    Proposed Project: Request for Applicant Background Survey--OMB No. 
Extension-0990-0208 Assistant Secretary for Administration and 
Management.
    Abstract:
    The Applicant Background Survey form will be used for the next 
three years by the Operating Divisions (OPDIVs). The major sub-
organizations within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), 
will collect and analyze data on race, sex, national origin, and 
disability from applicants for employment. Information will be 
collected by each of the personnel offices in the Department. The form 
will be used routinely by the OPDIVs when recruiting for all positions, 
including senior level positions and for selected job series where 
workforce analysis has shown evidence of low representation of 
minorities, women, or persons with disabilities. The results of the 
collection will assist the Department to determine if present 
recruitment sources yield qualified minority and female applicants and 
applicants with disabilities as required by EEOC MD 715.
