SUMMARY: In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub.
L. 104–13, May 22, 1995), this notice
announces that the Office of Personnel
Management (OPM) submitted to the
Office of Management and Budget a
request for review of a revised
information collection for Occupational
Questionnaire (OPM Forms 1203–FX
and 1203–EZ). The Occupational
Questionnaire is an optical scan form
designed to collect applicant
information and qualifications in a
format suitable for automated
processing and to create applicant
records for an automated examining
system. Each version of this form
contains a unique scan form identifier
in the upper left-hand corner for the
scanning equipment to recognize which
version is being used. The 1203 series
was commonly referred to as the
Qualifications and Availability Form C.
OPM has re-titled the series as
Occupational Questionnaire, to fit a
more generic need. OPM uses these
forms to carry out its responsibility for
open competitive examining for
admission to the competitive service in
accordance with section 3304, of title 5,
United States Code.
OPM has not revised the Form 1203–
FX Occupational Questionnaire
commonly referred to as Form C. Upon
clearance from the Office of

Jkt 211001
Management and Budget in 2002, the
Occupational Questionnaire was
available via OPM’s Web site and OPM’s
USAJOBS Web site. OPM Form 1203–
EZ is a three page version that is shorter
and was previously approved by OMB
in 2002. The approved OPM Form1203–
EZ is being discontinued because over
the past two years the form was not
used.
The Form 1203 FX version allowed
the applicant to transmit information
via facsimile, mail, or the Internet using
a fillable Adobe Acrobat Reader (PDF)
file. The public reporting burden of
collecting this information is estimated
to vary from 20 minutes to 45 minutes.
The average time to complete this form
is 30 minutes. Over the past three years
an annual average of 54,202 applicants
used Form 1203–FX for a public burden
of 27,101 hours per year.
A comment request for these forms
was published in the Federal Register
on November 9, 2005 [FR Vol. 70, No.
216]. During the initial 60-day comment
request period, OPM received only one
comment from the Department of the
Treasury: ‘‘None [bureaus] are using the
three-page version, OPM Form 1203–EZ;
therefore, we have no objections to
OPM’s plans to discontinue this threepage version.’’ Further, ‘‘* * * we
definitely do see the need for continued
use of the regular OPM Form 1203–FX,
and are glad to hear that OPM plans to
continue its availability.’’
