieldwork. The OFI 10 is used as a quality control 
instrument designed to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the 
investigative product, as it inquires of the sources about the 
investigative procedure employed by the investigator,

the investigator's professionalism, and the information discussed and 
reported. In addition to the pre-formatted response options, OPM 
invites the recipients to respond with any other relevant comments or 
suggestions. A postage-paid envelope is provided with the OFI 10.
    Comments are particularly invited on:
     Whether this collection of information is necessary for 
the proper performance of functions of the Office of Personnel 
Management and its Center for Federal Investigative Services, which 
administers its background investigations.
     Whether our estimate of the public burden of this 
collection is accurate, and based on valid assumptions and methodology; 
and,
     Ways in which we can minimize the burden of the collection 
of information on those who are asked to respond, through the use of 
the appropriate technological collection techniques or other forms of 
information technology; and,
     Whether the reinterview questionnaire addresses all of the 
questions relevant to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the 
investigative product.
    It is estimated that 9,600 OFI 10 forms are sent to individual 
sources annually. Of those, it is estimated that 5,600 individuals will 
respond. Each form takes approximately six minutes to complete. The 
estimated annual burden is 560 hours.
