SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As 

required by the Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–13) as 

amended (44 U.S.C. chapter 35), OPM is 

soliciting comments for this collection 

(OMB No. 3206–0194). OPM is 

particularly interested in comments 

that: 

1. Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of functions 

of the agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

2. Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

3. Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

4. Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submissions 

of responses. 

Background 

The Questionnaire for Public Trust 

Positions, SF 85P and Supplemental 

Questionnaire for Selected Positions, SF 

85P–S, are information collections 

completed by applicants for, or 

incumbents of, Federal Government 

civilian positions, or positions in 

private entities performing work for the 

Federal Government under contract (SF 

85P only). The collections are used as 

the basis of information for background 

investigations to establish that such 

persons are: 

Suitable for employment or retention 

in Federal employment in a public trust 

position or fit for employment or 

retention in Federal employment in the 

excepted service when the duties to be 

performed are equivalent in degree of 

trust reposed in the incumbent to a 

public trust position; 

Fit to perform work on behalf of the 

Federal Government pursuant to the 

Government contract, when the duties 

to be performed are equivalent in degree 

of trust reposed in the individual to a 

public trust position; 

Eligible for physical and logical 

access to federally controlled facilities 

or information systems, when the duties 

to be performed by the individual are 

equivalent to the duties performed by an 

employee in a public trust position. 

For applicants, the SF 85P and SF 

85P–S are to be used only after a 

conditional offer of employment has 

been made. The SF 85P–S is 

supplemental to the SF 85P and is used 

only as approved by OPM, for certain 

positions such as those requiring 

carrying of a firearm. eApp (Electronic 

Application) is a web-based system 

application that houses the SF 85P and 

SF 85P–S. A variable in assessing 

burden hours is the nature of the 

electronic application. The electronic 

application includes branching 

questions and instructions which 

provide for a tailored collection from 

the respondent based on varying factors 

in the respondent’s personal history. 

The burden on the respondent is 

reduced when the respondent’s personal 

history is not relevant to a particular 

question. The question branches, or 

expands for additional details, only for 

those persons who have pertinent 

information to provide regarding that 

line of questioning. Accordingly, the 

burden on the respondent will vary 

depending on whether the respondent’s 

personal history relates to the 

information collection. 

OPM recommends renewal of the 

form without any proposed changes.

investment managers to report, on a 

monthly basis on new Form SHO, 

certain prescribed short position data

securities. The Commission is not 

adopting the proposed amendment to 

the CAT NMS Plan that would have 

required the reporting to the 

Consolidated Audit Trail of ‘‘buy to 

cover’’ order marking. The Commission 

is adopting an amendment to the CAT
