SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Written 

comments and suggestions from the 

public and affected agencies concerning 

the proposed collection of information 

are encouraged. Your comments should 

address one or more of the following 

four points: 

—Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the Bureau of Justice 

Statistics, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

—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; 

—Evaluate whether and if so how the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected can be 

enhanced; and 

—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 submission of 

responses. 

Abstract: This form will primarily be 

used to collect applicant reference 

information. Reference checking is an 

objective evaluation of an applicant’s 

past job performance based on 

information collected from key 

individuals (e.g., supervisors, peers, 

subordinates) who have now and 

worked with the applicant. Reference 

checking is a necessary supplement to 

the evaluation of resumes and other 

descriptions of training and experience, 

and allows the selecting official to hire 

applicants with a strong history of 

performance. The questions on this form 

have been developed following the 

OPM, MSPB, and DOJ ‘‘Best Practice’’ 

guidelines for reference checking.
