Comment Request

AGENCY: National Archives and Records

Administration (NARA).

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: NARA is giving public notice

that the agency proposes to request use

of NA Form 3035, Applicant

Background Survey, to obtain source of

recruitment, ethnicity, race, and

disability data on job applicants. The

information will be used to determine if

the recruitment is effectively reaching

all aspects of the relevant labor pool.

The information will also be used to

determine if there are proportinate

acceptance rates at various stages of the

recruitment process. The public is

invited to comment on the proposed

information collection pursuant to the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1955.

DATES: Written comments must be

received on or before July 31, 2000 to be

assured of consideration.

ADDRESSES: Comments shoulod be sent

to: Paperwork Reduction Act Comments

(NHP), Room 3200, National Archives

and Records Administration, 8601

Adelphi Rd, College Park, MD 20740–

6001; or faxed to 301–713–6913; or

electronically mailed to

tamee.fechhelm@arch2.nara.gov.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Requests for additional information or

copies of the proposed information

collection and supporting statement

should be directed to Tamee Fechhelm

at telephone number 301–713–6730, or

fax number 301–713–6913.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant

to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

(Public Law 104–13), NARA invites the

general public and other Federal

agencies to comment on proposed

information collections. The comments

and suggestions should address one or

more of the following points: (a)

Whether the proposed information

collection is necessary for the proper

performance of the functions of NARA;

(b) the accuracy of NARA’s estimate of

the burden of the proposed information

collection; (c) ways to enhance the

quality, utility, and clarity of the

information to be collected; and (d)

ways, including the use of information

technology, to minimize the burden of

the collection of information on

respondents. The comments that are

submitted will be summarized and

included in the NARA request for Office

of Management and Budget (OMB)

approval. All comments will become a

matter of public record. In this notice,

NARA is soliciting comments

concerning the following information

collection:

Title: Applicant Background Survey.

OMB number: 3095–NEW.

Agency form number: NA Form 3035.

Type of review: Regular.

Affected public: Applicants for NARA

jobs.

Estimated number of respondents:

16,600.

Estimated time per response: 5

minutes.

Frequency of response: On occasion

(when applicant wishes to apply for a

job at NARA).

Estimated total annual burden hours:

1,383 hours.

Abstract: NARA is below parity with

the relevant Civilian Labor force

representation for many of our missioncritical occupations, and has developed

a 10-year Strategic Plan to improve

representation and be more responsive

to the changing demographics of the

country. The only way to determine if

there are barriers in the recruitment and

selection process is to track the groups

that apply and the groups at each stage

of the selection process. There is no

other objective way to make these

determinations and no source of this

information other than directly from

applicants.

The information is not provided to

selecting officials and plays no part in

the selection of individuals. Instead, it

is used in summary form to determine

trends over many selections within a

given occupation or organizational area.

The information is treated in a very

confidential manner. No information

from this form is entered into the

Personnel File of the individual

selected, and the records of those not

selected are destroyed after the

conclusion of the selection process.

The format of the questions on

ethnicity and race are compliant with

the new OMB requirements and are

identical to those used in the year 2000

census. This form is a simplification

and update of a similar OPM applicant

background survey used by NARA for

many years.

This form is used to obtain source of

recruitment, ethnicity, race, and

disability data on job applicants to

determine if the recruitment is

effectively reaching all aspects of the

relevant labor pool and to determine if

there are proportionate acceptance rates

at various stages of the recruitment

process. Response is optional. The

information is used for evaluating

recruitment only, and plays no part in

the selection of who is hired.

Dated: May 23, 2000.

Assistant Archivist for Human Resources and

Information Services.
