OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT


Proposed Collection; Comment Request for Clearance of a Revised 
Information Collection: Declaration for Federal Employment; Optional 
Form 306, OMB No. 3206-0182

AGENCY: Office of Personnel Management.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Public 
Law 104-13, May 22, 1995), this notice announces that the Office of 
Personnel Management (OPM) intends to submit a request to the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) for review of a revised information 
collection. The Optional Form (OF) 306, Declaration for Federal 
Employment, is completed by applicants who are under consideration for 
Federal or Federal contract employment.
    The OF 306 requests that the applicant provide personal identifying 
data, including, for example, general background information, 
information concerning retirement pay received or requested and 
information on Selective Service registration and military service. The 
revision is to make needed administrative updates.
    It is estimated that 474,000 individuals will respond annually. 
Each form takes approximately 15 minutes to complete. The annual 
estimated burden is 118,500 hours.
    Comments are particularly invited on:
     Whether this collection of information is necessary for 
the proper performance of functions of OPM and its Center for Federal 
Investigative Services, which administers background investigations;
     Whether our estimate of the public burden of this 
collection is accurate and based on valid assumptions and methodology;
     Ways in which we can minimize the burden of the collection 
of information on those who are to respond, through use of the 
appropriate technological collection techniques or other forms of 
information technology;
     Ways in which we can enhance the quality, utility and 
clarity of the information to be collected.
    For copies of this proposal, contact Mary Beth Smith-Toomey, OPM 
Forms Officer, at (202) 606-8358, FAX (202) 418-3251 or

request.
