OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT

[OMB No. 3206-0150]


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request for Revision of an 
Expiring Information Collection: Fingerprint Chart Standard Form 87 
(SF-87) and Standard Form 87A (SF-87A)

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 (OPM) has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) a request for revision of an expiring information collection 
(Fingerprint Charts SF-87 and SF-87A; OMB No. 3206-0150). The 
Fingerprint Charts are used in processing fingerprint checks submitted 
to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to assist in determining 
whether an applicant is suitable for Federal employment or should be 
granted a security clearance.
    The SF-87 and SF-87A are completed by applicants to, or incumbents 
of, Government positions, positions for the Government under contract, 
or by military personnel as a basis of any criminal history check to 
establish that such persons are suitable for employment or retention in 
employment, or employment or retention as a contractor.
    It is estimated that 363,500 SF-87 or SF-87A inquiries are sent to 
individuals annually. Each form takes approximately five minutes to 
complete. The estimated annual burden is approximately 28,630 hours.
    The Privacy Act and Public Burden language was updated to reference 
the applicable executive order and reflect the correct title of the 
forms officer for OPM, respectively.
