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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice announces that OPM submitted 

OMB a request for review and clearance 

of the revised collection of information, 

Declaration for Federal Employment 

Optional Form (OF) 306 (OMB Control 

No. 3206–0182). 

The OF 306 is completed by 

applicants who are under consideration 

for Federal or Federal contract 

employment. It collects information 

about an applicant’s selective service 

registration, military service, and 

general background. The information 

collected on this form is mainly used to 

determine a person’s acceptability for 

Federal and Federal contract 

employment. However, if necessary, and 

usually in conjunction with another 

form or forms, the information on this 

form may be used in conducting an 

investigation to determine a person’s 

suitability or ability to hold a security 

clearance, and it may be disclosed to 

authorized officials making similar, 

subsequent determinations. 

The OF 306 requests that the 

applicant provide personal identifying 

data, including past convictions, 

imprisonments, probations, paroles or 

military court martial, delinquency on a 

Federal debt, Selective Service 

Registration, United States military 

service and Federal civilian or military 

retirement pay or pension received or 

applied for. It is estimated that 178,114 

individuals will respond annually. Each 

form takes approximately 15 minutes to 

complete. The annual estimated burden 

is 44,529 hours. 

The 60-day Federal Register Notice 

was published in the Federal Register 

on April 19, 2010 (Federal Register 

Notices/Volume 75, Number 74, page 

20399). Comments from the Department 

of Treasury (Treasury), Minerals 

Management Service, U.S. Department 

of Agriculture Office of Human 

Resources Management (USDA–HRM), 

USDA Rural Development, and General 

Services Administration (GSA) iterated 

the need for continuing this information 

collection to assist Federal agencies 

during the hiring process. Treasury, 

USDA–HRM, and GSA specifically 

commented on the public burden 

statement and characterized the burden 

as accurate and valid. 

In addition, comments from Federal 

agencies and members of the public 

made recommendations for adjustments 

to the form. The Department of Treasury 

(Treasury) recommended that OPM 

develop an automated version of the 

form to include electronic signature to 

minimize the burden on job candidates 

and streamline the hiring process. OPM 

will take this recommendation for future 

consideration. OPM accepted comments 

from Treasury regarding formatting 

changes for the collection of middle 

names and suffixes. 

OPM accepted Treasury’s 

recommendation to collect the country 

of citizenship of the respondent in order 

to assist agencies in the hiring process 

for the majority of Federal positions that 

may be filled only by U.S. citizens. OPM 

did not accept Treasury’s 

recommendation to collect information 

as to whether the respondent has been 

arrested/charged but will consider 

including this question in future 

revisions to the investigative 

questionnaire for non-sensitive 

positions. OPM intends to limit the 

scope of the collection for conviction, 

imprisonment, probation, parole, and 

military court-martial to the past 7 years 

vice 10 in order to align this collection 

with the collection of information on 

investigative questionnaires which 

generate collection of local law 

enforcement records. OPM particularly 

invites comment during this 30-day 

notice period regarding these proposed 

changes to the collection. 

OPM rejected a comment from a 

member of the public to collect the 

lifetime criminal record from the 

respondent. OPM also rejected a 

comment from a member of the public 

that recommended that Federal 

employment and Federal contract 

employment be extended only to 

persons with at least a GED or high 

school diploma as the comment was 

outside of the scope of the request for 

comments on the proposed collection.

II. Notice of Filing 

III. Ordering Paragraphs 

I. Introduction 

On October 8, 2010, the Postal Service 

filed a notice announcing that it has 

entered into six additional Global 

Expedited Package Services 3 (GEPS 3) 

contracts.1 The Postal Service believes 

the instant contracts are functionally 

equivalent to previously submitted 

GEPS contracts, and are supported by 

Governors’ Decision No. 08–7, attached 

to the Notice and originally filed in 

Docket No. CP2008–4. Id. at 1, 

Attachment 3. The Notice explains that 

Order No. 86, which established GEPS 

1 as a product, also authorized 

functionally equivalent agreements to be 

included within the product, provided 

that they meet the requirements of 39 

U.S.C. 3633. Id. at 2. In Order No. 290, 

the Commission approved the GEPS 2 

product.2 In Order No. 503, the 

Commission approved the GEPS 3 

product. Additionally, the Postal 

Service requested to have the contract in 

Docket No. CP2010–71 serve as the 

baseline contract for future functional 

equivalence analyses of the GEPS 3 

product. 

The instant contracts. The Postal 

Service filed the instant contracts 

pursuant to 39 CFR 3015.5. In addition, 

the Postal Service contends that each 

contract is in accordance with Order No. 

86. The term of each contract is 1 year 

from the date the Postal Service notifies 

the customer that all necessary 

regulatory approvals have been 

received. Notice at 3. 

In support of its Notice, the Postal 

Service filed four attachments as 

follows: 

Attachments 1A through 1F— 

redacted copies of the six contracts and 

applicable annexes; 

Attachments 2A through 2F—certified 

statements required by 39 CFR 

3015.5(c)(2) for each contract; 

Attachment 3—a redacted copy of 

Governors’ Decision No. 08–7 which 

establishes prices and classifications for 

GEPS contracts, a description of 

applicable GEPS contracts, formulas for 

prices, an analysis of the formulas, and 

certification of the Governors’ vote; and 

Attachment 4—an application for 

non–public treatment of materials to 

maintain redacted portions of the 

contracts and supporting documents 

under seal. 

The Notice advances reasons why the 

instant GEPS 3 contracts fit within the 

Mail Classification Schedule language 

for the GEPS 3 product. The Postal 

Service identifies customer-specific 

information and general contract terms 

that distinguish the instant contracts 

from the baseline GEPS 3 agreement. Id. 

at 4–5. It states that the differences, 

which include price variations based on 

updated costing information and 

volume commitments, do not alter the 

contracts’ functional equivalency. Id. at 

3–4. The Postal Service asserts that 

‘‘[b]ecause the agreements incorporate 

the same cost attributes and 

methodology, the relevant 

characteristics of these six GEPS 

contracts are similar, if not the same, as 

the relevant characteristics of previously 

filed contracts.’’ Id. at 4. 

The Postal Service concludes that its 

filings demonstrate that each of the new 

GEPS 3 contracts complies with the 

requirements of 39 U.S.C. 3633 and is 

functionally equivalent to the baseline 

GEPS 3 contract. Therefore, it requests 

that the instant contracts be included 

within the GEPS 3 product. Id. at 5. 

II. Notice of Filing 

The Commission establishes Docket 

Nos. CP2011–13 through CP2011–18 for 

consideration of matters related to the 

contracts identified in the Postal 

Service’s Notice. 

These dockets are addressed on a 

consolidated basis for purposes of this 

order. Filings with respect to a 

particular contract should be filed in 

that docket. 

Interested persons may submit 

comments on whether the Postal 

Service’s contracts are consistent with 

the policies of 39 U.S.C. 3632, 3633, or 

3642. Comments are due no later than 

October 20, 2010.3 The public portions 

of these filings can be accessed via the 

Commission’s Web site (http:// 

www.prc.gov). 

The Commission appoints Natalie Rea 

to serve as Public Representative in the 

captioned proceedings. 

III. Ordering Paragraphs
