AGENCY: U.S. Office of Personnel Management.

ACTION: 60-Day Notice and request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: Federal Investigative Services (FIS), U.S. Office of Personnel 
Management (OPM) is notifying the general public and other Federal 
agencies that OPM is seeking Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
approval for renewal of information collection control number 3206-
0259, Freedom of Information/Privacy Act Record Request Form, INV 100. 
OPM is soliciting comments for this collection 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). The Office 
of Management and Budget is 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 
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 March 21, 
2016. This process is conducted in accordance with 5 CFR 1320.8(d).

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are invited to submit written comments on 
the proposed information collection to the Federal Investigative 
Services, U.S. Office of Personnel Management, 1900 E Street NW., 
Washington, DC 20415, Attention: Donna McLeod or by electronic mail at 
[email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: A copy of this information collection, 
with applicable supporting documentation, may be obtained by contacting 
Federal Investigative Services, U.S. Office of Personnel Management, 
1900 E Street NW., Washington, DC 20415, Attention: Donna McLeod or by 
electronic mail at [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Freedom of Information/Privacy Act 
Record Request Form, INV 100, is an information collection completed by 
individuals submitting Freedom of Information (FOIA), Privacy Act, and 
Amendment record requests to OPM's Federal Investigative Services 
(FIS), Freedom of Information and Privacy Act (FOI/PA) office. OPM's 
FIS-FOI/PA office utilizes the optional form INV 100 to standardize 
collection of data elements specific to the types of record requests. 
Current record requests can be submitted to FIS-FOI/PA in a format 
chosen by the requester. Often, requests are missing data elements 
which require contact with the requester, thereby adding time to the 
process. Standardization of the data elements collected can assist with 
enabling FIS-FOI/PA to fulfill FOIA, Privacy Act, and Amendment 
requests in an efficient manner.

    OPM proposes no changes to the form.
