Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request, 19787-19788 [05-7492]

Download as PDF 19787 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 71 / Thursday, April 14, 2005 / Notices Without the data provided by this collection, DOL does not have the ability to evaluate the effectiveness of any of these targeted recruiting strategies because collection of racial and national origin information only occurs at the point of hiring. DOL needs to collect data on the pools of applicants which result from the various targeted recruitment strategies listed above. After the certification and selection process has been completed, it is necessary to cross-reference the data collected with the outcome of the qualifications review in order to evaluate the quality of applicants from various recruitment sources. With the information from this collection, DOL can adjust and redirect its targeted recruitment to achieve the best result. DOL will also be able to respond to requests for information received from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) in the course of OPM evaluation and oversight activities. II. Desired Focus of Comments The Department of Labor is particularly interested in comments which: • Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility; • evaluate the accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; • enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and • minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, for example, 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. III. Current Actions This notice requests an extension of the current Office of Management and Budget approval of the Applicant Background Questionnaire. Extension is necessary to continue to evaluate the effectiveness of agency recruitment programs in attracting applicants from under-represented sectors of the population. Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection. Agency: U.S. Department of Labor. Title: Applicant Background Questionnaire. OMB Number: 1225–0072. Affected Public: Applicants for positions recruited in the Department of Labor. Total Respondents: 3000. Frequency: one time per respondent. Total Responses: 3000. Average Time per Response: 3 minutes. Estimated Total Burden Hours: 150 hours. Total Burden Cost (capital/startup): $0. Total Burden Cost (operating/ maintaining): $78.82. Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized and/or included in the request for Office of Management and Budget approval of the information collection request; they will also become a matter of public record.
