OFFICE OF PERSONNEL

MANAGEMENT

Submission for OMB Review;

Comment and Request Form OPM–

1386B

AGENCY: Office of Personnel

Management.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: Under the provisions of the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44

U.S.C. 3506–3507), the Office of

Personnel Management is submitting to

the Office of Management and Budget

an emergency request to extend its

approval of form OPM–1386B,

Applicant Race and National Origin

Questionnaire. The form gathers

information concerning the race and

national origin of applicants for

employment under the Outstanding

Scholar provision of the Luevano

Consent Decree, 93 F.R.D. 68 (1981).

OPM originally published in the

Federal Register Notices of Intent to

continue form OPM–1386B on October

27, 1995, and February 21, 1996. The

process for continuation was not

completed in time, thus the request for

an emergency continuation.

Under the terms of 44 U.S.C. 3507, the

public is invited to comment on the

need for this information, its practical

utility, the accuracy of OPM’s burden

estimate, and on ways to minimize the

reporting burden.

DATES: Comments will be considered if

received on or before September 16,

1997.

ADDRESSES: Send or deliver written

comments to Mary Lou Lindholm,

Associate Director for Employment, U.S.

Office of Personnel Management, 1900 E

Street, NW., Room 6F08, Washington,

DC 20415, and Joseph Lackey, OPM

Desk Officer, Office of Information and

Regulatory Affairs, Office of

Management and Budget, New

Executive Office Building, NW., Room

10235, Washington, DC 20503.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For

copies of the form, and further

information, contact Christina Gonzales

Vay on 202–606–0830, FAX 202–606–

2329, or e-mail address

CMVAY@OPM.GOV.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Purpose of Form OPM–1386B

A Federal court decree, issued in 1981

and still binding, requires

recordkeeping on Federal employment

selection procedures, including race and

national origin (RNO) data, to determine

the ‘‘relative impact of the procedure

upon Blacks and upon Hispanics as

compared with non-Hispanic whites.’’

OPM and other agencies use form OPM–

1386B to collect the RNO data from

applicants being considered for

selection under the Outstanding Scholar

provision of the decree. Using the

standardized form makes it easier to

collect and consolidate the required

data for use by the Federal Government

and by the plaintiffs. OPM and agencies

do not need to use form OPM–1386B to

collect data on applicants being

considered through traditional

examining processes; court-required

data on those applicants are collected as

part of an application process not

required for Outstanding Scholars.

The form OPM–1386B is not

considered in the selection process, but

is used only to collect statistical data.

Annual Reporting Burden

Appoximately 100,000 forms will be

processed annually. The average

estimated response time is 5 minutes for

a total public burden of 8,333 hours.

Office of Personnel Management.

Janice R. Lachance,

Deputy Director.
