ACTION: 30-Day notice and request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) intends to submit to 
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request for review of a 
currently approved collection, Program Services Evaluation Surveys, as 
a Generic Collection. Approval of the Program Services Evaluation 
Surveys is necessary to collect information on Federal agency and 
program performance, climate, engagement, leadership effectiveness, and 
give OPM the ability to customize each survey based on client 
requirements.

DATES: Comments are encouraged and will be accepted until May 31, 2022.

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are invited to submit written comments on 
the proposed information collection. You may submit comments, 
identified by docket number and/or Regulatory Information Number (RIN) 
and title via the Federal Rulemaking Portal: http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the instructions for submitting comments. 
The general policy for comments and other submissions from members of 
the public is to make these submissions available for public viewing at 
http://www.regulations.gov as they are received without change, 
including any personal identifiers or contact information.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION, CONTACT: A copy of this information collection 
request, with applicable supporting documentation, may be obtained by 
contacting Human Resources Solutions/HR Strategy and Evaluation 
Solutions, Office of Personnel Management, 1900 E Street NW, 
Washington, DC 20415, Attention: Bernard J. Nickels, Ph.D., or via 
email to [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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), OPM is soliciting comments for 
this collection. The information collection was previous published in 
the Federal Register on February 15, 2022, at 87 FR 8618 allowing for a 
60-day public comment period. No comments were received for this 
information collection (OMB No. 3206-0252). The purpose of this notice 
is to allow an additional 30-days for public comments. Comments are 
particularly invited on:
    1. 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. Whether our estimate of the public burden of this collection is 
accurate, and based on valid assumptions and methodology; and
    3. Ways in which we can minimize the burden of the collection of 
information on those who are to respond, through the use of the 
appropriate technological collection techniques or other forms of 
information technology.
    OPM's Human Resources Strategy and Evaluation Solutions performs 
assessment and related consultation activities for Federal agencies on 
a reimbursable basis. The assessments are authorized by various 
statutes and regulations: Section 4702 of Title 5, U.S.C.; E.O. 12862; 
E.O. 13715; Section 1128 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2004, Public Law 108-136; 5 U.S.C. 1101 note, 1103(a)(5), 
1104, 1302, 3301, 3302, 4702, 7701 note; E.O. 13197, 66 FR 7853, 3 CFR 
748 (2002); E.O. 10577, 12 FR 1259, 3 CFR, 1954-1958 Comp., p. 218; and 
Section 4703 of Title 5, United States Code.
    This collection request includes surveys we currently use and plan 
to use during the next three years to measure agency performance, 
climate, engagement, and leadership effectiveness. OMB No. 3206-0252 
covers a broad range of surveys all focused on improving organizational 
performance. Non-Federal respondents will almost never receive more 
than one of these surveys. All of these surveys consist of Likert-type, 
mark-one, and mark-all-that-apply items, and may include a small number 
of open-ended comment items. The surveys included under OMB No. 3206-
0252 are almost always administered electronically.
