Notice of Intent To Seek Approval To 

Extend a Current Information 

Collection 

AGENCY: National Science Foundation. 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: The National Science 

Foundation (NSF) is announcing plans 

to request clearance of this collection. In 

accordance with the requirement of 

Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–13), 

we are providing opportunity for public

and considering public comment, NSF 

will prepare the submission requesting 

that OMB approve clearance of this 

collection for three years. 

DATES: Written comments on this notice 

must be received by December 5, 2005, 

to be assured of consideration. 

Comments received after that date will 

be considered to the extent practicable. 

For Additional Information or 

Comments: Contact Suzanne H. 

Plimpton, Reports Clearance Officer,

p.m., eastern time, Monday through 

Friday. You also may obtain a copy of 

the data collection instrument and 

instructions from Ms. Plimpton. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title of Collection: eRecruit. 

OMB Number: 3145–0184. 

Expiration Date of Approval: March 

31, 2006. 

Type of Request: Intent to seek 

approval to extend a current 

information collection for three years. 

Abstract: National Science 

Foundation (NSF), Division of Human 

Resources Management (HRM), as part 

of its Workforce Planning efforts, is 

continuing to reengineer its business 

processes. Part of this reengineering 

effort is devoted to making the 

application and referral process for both 

internal and external applicants easier 

to use, more efficient and timely. 

Applicants apply on-line using a webbased resume, which prompts them to 

provide pertinent personal data 

necessary to apply for a position. 

Use of the Information: The 

information is used by NSF to provide 

applicants with the ability to apply 

electronically for NSF positions and 

receive notification as to their 

qualifications, application dispensation 

and to request to be notified of future 

vacancies for which they may qualify. 

In order to apply for vacancies, 

applicants are encouraged to submit 

certain data in order to receive 

consideration. Users only need access to 

the Internet for this system to work. 

This information is used to determine 

which applicants are best qualified for 

a position, based on applicant responses 

to a series of job related ‘‘yes/no’’ or 

‘‘multiple choice’’ questions. The 

resume portion requires applicants to 

provide the same information they 

would provide were they submitting a 

paper OF–612. The obvious benefit 

being that the applicant may do so online, 24 hours a day/seven days a week 

and receive electronic notification about 

the status of their application or 

information on other vacancies for 

which they may qualify. Staff members 

of the Division of Human Resource 

Management and the selecting official(s) 

for specific positions for which 

applicants apply are only ones privy to 

the applicant data. The most significant 

data is not the applicant personal data 

such as address or phone number but 

rather their description of their work 

experience and their corresponding 

responses to those questions, which 

determine their overall rating, ranking, 

and referral to the selecting official. 

Estimate of Burden: Public reporting 

burden for this collection of information 

is estimated to average 45 minutes to 

create the on line resume and 

potentially less than 45 minutes to 

apply for jobs on-line. 

There is no financial burden on the 

applicant, in fact this relieves much of 

the burden the former paper-intensive 

process puts on applicants. 

Respondents: Individuals. 7,070 

applicants applied for NSF vacancies 

between October 2004 and September 

2005. 

Average Number of Applicants: 

Approximately 63 responses per job 

opening for vacancy announcements 

between October 2004 and September 

2005. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: Approximately 45 

minutes per respondent total time is all 

that is needed to complete the on-line 

application, for a total of 5,303 hours 

annually. 

Frequency of Responses: Applicants 

need only complete the resume one 

time, and they may use that resume to 

apply as often as they wish for any NSF 

job opening. 

Comments: Comments are invited on 

(a) Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

Agency, including whether the 

information shall have practical utility; 

(b) the accuracy of the Agency’s 

estimate of the burden of the proposed 

collection of information; (c) ways to 

enhance the quality, utility, and clarity 

of the information on respondents, 

including through the use of automated 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology; and (d) ways to 

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.
