Needs and Uses: This form is used to obtain the source of recruitment, ethnicity, race, and disability data on job applicants to determine if the recruitment is effectively reaching all aspects of the relevant labor pool and to determine if there are proportionate acceptance rates at various states of the recruitment process. Response is optional. The information is used for evaluating recruitment only and plays no part in the selection process. Affected Public: Individuals or households. Annual Burden Hours: 900. Number of Respondents: 8,000. Responses per Respondent: 1. Average Burden per Response: 5 minutes. Frequency: On occasion. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: National Geospatial Intelligence Agency (NGA) is below parity with the Relevant Civilian Labor Force representation for many mission critical occupations. The Agency’s Directorate of Human Development identifies the job skills that will be needed in our current and future workforce. NGA has a broad mission and has employees located throughout the country and world. As a result, it requires a multitude of job skills and employee backgrounds. The customers who transact business with the Agency bring with them a wide variety of backgrounds, cultures, and experiences. A diverse workforce enables the Agency to provide a measure of understanding to its customers by relating to the diverse background of those customers. By including employees of all backgrounds, all NGA employees gain a measure of knowledge, background, and experience that are beneficial in serving the agency’s customers. In order to determine if there are barriers in our recruitment and selection processes, we must rank the demographic groups that apply for our jobs. There is no other statistically valid PO 00000 Frm 00023 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 method to make these determinations, and no source of this information other than directly from applicants. The data collected is not provided to selecting officials and plays no part in the merit staffing or the selection processes. The data collected will be used in summary form to determine trends covering the demographic make-up of applicant pools and job selections within a given occupation or organizational group. The records of those applicants not selected are destroyed in accordance with the agency’s records management process. Dated: September 8, 2005. Patricia L.
