OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT


Submission for OMB Emergency Review: OPM Form SF 15, Application 
for 10-Point Veteran Preference, OMB No. 3206-0001

AGENCY: U.S. Office of Personnel Management

ACTION: Emergency clearance notice and request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. 
L. 104-13, May 22, 1995), this notice announces the Office of Personnel 
Management (OPM) submitted a request to the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) for emergency clearance and review for OPM Form SF 15, 
Application for 10-Point Veteran Preference. Emergency clearance is 
required as the current form approval expired October 31, 2016. OPM 
will publish a 60-notice requesting comments on proposed revisions to 
the SF 15 at a later date.
    The SF 15 is used by agencies, OPM examining offices, and agency 
appointing officials to adjudicate individuals' claims for veterans' 
preference in accordance with the Veterans' Preference Act of 1944.
    Public burden reporting for this collection of information is 
estimated to take approximately 10 minutes per response, including time 
for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering 
and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the 
collection of information.
    Comments are invited on:
     Whether this information is necessary for the proper 
performance of functions on the Office of Personnel Management, and 
whether it will have practical utility;
     whether our estimate of the public burden of this 
collection of information is accurate, and based on valid assumptions 
and methodology; and
     ways in which we can minimize the burden of the collection 
of information on those who are to respond, through the use of 
appropriate technological collection techniques or other forms of 
information technology.
    For copies of this proposal, contact CIO PRA Officer on (202) 606-
0125 or via email to [email protected]. Please include your complete 
mailing address with your request.

DATES: Comments on this proposal for emergency review should be 
received within December 15, 2016. We are requesting OMB to take action 
within 10 calendar days from the close of this Federal Register Notice 
on the request for emergency review.
