Cohen Act (Pub. L. 104-106), OPM is soliciting comments for this 
collection. The SF 15, Application for 10-Point Veteran Preference, is 
used by veterans as both a request for preference and a guide to 
determine the appropriate documentation to submit to support their 
claims of 10-point veterans' preference when applying for Federal 
employment. The SF 15, and the accompanying documentation, is used by 
agencies, OPM examining offices, and agency appointing officials to 
adjudicate individuals' claims for veterans' preference in accordance 
with the Veterans' Preference Act of 1944. This notice proposes to 
renew a currently approved collection. Therefore, we invite comments 
that:
    1. Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the 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.
