Download as PDF tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 168 / Monday, August 31, 2015 / Notices criminal conduct occurred, and the nature of the specific job in question.’’ The instruction for questions 9 through 13 already includes an advisement that the circumstances of each event listed will be considered and in most cases, the respondent can still be considered for Federal jobs. A commenter also recommended that OPM direct agencies to afford screenedout applicants an opportunity to fully explain the circumstances of their conviction or charge in light of these factors. OPM did not accept this recommendation. OPM has already provided extensive guidance to agencies regarding suitability assessments and consideration of information collected during the hiring process; and the commenter’s reference to screen-outs appears to misconstrue the individualized nature of Federal hiring and suitability decisions. As stated in the form instructions, ‘‘In most cases you can still be considered for Federal jobs’’ if you have a conviction record. A commenter recommended OPM amend the instruction for question 11, ‘‘Are you currently under charges for any violation of the law?’’ from requiring an explanation of the violation to requiring an explanation of the charges. OPM accepted this recommendation. The wording change will help elicit truthful responses in cases where the respondent contests whether a ‘‘violation’’ actually occurred. A commenter recommended OPM highlight the instructions in Item 16, Continuation Space/Agency Optional Questions. OPM did not accept this recommendation. Instructions are provided on the form regarding the purpose of the Continuation Space/ Agency Optional Questions. OPM accepted a commenter’s recommendation to amend instructional verbiage in Item 17 to clarify that the instruction applies to individuals who are applying for a position and have not yet been selected as well as individuals who have received a tentative or condition offer of employment. This ICR requests categorizing this form as a common form. Once OMB approves the use of this common form, all Federal agencies using the form not in connection with OPM’s own use investigation may request the use of this common form without additional 60 or 30 day notice and comment requirements. At that point, each such agency will account for its number of respondents and the burden associated with the agency’s use.
