OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request for Reclearance of an 
Expiring Information Collection: OMB Control No. 3206-0106; Form INV 
10, ``Mail Reinterview Form''

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 U.S. Office of Personnel 
Management (OPM) has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) a request for re-clearance of an expiring information collection, 
Mail Reinterview Form (INV 10), OMB Control No. 3206-0106. OPM sends 
the INV 10 questionnaire to a random sampling of record and personal 
sources contacted during background investigations when investigators 
have performed fieldwork. The INV 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.
    It is estimated that 114,000 INV 10 forms are sent to individual 
sources annually. Of those, it is estimated that 50,000 individuals 
respond. We anticipate sending and receiving a similar number of INV 10 
forms in the years ahead. Each form takes approximately six minutes to 
complete. The estimated annual burden is 5,000 hours.
    We received no comments as a result of the 60-day Federal Register 
Notice, published in the Federal Register on June 19, 2008. Therefore, 
we determined that this collection of information continues to be 
necessary for the proper performance of functions of the U.S. Office of 
Personnel Management and its Federal Investigative Services Division, 
which administers its background investigations. Further, we maintain 
that our estimate of the public burden of this collection is accurate, 
based on valid assumptions and methodology. The existing reinterview 
questionnaire addresses all of the questions relevant to ensure the 
accuracy and integrity of the investigative product at this time.
