                     Applicant Background Survey—OMB No. 0990-0208- Extension- Assistant Secretary for Administration and Management. *Abstract:*
                     The Applicant Background Survey form will be used for the next three years by the Operating Divisions (OPDIVs). The major sub-organizations within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), will collect and analyze data on race, sex, national origin, and disability from applicants for employment. Information will be collected by each of the personnel offices in the Department. The form will be used routinely by the OPDIVs when recruiting for all positions, including senior level positions and for selected job series where workforce analysis has shown evidence of low representation of minorities, women, or persons with disabilities. The results of the collection will assist the Department to determine if present recruitment sources yield qualified minority and female applicants and applicants with disabilities as required by EEOC MD 715.
