    This OMB number is being requested to support recruitment and

    LNSS consists of the Local National Recruitment System (LNRS) and 
the Europe Summer Hire Application (ESH).
    AE Form 690-70A is the application form that employment respondents 
must complete to be considered for positions in Germany. The form is 
written in both English and German. The completed form is stored as a 
record of the respondent's personal information, education, employment 
history, military history, and availability, as well as a list of 
applicable language(s) and other skills. If this form is not submitted, 
the respondent will not be eligible for employment positions through 
LNSS. Personally Identifiable Information (PII) on the AE Form 690-70A 
is entered into the LNSS system by the Administration Assistant.
    Local National Recruitment System (LNRS) is a component of Local 
National Staffing Suite (LNSS). LNRS was developed to automate German 
Local National (LN) recruitment processes for United States Army Europe 
(USAREUR). The application supports the Army Civilian Personnel 
Operations Center (CPOC) and services Civilian Personnel Advisory 
Centers (CPACs) in Europe. The application is primarily used to 
automate local national recruitment processes for USAREUR including 
Priority Placement, Reduction In Force, and Referrals, while taking 
into account the Local National Tariff Agreements. LNRS is accessible 
at the following URL: https://acpol2.army.mil/lnrs.
    Europe Summer Hire Application (ESH) is a component of Local 
National Staffing Suite (LNSS). ESH is a Web-based government developed 
Linux application accessible at https://acpol2.army.mil/sh/staffing/summerhire. ESH allows the accumulation of resume data for summer 
hiring of German local nationals to work in and support the Army 
USAREUR civilian personnel community. ESH is designed to contain and 
rank resumes of local nationals in USAREUR area to work in and support 
the Army civilian personnel community and to allow the HR Specialist to 
review the resume information. ESH consists of a Linux web/application 
server using Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) and a Linux 
database server using Oracle.
    Korean National Recruitment System (KNRS) respondents are 
employment applicants. KNRS was developed to provide immediate and 
accurate status/response to applicants via a Web-based interface. KNRS 
provides customers with a timely and more reliable customer service 
system. It also eliminates the long wait periods when recruiting Korean 
National (KN) employees to support the Army's FN mission. Respondents 
(applicants) enter their own employment application information 
directly into the electronic form in the system. The electronic form is 
a record of the respondent's personal information, education, 
employment history, military history, and other qualifications and 
skills. If this electronic form is not submitted, the respondent will 
not be eligible for the KN employment position. KNRS is accessible at 
the following URL: https://lr.acpol.army.mil/knrs/selfservice.
