approval of a form, NARA Employment Interest Questionnaire, NA Form 
3102. We invite you to comment on this proposed information collection.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995 (Pub. L. 104-13), we invite the public and other Federal agencies 
to comment on proposed information collections. If you have comments or 
suggestions, they should address one or more of the following points: 
(a) Whether the proposed information collection is necessary for NARA 
to properly perform its functions; (b) our estimate of the burden of 
the proposed information collection and its accuracy; (c) ways we could 
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information we 
collect; (d) ways we could minimize the burden on respondents of 
collecting the information, including through information technology; 
and (e) whether the collection affects small businesses.
    We will summarize any comments you submit and include the summary 
in our request for OMB approval. All comments will become a matter of 
public record.
    In this notice, we solicit comments concerning the following 
information collection:
    Title: Schedule A and Veterans Recruitment Initiative Information.
    OMB number: 3095-NEW.
    Agency form number: NA Form 3102, NARA Employment Interest 
Questionnaire.
    Type of review: Regular.
    Affected public: Individuals or households.
    Estimated number of respondents: 600.
    Estimated time per response: 5 minutes.
    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Estimated total annual burden hours: 50.
    Abstract: We are implementing a new recruitment initiative by which 
we work to connect people who are veterans or are Schedule A-eligible 
with non-competitive employment opportunities within our agency. The 
Special Program Placement Coordinator (SPPC) serves as a liaison 
between the applicant and NARA managers and supervisors to find viable 
employment opportunities for applicants.
    SPPC has developed a Resum[eacute] Repository (retained in a 
spreadsheet) to store resum[eacute]s of qualified individuals who may 
meet our hiring needs. The Repository helps our agency find highly 
motivated veterans and Schedule A candidates who are eager to 
demonstrate their abilities in the workplace through excepted service 
positions, which could become permanent positions after trial period 
requirements have been met.
    We collect the information for the Repository through an online 
form, NARA Employment Interest Questionnaire, NA Form 3102, which 
includes the following information for each individual: Applicant name, 
email address, phone number, types of positions applicant is interested 
in (may be multiple areas of interest), applicant's desired 
location(s), and minimum starting grade level applicant is willing to 
accept.
    We enter the collected information from the questionnaire into the 
Repository spreadsheet, which managers and supervisors can use to sort 
and filter by position(s) of interest and/or duty location. We include 
resum[eacute]s and cover letters as a link beside each candidate's 
entry so managers can view them and consider the candidate when looking 
for an employee. Managers have unlimited access to the Repository 
information and resum[eacute]s to select qualified applicants to fill 
vacancies through a direct, non-competitive hire.
    The Schedule A and veterans recruitment questionnaire link will be 
listed in our agency's information on the OPM website, in information 
provided by other agencies and organizations with similar programs, and 
on various pages of our agency's website at www.archives.gov.
    Candidates must be U.S. citizens, eligible veterans, or be eligible 
under the Schedule A hiring authority.

Executive for Information Services/CIO.
