The purpose of A.SF (Standard Forms) and OF (Optional Forms) is to increase economic efficiency by developing, executing, and maintaining the use of well established forms.
The list of current SF and OF forms should be looked at, in order to decide whether there is a need for such. Make sure there isn’t already a form or a system currently in place that already serves the same purpose.
Quote a relevant ruling, to legitimize the initiation, alteration, or rescission of the SF.
Unlike SF, OF does not require such justification.
Check what agencies and other likely users utilize this form, and contact them to understand what their requirements are.
The relevant law to adhere to is the Privacy Act, Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), while being mindful of various other rulings.
Institute a system of records notice, acquire an OMB Control Number, etc.
File Standard Form 152, obtain authorization for your agency.
