comments. 

SUMMARY: 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 revise a currently approved 

information collection. The information 

collected is used to evaluate the 

qualifications of applicants for a variety 

of positions within the FAA. The FAA 

seeks to remove a duplicative 

questionnaire.

submitted March 14, 2016. 

ADDRESSES: Send comments to the FAA 

at the following address: Ronda 

Thompson, Room 441, Federal Aviation

Plaza SW., Washington, DC 20024. 

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 2120–0597. 

Title: Application for Employment 

with the Federal Aviation 

Administration. 

Form Numbers: There are no FAA 

forms associated with this collection. 

Information is collected via the Office of 

Personnel Management (OPM) online 

USAJOBS system and the FAA’s 

Automated Vacancy Information Access 

Tool for Online Referral (AVIATOR) 

staffing tool. 

Type of Review: Revision 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. 

The agency requests certain information 

needed to determine basic eligibility for 

employment and potential eligibility for 

veteran’s preference and Veteran’s 

Readjustment Act appointments. In 

addition, occupation specific questions 

assist us in determining candidates’ 

qualifications so that we may hire only 

the best-qualified candidates for our 

many aviation safety-related 

occupations. The FAA seeks to remove 

the ‘‘How did you hear about this job’’ 

questionnaire since the questionnaire is 

being added to OPMs online USAJOBS 

system. 

Respondents: Approximately 118,000 

annually. 

Frequency: Information is collected 

on occasion. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Response: 1.5 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 

177,000 hours.

qualification and training, and training 

program approvals. 

DATES: Written comments should be 

submitted by March 11, 2016. 

ADDRESSES: Send comments to the FAA
