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

[[Page 55123]]

SUMMARY: The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) offers the general 
public and other Federal agencies the opportunity to comment on a 
revised information collection request (ICR) 3206-0219, USAJOBS. As 
required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, (Pub. L. 104-13, 44 
U.S.C. chapter 35) as amended by the Clinger-Cohen Act (Pub. L. 104-
106), OPM is soliciting comments for this collection. In particular, we 
invite comments that:
    1. Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of OPM, including 
whether the information will have practical utility;
    2. Evaluate the accuracy of the OPM's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used;
    3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
be collected; and
    4. Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those 
who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, 
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic 
submissions of responses.

DATES: Comments are encouraged and will be accepted until November 8, 
2013. This process is conducted in accordance with 5 CFR 1320.1.

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are invited to submit written comments on 
the proposed information collection to the U.S. Office of Personnel 
Management, Chief Information Officer, USAJOBS, 1900 E Street NW., 
Washington, DC 20415, Attention: John Still or send them by email to 
[email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: A copy of this ICR, with applicable 
supporting documentation, may be obtained by contacting the U.S. Office 
of Personnel Management, Chief Information Officer, USAJOBS, 1900 E 
Street NW., Washington, DC 20415, Attention: John Still, or by sending 
a request by email to [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: USAJOBS is the Federal Government's 
centralized source for most Federal jobs and employment information, 
including both positions that are required by law to be posted at that 
location and positions that can be posted there at an agency's 
discretion. The Applicant Profile and Resume Builder are two components 
of the USAJOBS application system. USAJOBS reflects the minimal 
critical elements collected across the Federal Government to assess an 
applicant's qualifications for Federal jobs under the authority of 
sections 1104, 1302, 3301, 3304, 3320, 3361, 3393, and 3394 of title 5, 
United States Code. This revision proposes to:
    (a) Acknowledge the newest revision to the USAJOBS 3.0 system as 
USAJOBS.
    (b) Make changes to the USAJOBS Applicant Profile to make the 
section more concise and easier for the applicant to understand and 
complete. Changes to the Applicant Profile include adding a new 
question on willingness to relocate. New fields will be added for 
telephone extensions and name prefixes and suffixes. The ``Current 
Goal'' field will be removed. In addition we will add and edit help 
language and make text, format and User Interface changes that will 
make the pages easier for applicants to navigate.
    (c) Make changes to the USAJOBS Resume Builder that will improve 
navigation, make the builder both concise and easier for the applicant 
to complete. Changes include adding check boxes that read, ``I do not 
wish to provide work experience,'' ``I do not wish to provide 
education,'' and ``References available upon request.'' We will also 
make text and user interface changes throughout the resume builder to 
make the pages easier for the applicant to navigate, understand, and 
complete. Pursuant to a separate submission, we recently modified the 
``Do you claim veterans' preference'' field to include a new option for 
0-point Sole Survivorship Preference, to replace ``wife'' with spouse 
in the option for derived preference, and to add mother to the option 
for derived preference. In addition, we modified the Document Upload 
section to instruct current service members how to claim veterans' 
preference under the VOW (Veterans Opportunity to Work) to Hire Heroes 
Act of 2011.
