Abstract of Proposed Collection 

The DS–1950 has been the form used 

by individuals to apply for certain 

excepted jobs at the Department of State 

such as Foreign Service specialist 

positions. We wish to continue to use 

this form to clarify interpretation of 

applicant responses and how applicants 

become aware of our program 

opportunities. Section 1104 of title 5, 

United States Code, authorizes OPM to 

delegate the authority to collect 

necessary employment information to 

other agencies, including the 

Department of State. With respect to 

Foreign Service Specialist applicants, 

authority is given under 22 U.S.C. 3926 

and 3941. 

Methodology 

The DS–1950 form will be used by 

applicants for certain service jobs at the 

Department of State, such as Foreign 

Service Specialist and Generalist 

positions. We are in the process of 

transitioning the final programs onto the 

USAJobs.gov platform and expect no 

more than 60 applicants to utilize the 

DS–1950 this year. Although we are 

encouraging all programs to use 

USAJobs.gov, we wish to extend the 

form to ensure we are not in violation 

under the Paper Reduction Act (PRA) 

during the transitioning period. Data, 

which is extracted from the form, is 

necessary to determine qualifications, 

salary, and selections, in accordance 

with Federal policies.
