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. USA Staffing is OPM's talent acquisition solution. 
Federal agencies use USA Staffing to onboard candidates for Federal 
positions while complying with appropriate rules and procedures. 
Federal agencies purchase the services of USA Staffing through an 
Interagency Agreement (IAA) under the provisions of the Revolving Fund, 
5 U.S.C. 1304 (e) (1), which permits OPM to perform human resources 
management services for Federal agencies on a cost-recovery basis.
    USA Staffing's public facing web page for new hires provides a 
single interface to submit data and forms required during the Federal 
onboarding process. New Hires are individuals selected for Federal 
employment but who have not yet entered on duty and authenticate at USA 
Staffing using their USAJOBS.gov accounts. USA Staffing captures the 
essential information Federal agencies require to onboard applicants 
for Federal jobs under the authority of sections 1104, 1302, 3301-3320, 
3361, 3393, and 3394 of Title 5 United States Code. This information 
includes questions related to selectee background, biographic, contact, 
employee benefits enrollment, employment history, and payroll 
information. Responses to these questions address required suitability 
and background investigation requirements, and also facilitate timely 
and efficient entry on duty. This revision proposes to renew a 
currently approved collection. Therefore, we invite 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.
