AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 
et seq.), this notice announces that the information collection request 
described below has been forwarded to the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) for review and comment. The FAA is requesting an emergency 
clearance by June 3, 1996, in accordance with 5 CFR Sec. 1320.13. The 
following information describes the nature of the information 
collection and its expected burden.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

TITLE: Application for Employment with the Federal Aviation 
Administration.

[[Page 25730]]

    The collection of information is an application for employment with 
the Federal Aviation Administration. Applicants will have to complete a 
number of background questions to determine their basic eligibility for 
Federal employment and also answer specific occupation-related 
questions to determine their qualifications.

NEED: P.L. 104-50 authorized the Federal Aviation Administration to 
establish its own personnel system outside most of the requirements of 
Title 5. The only provisions related to hiring that will continue to 
apply are those dealing with veteran's preference. One of the 
recommendations of our personnel reform task forces, and in keeping 
with reengineered business processes under the National Performance 
Review, we are attempting to centralized and automate some of our 
application, evaluation and hiring processes. This application is a 
part of that effort.
    We propose to utilize the information collected to make 
determinations on applicant's eligibility for Federal employment as 
well as determining their qualifications for employment and certifying 
the name of qualified applicants to line managers who will make hiring 
decisions.

RESPONDENTS: The likely respondents will be the general public who are 
interested in employment with this agency. We estimate that the average 
number of respondents on an annual basis to be 5,000, each applying one 
time. The submission of this information is completely voluntary on the 
part of the applicant.

FREQUENCY: The frequency is based on the respondent, however, we 
estimate one time per respondent.

BURDEN: The estimated reporting burden is 5,000 hours annually.
    Copies of the proposed collection of information may be obtained 
from: The Federal Aviation Administration, Office of Human Resource 
Management, Room 515, 800 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 
20591.
    Comments may be submitted to the agency at the address above or to: 
Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and 
Budget, Docket Library, Room 10102, 725 17th Street, NW., Washington, 
DC 20503.

    Issued in Washington, DC on May 15, 1996.
