SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Generic Clearance for the 

Collection of Qualitative Feedback on 

Agency Service Delivery. 

OMB Control Number: 0420–0545. 

Type of Request: Extension without 

change of a currently approved 

collection. 

Affected Public: Individuals. 

Respondents Obligation to Reply: 

Voluntary. 

Burden to the Public: 

Estimated burden (hours) of the 

collection of information: 

Average Expected Annual Number of 

Activities: 13. 

Annual Number of Respondents: 

85,917. 

Annual Responses: 85,917. 

Frequency of Response: Once per 

request. 

Average Minutes per Response: 26. 

Annual Burden Hours: 28,197. 

General Description of Collection: The 

proposed information collection activity 

provides a means to garner qualitative 

customer and stakeholder feedback in 

an efficient, timely manner, in 

accordance with the Administration’s 

commitment to improving service 

delivery. By qualitative feedback we 

mean information that provides useful 

insights on perceptions and opinions, 

but are not statistical surveys that yield 

quantitative results that can be 

generalized to the population of study. 

This feedback will provide insights into 

customer or stakeholder perceptions, 

experiences and expectations, provide 

an early warning of issues with service, 

or focus attention on areas where 

communication, training or changes in 

operations might improve delivery of 

products or services. These collections 

will allow for ongoing, collaborative and 

actionable communications between the 

Agency and its customers and 

stakeholders. It will also allow feedback 

to contribute directly to the 

improvement of program management. 

The solicitation of feedback will target 

areas such as: Timeliness, 

appropriateness, accuracy of 

information, courtesy, efficiency of 

service delivery, and resolution of 

issues with service delivery. Responses 

will be assessed to plan and inform 

efforts to improve or maintain the 

quality of service offered to the public. 

If this information is not collected, vital 

feedback from customers and 

stakeholders on Peace Corps’ services 

will be unavailable. 

Peace Corps will only submit a 

collection for approval under this 

generic clearance if it meets the 

following conditions: 

• The collections are voluntary; 

• The collections are low-burden for 

respondents (based on considerations of 

total burden hours, total number of 

respondents, or burden-hours per 

respondent) and are low-cost for both 

the respondents and the Federal 

Government; 

• The collections are noncontroversial and do not raise issues of 

concern to other Federal agencies; 

• Any collection is targeted to the 

solicitation of opinions from 

respondents who have experience with 

the program or may have experience 

with the program in the near future; 

• Personally identifiable information 

(PII) is collected only to the extent 

necessary and is not retained; 

• Information gathered will be used 

only internally for general service 

improvement and program management 

purposes and is not intended for release 

outside of the agency; 

• Information gathered will not be 

used for the purpose of substantially 

informing influential policy decisions; 

and 

• Information gathered will yield 

qualitative information; the collections 

will not be designed or expected to 

yield statistically reliable results or used 

as though the results are generalizable to 

the population of study. 

Feedback collected under this generic 

clearance provides useful information, 

but it does not yield data that can be 

generalized to the overall population.

This type of generic clearance for 

qualitative information will not be used 

for quantitative information collections 

that are designed to yield reliably 

actionable results, such as monitoring 

trends over time or documenting 

program performance. Such data uses 

require more rigorous designs that 

address: The target population to which 

generalizations will be made, the 

sampling frame, the sample design 

(including stratification and clustering), 

the precision requirements or power 

calculations that justify the proposed 

sample size, the expected response rate, 

methods for assessing potential nonresponse bias, the protocols for data 

collection, and any testing procedures 

that were or will be undertaken prior to 

fielding the study. Depending on the 

degree of influence the results are likely 

to have, such collections may still be 

eligible for submission for other generic 

mechanisms that are designed to yield 

quantitative results. 

As a general matter, information 

collections will not result in any new 

system of records containing privacy 

information and will not ask questions 

of a sensitive nature, such as sexual 

behavior and attitudes, religious beliefs, 

and other matters that are commonly 

considered private. 

Request for comment: Peace Corps 

invites comments on whether the 

proposed collections of information are 

necessary for proper performance of the 

functions of the Peace Corps, including 

whether the information will have 

practical use; the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the information 

to be collected; and, ways to minimize 

the burden of the collection of 

information on those who are to 

respond, including through the use of 

automated collection techniques, when 

appropriate, and other forms of 

information technology.

U.S. OFFICE OF PERSONNEL 

MANAGEMENT 

Notice of Submission for Approval: 

Questionnaire for Non-Sensitive 

Positions (SF 85) 

AGENCY: U.S. Office of Personnel 

Management. 

ACTION: 30-Day notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: The National Background 

Investigation Bureau (NBIB), U.S. Office 

of Personnel Management (OPM) is 

notifying the general public and other 

Federal agencies that OPM is seeking 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) approval of a revised information 

collection, Questionnaire for NonSensitive Positions (SF 85). 

DATES: Comments are encouraged and 

will be accepted until January 29, 2018. 

This process is conducted in accordance 

with 5 CFR 1320.10. 

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are 

invited to submit written comments on 

the proposed information collection to 

the Office of Information and Regulatory 

Affairs, Office of Management and 

Budget, 725 17th Street NW, 

Washington, DC 20503, Attention: Desk 

Officer for the Office of Personnel 

Management or sent via electronic mail 

to oira_submission@omb.eop.gov or 

faxed to (202) 395–6974. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: A 

copy of this information collection, with 

applicable supporting documentation, 

may be obtained by contacting U.S. 

Office of Personnel Management, NBIB, 

1900 E Street NW, Washington, DC 

20415, Attention: Donna McLeod or by 

electronic mail at FISFormsComments@

opm.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As 

required by the Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3507(a)(1), OPM 

is providing an additional 30 days for 

public comments. OPM previously 

solicited comments for this collection, 

with a 60-day public comment period, 

at 82 FR 29948 (June 30, 2017). 

This notice announces that OPM has 

submitted to OMB a request for review 

and clearance of a revised information 

collection, OMB number 3206–0261, 

Questionnaire for Non-Sensitive 

Positions (SF 85). The public has an 

additional 30-day opportunity to 

comment. 

The SF 85 is completed by applicants 

for, or incumbents of, Federal 

Government civilian positions, or 

positions in private entities performing 

work for the Federal Government under 

contract. For applicants, the SF 85 is to 

be used only after a conditional offer of 

employment has been made, unless 

OPM has granted an exception to the 

agency to permit questioning for certain 

positions earlier. e-QIP (Electronic 

Questionnaires for Investigations 

Processing) is a web-based system 

application that houses the SF 85. 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 

particular question, since 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 information collection 

relates to the respondent’s personal 

history. 

The 60-day Federal Register Notice 

published on June 30, 2017 (82 FR 

29948). Comments were received from 

the National Treasury Employees Union 

(NTEU), an individual at the Federal 

Aviation Administration (FAA), and an 

individual from the U.S. Postal 

Inspection Service (USPIS). Comments 

were also provided on behalf of the 

Security, Suitability, and Credentialing 

Performance Accountability Council 

Program Management Office (PAC 

PMO). 

From the PAC PMO a 

recommendation was submitted to 

modify the explanation provided in the 

‘Purpose of this Form’ section to explain 

that responses provided on the SF 85P 

and the SF 86 may be compared with 

responses to previous SF 85 

questionnaires. OPM accepted this 

comment and will update instructions 

to inform individuals completing the 

form that responses provided may be 

compared with responses provided on 

previous investigative questionnaires. 

An individual from USPIS 

commented that Section 6, Your 

Identifying Information should include 

marital status/history, and the Sex/ 

Gender question should be expanded to 

include transgender options. OPM did 

not accept these comments. Marital/ 

Relationship section will remain in a 

separate section. Completion of the 

gender information on the questionnaire 

is based on the gender the applicant 

identifies with at the time when 

completing the application, which 

includes transgender individuals. 

An individual from FAA commented 

to include in Section 9, Citizenship, a 

field to request the CIS number (A#) in 

the Naturalization Certificate. OPM did 

not accept this comment as a field 

currently exists to provide the CIS 

number. 

An individual from FAA suggested to 

clarify instructions in Section 11, Where 

You Have Lived, to require the 

applicant to enter a full address (House
