    The Department of Commerce will submit the following information 
collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for 
review and clearance in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995, on or after the date of publication of this notice. We invite the 
general public and other Federal agencies to comment on proposed, and 
continuing information collections, which helps us assess the impact of 
our information collection requirements and minimize the public's

Federal Register on September 22, 2022, during a 60-day comment period.

    Number of Respondents: Examiner Performance Assessment--30 per 
year; Team Leader Performance Assessment--300 per year.
    Average Hours per Response: Examiner Performance Assessment--20 
minutes; Team Leader Performance Assessment--5 minutes.
    Burden Hours: Examiner Performance Assessment--10 hours; Team 
Leader Performance Assessment--25 hours.
    Needs and Uses: The purpose of the information is to help staff 
collect data on the skills of the examiners, including alumni 
examiners, in order to best manage training and selection. Because the 
examiner selection is so competitive, examiners need to demonstrate 
competencies such as understanding the Baldrige Criteria, team skills, 
and writing skills. The program also needs to collect peer-based 
information to understand an examiner's skill level in order to make 
decisions on whether the examiner should be elevated to ``senior 
examiner'' and therefore team leader. The blinded data will be shared 
with the team leader for improvement purposes, and for future 
assignments.
    Affected Public: Individual or Households.
    Frequency: Annually.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    This information collection request may be viewed at reginfo.gov. 
Follow the instructions to view Department of Commerce collections

    Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information 
collection should be submitted within 30 days of the publication of 
this notice on the following website www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. 
Find this particular information collection by selecting ``Currently 
under 30-day Review--Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search 
function and entering the title of the collection.
