BILLING CODE 7590–01–P 

OFFICE OF SPECIAL COUNSEL 

Agency Information Collection 

Activities; Request for Comment 

AGENCY: Office of Special Counsel. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. Chapter 35), and implementing 

regulations at 5 CFR part 1320, the U.S. 

Office of Special Counsel (OSC), plans 

to request approval from the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for use 

of a previously approved information 

collection consisting of a customer 

survey form. 

OSC is required by law to conduct an 

annual survey of those who seek its 

assistance. The information collection is 

used to carry out that mandate. The 

current OMB approval for this 

collection of information expired on 

March 31, 2009. Current and former 

Federal employees, employee 

representatives, other Federal agencies, 

state and local government employees, 

and the general public are invited to 

comment on this information collection 

for the second time. 

Comments are invited on: 

(a) whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of OSC functions, 

including whether the information will 

have practical utility; 

(b) the accuracy of OSC’s estimate of 

the burden of the proposed collections 

of information; 

(c) ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; and 

(d) ways to minimize the burden of 

the collection of information on 

respondents, including through the use 

of automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

DATES: Comments should be received by 

March 22, 2010. 

ADDRESSES: Roderick Anderson, CFO, 

U.S. Office of Special Counsel, 1730 M 

Street, N.W., Suite 218, Washington, DC 

20036–4505. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Roderick Anderson, Chief Financial 

Officer, at the address shown above; by 

facsimile at (202) 254-3715. The survey 

form for the collection of information is 

available for review by calling OSC, or 

on OSC’s Web site, at http:// 

www.osc.gov/readingroom.htm. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OSC is an 

independent agency responsible for, 

among other things, (1) investigation of 

allegations of prohibited personnel 

practices defined by law at 5 U.S.C. 

2302(b), protection of whistleblowers, 

and certain other illegal employment 

practices under titles 5 and 38 of the 

U.S. Code, affecting current or former 

Federal employees or applicants for 

employment, and covered state and 

local government employees; and (2) the 

interpretation and enforcement of Hatch 

Act provisions on political activity in 

chapters 15 and 73 of title 5 of the U.S. 

Code. OSC is required to conduct an 

annual survey of individuals who seek 

its assistance. Section 13 of Public Law 

103-424 (1994), codified at 5 U.S.C. 

1212 note, states, in part: ‘‘[T]he survey 

shall--(1) determine if the individual 

seeking assistance was fully apprised of 

their rights; (2) determine whether the 

individual was successful either at the 

Office of Special Counsel or the Merit 

Systems Protection Board; and (3) 

determine if the individual, whether 

successful or not, was satisfied with the 

treatment received from the Office of 

Special Counsel.’’ The same section also 

provides that survey results are to be 

published in OSC’s annual report to 

Congress. Copies of prior years’ annual 

reports are available on OSC’s Web site, 

at http://www.osc.gov/ 

RRlAnnualReportsToCongress.htm or 

by calling OSC at (202) 254-3600. 

OSC has enhanced the effectiveness of 

this survey by having revised the 

questions asked, and continues to use 

the online survey, due to its 

effectiveness in reducing response time.
