SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As 

required by the Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2), OPM 

is soliciting comments for this 

collection. The Office of Management 

and Budget is particularly interested in 

comments that: 

1. Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of functions 

of the agency, 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, 2001 Comp., p. 748; 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 360TM assessment measures 

the 28 competencies that comprise the 

five Executive Core Qualifications and 

Fundamental Competencies in the OPM 

leadership model. The OPM Leadership 

360TM 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. 

Three new surveys are being added to 

this collection: The Leadership for 

Inclusion Survey (L4I), the Leadership 

for Engagement Survey (L4E), and the 

DEIA Pulse Survey. For the remaining 

three surveys the following minor 

updates, which did not impact the 

burden estimate, have been made: 

The OPM Leadership 360TM survey 

content was reviewed and some changes 

were made, including refreshing some 

items to update the language and/or 

better reflect current terminology, 

revamping the response scale in an 

effort to increase response variance, and 

changing some item language to make it 

more gender neutral (e.g., updated 

language such as ‘‘he or she’’ to ‘‘they’’). 

For the Leadership Potential 

Assessment, some item language was 

changed to make it more gender neutral 

(e.g., updated language such as ‘‘he or 

she’’ to ‘‘they’’). 

Minor changes were also made to the 

instructions of the Leadership Profiler to 

match our new survey platform.
