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

    OPM's Human Resources Strategy and Evaluation Solutions performs 
assessment and related consultation activities for Federal agencies on 
a reimbursable basis. The assessments are authorized by various 
statutes and regulations: Section 4702 of Title 5, U.S.C.; E.O. 12862; 
E.O. 13715; Section 1128 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2004, Public Law 108-136; 5 U.S.C. 1101 note, 1103(a)(5), 
1104, 1302, 3301, 3302, 4702, 7701 note; E.O. 13197, 66 FR 7853, 3 CFR 
748 (2002); E.O. 10577, 12 FR 1259, 3 CFR, 1954-1958 Comp., p. 218; and 
Section 4703 of Title 5, United States Code.
    This collection request includes surveys we currently use and plan 
to use during the next three years to measure Federal leaders' 
effectiveness. These surveys all measure leadership characteristics. 
Non-Federal respondents will almost never receive more than one of 
these surveys. All these surveys consist of Likert-type, mark-one, and 
mark-all-that-apply items, and may include a small number of open-ended 
comment items. OPM's Leadership 360<SUP>TM</SUP> assessment measures 
the 28 competencies that comprise the five Executive Core 
Qualifications and Fundamental Competencies in the OPM leadership 
model. The OPM Leadership 360<SUP>TM</SUP> consists of 116 items and is 
almost never customized, although customization to meet an agency's 
needs is possible. OPM's Leadership Potential Assessment consists of 
103 items focused on identifying individuals ready to move into 
supervisory positions. OPM's Personality Assessment for Leaders 
consists of 236 items that measure leadership personality 
characteristics within a ``Big 5'' framework. OPM's Leadership for 
Engagement and Leadership for Inclusion surveys consist of 140 items 
that measure 30 leadership behaviors and employees' perceptions of 
their work unit related to engagement and Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, 
and Accessibility (DEIA), respectively. The DEIA Pulse Survey consists 
of 50 items that provide leaders with information related to the 
demographics of their workforce, perceptions of the leader's policies, 
procedures, and practices related to DEIA, and attitudes toward working 
in the leader's organization. These assessments are almost always 
administered electronically.

Analysis

    Agency: Office of Personnel Management.
    Title: Leadership Assessment Surveys.
    OMB Number: 3206-0253.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Affected Public: Individuals.
    Number of Respondents: Approximately 8,300 annually, 24,900 over 3 
years.
    Estimated Time per Respondent: 15 minutes for the OPM Leadership 
360<SUP>TM</SUP> and Leadership Potential Assessment; 45 minutes for 
the OPM Personality Assessment for Leaders; 20 minutes for the 
Leadership for Engagement Survey and the Leadership for Inclusion 
Survey; and 10 minutes for the DEIA Pulse Survey. The OPM Personality 
Assessment for Leaders will almost never be administered to non-Federal

approximately 16 minutes.
    Total Burden Hours: 2,088 hours annually, 6,264 over 3 years.
