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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Declaration for Federal Employment 
Optional Form (OF) 306 is completed by applicants who are under 
consideration for Federal or Federal contract employment. It collects 
information about an applicant's selective service registration, 
military service, and general background. The information collected on 
this form is mainly used to determine a person's acceptability for 
Federal and Federal contract employment, and his or her retirement 
status and life insurance enrollment. However, if necessary, and 
usually in conjunction with another form or forms, the information on 
this form may be used in conducting an investigation to determine a 
person's suitability or ability to hold a security clearance, and it 
may be disclosed to authorized officials making similar, subsequent 
determinations.
    The OF 306 requests that the applicant provide personal identifying 
data, including past convictions, imprisonments, probations, paroles or 
military court martial, delinquency on a Federal debt, Selective 
Service Registration, United States military service, Federal civilian 
or military retirement benefits received or applied for, and life 
insurance enrollment. It is estimated that 265,385 individuals will 
respond annually. Each form takes approximately 15 minutes to complete. 
The annual estimated burden is 66,346 hours.
    OPM proposes no changes to the OF 306.

U.S. Office of Personnel Management.

Director.
