OFFICE OF PERSONNEL 

MANAGEMENT 

[OMB NO. 3206–0150] 

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request for Revised 

Information Collection: Fingerprint 

Charts: Standard Form (SF) 87 AND SF 

87A 

AGENCY: U.S. Office of Personnel 

Management. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. 

L. 104–13) this notice announces that 

the U.S. Office of Personnel 

Management (OPM) has submitted to 

the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) a request for review and 

clearance of the revised collection of 

information collection (Fingerprint 

Charts SF 87 and SF 87A; OMB No. 

3206–0150). The Fingerprint Charts are 

used in processing fingerprint checks 

submitted to the Federal Bureau of 

Investigation (FBI) to assist in 

determining whether an applicant is 

suitable for Federal employment or 

should be granted a security clearance. 

The SF 87 and SF 87A are completed 

by respondents for, or incumbents of, 

Government positions or by military 

personnel. The SF 87 and SF 87A are 

used to conduct a criminal history 

check in connection with background 

investigations to establish that such 

persons are: 

• Suitable for employment or 

retention in the position; 

• Suitable for employment or 

retention in a public trust position; 

• Suitable for employment or 

retention in a national security position; 

or 

• Eligible for access to classified 

national security information. 

We received one comment as a result 

of the 60-day Federal Register Notice, 

published in the Federal Register on 

June 23, 2008. The comment was 

received from the Internal Revenue 

Service regarding contractor use of the 

SF 87 and SF 87A. Contractors do not 

use the SF 87 and 87A—they use the FD 

258. The Federal Register notice was 

updated to reflect this fact. We did not 

receive any other comments. Therefore, 

we determined that this collection of 

information continues to be necessary 

for the proper performance of functions 

of the OPM and the Federal 

Investigative Services Division, which 

administers background investigations. 

Further, we believe that our estimate of 

the public burden of this collection of 

information is accurate and based on 

valid assumptions and methodology. 

It is estimated that 196,540 SF 87 or 

SF 87A inquiries are sent to individuals 

annually. Each form takes 

approximately five minutes to complete. 

The estimated annual burden is 

approximately 16,380 hours.

request.

days from the date of this publication.

17236 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 70 / Tuesday, April 14, 2009 / Notices 

1Notice of the United States Postal Service of 

Market Test of Experimental Product— 

Collaborative Logistics, April 1, 2009 (Notice). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

On April 1, 2009, the Postal Service 

filed a formal notice, pursuant to 39 

U.S.C. 3641(c)(1), announcing its intent 

to initiate a market test beginning May 

6, 2009, of an experimental product, 

Collaborative Logistics.1 The Postal 

Service asserts that the Collaborative 

Logistics product is a competitive 

product. Notice at 1. The Notice recites 

the statutory authority for offering 

Collaborative Logistics as an 

experimental product and provides a 

general description of it. This 

experiment represents the initial market 

test conducted by the Postal Service 

under the Postal Accountability and 

Enhancement Act (PAEA). 

Statutory authority. The Postal 

Service indicates that it plans to 

conduct a market test of the proposed 

Collaborative Logistics product. Section 

3641 imposes certain conditions on 

experimental products which the Notice 

purports to address. Specifically, the 

Postal Service asserts that Collaborative 

Logistics is significantly different from 

all products within the meaning of 39 

U.S.C. 3641(b)(1). 

In addition, it contends that ‘‘the 

introduction or continued offering of the 

product will not create an unfair or 

otherwise inappropriate competitive 

advantage for the Postal Service or any 

mailer, particularly in regard to small 

business concerns.’’ Id. at 2; see also 39 

U.S.C. 3641(b)(2). Also, it submits that 

Collaborative Logistics is correctly 

classified as a competitive product. Id.; 

see also 39 U.S.C. 3641(b)(3). 

Product description. Pursuant to 39 

U.S.C.3641(c)(1)(B), the Postal Service 

provides a brief description of the 

nature and scope of the market test. The 

Postal Service explains that, in view of 

its large and complex transportation 

network, ‘‘the natural imbalance of mail 

volume between cities and the need to 

meet operating plans to support service 

standards makes some underutilized 

space on some highway transportation 

predictable.’’ Id. at 2–3. Under this 

market test, ‘‘the Postal Service would 

sell that available space.’’ Id. at 3. Thus, 

it defines the experimental product as 

‘‘transportation of an article or multiple 

articles on a pallet or other unit load, on 

a space-available basis, in postal 

transportation.’’ Id. at 3. 

Under the market test, ‘‘unit loads 

will be picked up and delivered to 

firms, stores, hospitals, warehouses, 

other large customer and/or postal 

facilities.’’ Id. For instance, the Postal 

Service specifies that the ‘‘maximum 

pallet weight will be 2200 pounds, with 

articles secured to the pallet using 

shrink-wrapping and banding.’’ Id. at 3. 

These unit loads are to be shipped or 

carried like those loads provided under 

similar offerings, often called LTL (lessthan-truckload) shipping services. The 

Postal Service notes that terms are to be 

governed under negotiated contracts. Id. 

at 3–4. 

The Postal Service indicates that total 

revenues from the market test are not 

anticipated to exceed $10 million. Id. at 

2. In addition, it confirms that the 

market test shall not exceed two years. 

Id. 

II. Notice of Filing 

The Commission establishes Docket 

No. MT2009–1 for consideration of 

matters raised by the Notice. Interested 

persons may submit comments on 

whether the Postal Service’s filing in the 

captioned docket is consistent with the 

policies of 39 U.S.C. 3641. Comments 

are due no later than April 27, 2009. 

The filing can be accessed via the 

Commission’s Web site (http:// 

www.prc.gov). 

The Commission appoints Michael J. 

Ravnitzky to serve as Public 

Representative in this docket. 

III. Supplemental Information 

This is the first time the Postal 

Service has noticed an experimental 

product under the PAEA. The 

Commission requests the Postal Service 

to provide the following supplemental 

information regarding the market test by 

April 20, 2009: 

1. Please provide the Governors’ 

decision, if any, authorizing initiation of 

the experimental product. 

2. Please describe: (a) The geographic 

market where the market test will be 

conducted; (b) the plan for monitoring 

the performance of the market test, 

including specific data items to be 

collected periodically; (c) the 

parameters of the market test; and (d) 

the criteria to be used to assess the 

success of the test. 

3. Please describe how the product, 

Collaborative Logistics, will be made 

available to the public. 

4. The Notice describes the product, 

but does not explicitly indicate whether 

the product is to be classified as a postal 

service. Please elaborate. 

5. Please identify: (a) When the 

‘‘similar product,’’ referred to at 

footnote 1 of the Notice, was terminated; 

and (b) explain how the Collaborative 

Logistics experimental product is 

significantly different from the similar 

product offered previously. 

6. (a) Please provide the basis upon 

which the Postal Service concludes that 

offering the product will not create an 

unfair or otherwise inappropriate 

competitive advantage for the Postal 

Service or any mailer. 

(b) Please discuss the Postal Service’s 

efforts to determine the impact on small 

businesses. 

7. Please identify all applicable 

federal and state laws and regulations 

that apply to the transportation offerings 

of the experimental product. 

8. Please explain if Collaborative 

Logistics will use Purchased 

Transportation (Cost Segment 14) or 

Vehicle Service Drivers (Cost Segment 

8). 

IV. Ordering Paragraphs

No. MT2009–1 for consideration of the

officer of the Commission (Public 

Representative) to represent the

in the body of this Order are due April 

20, 2009.
