particularly interested in comments that:
    1. Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility;
    2. Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of

    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.
    OPM 1655, Application for Senior Administrative Law Judge, and OPM 
1655-A, Geographic Preference Statement for Senior Administrative Law 
Judge Applicant, are used by retired Administrative Law Judges seeking 
reemployment on a temporary and intermittent basis to complete hearings 
of one or more specified case(s) in accordance with the Administrative 
Procedure Act of 1946. OPM proposes to revise the information 
collection to more clearly state, in the form instructions, the 
licensure requirement for appointment as an ALJ; to eliminate an 
obsolete reference to the OF 612, Optional Application for Federal 
Employment, which OPM canceled on June 13, 2011, see 76 FR 31998; to 
reference a full list of the Privacy Act routine uses applicable to 
this information collection; to update geographic locations; and to 
make technical changes to citations and terminology.
