SUMMARY: This notice is a Correction to the notice published on May 14,
2019, due to invalid Form Number and omission of the website's URL.
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA invites
public comments about our intention to request the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) approval to renew an information collection. The
collection involves an automated application process for employment
with the Federal Aviation Administration by way of the Office of
Personnel Management's (OPM) USAJOBS website: www.usajobs.gov. The
Applicants begin the application process by building an account on
USAJOBS website and; thereafter, they are passed into the FAA Automated
Vacancy Information Access Tool for Online Referral (AVIATOR) to answer
specific questions related to FAA job vacancy of interest. This pass
through is a direct USAJOBS interface with AVIATOR and; hence, there is
no standalone link to be used by the applicants.
The information collected is necessary to determine basic
eligibility for employment and potential eligibility for Veteran's
Preference, Veteran's Readjustment Act, and People with Disability
appointments. In addition, there are specific occupation questions that
assist the FAA Office of Human Resource Management (AHR) in determining
candidates' qualifications in order that the best-qualified candidates
are hired for the many FAA occupations.
DATES: Written comments should be submitted by September 9, 2019.
ADDRESSES: Please send written comments:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of
this information collection, including (a) Whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary for FAA's performance; (b) the
accuracy of the estimated burden; (c) ways for FAA to enhance the
quality, utility and clarity of the information collection; and (d)
ways that the burden could be minimized without reducing the quality of
the collected information. The agency will summarize and/or include
your comments in the request for OMB's clearance of this information
collection.
OMB Control Number: 2120-0597.
Title: Application for Employment with the Federal Aviation
Administration.
Online website: www.usajobs.gov.
Type of Review: Renewal of an information collection.
Background: Under the provisions of Public Law 104-50, the Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) was given the authority and the
responsibility for developing and implementing its own personnel system
without regard to most of the provisions of Title 5, United States
Code, exceptions being those concerning veteran's preference and
various benefits.
The OPM developed a suite of forms for use in automated employment
processes: All under a single OMB approval. The FAA AHR has the same
OMB approval for its automated application for employment. By
automating processes for employment application and the evaluation of
candidates, AHR has markedly improved the service it provides to the
public as well as its ability to locate and hire the best-qualified
applicants. Lastly, via this process, applicants are provided on-line
results immediately upon submitting their application questionnaires.
The Agency is requesting certain information necessary to determine
basic eligibility for employment and potential eligibility for
Veteran's Preference, Veteran's Readjustment Act, and People with
Disability appointments. In addition, occupation specific questions
assist AHR in determining candidates' qualifications in order that the
best-qualified candidates are hired for the many FAA occupations. The
system currently in use for this collection is the Automated Vacancy
Information Access Tool for Online Referral (AVIATOR). This system
cannot be directly accessed. Applicants are transferred to the AVIATOR
system from OPM's USAJOBS website during the application process.
Respondents: Over 180,000 U.S. citizens identified as applicants
for employment with the Federal Aviation Administration.
Frequency: On occasion/as interested.
Estimated Average Burden per Response: 1 hour.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 180,000 hours.
Approximately 180,000 respondents will complete an application form
on as needed basis. Based on this sample size, it will take the average
applicant approximately 1 hour to read the instructions and complete
the form. The estimated total burden is 180,000 hours annually.
Issued in Washington, DC, on May 16, 2019.
