AGENCY:
ACTION:
SUMMARY: In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. Chapter 35), and implementing
regulations at 5 CFR part 1320, the U.S.
Office of Special Counsel (OSC), plans
to request approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for use
of a previously approved information
collection consisting of a customer
survey form.
OSC is required by law to conduct an
annual survey of those who seek its
assistance. The information collection is
used to carry out that mandate. The
current OMB approval for this
collection of information expired on
March 31, 2009. Current and former
Federal employees, employee
representatives, other Federal agencies,
state and local government employees,
and the general public are invited to
comment on this information collection
for the second time.
Comments are invited on:
(a) whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of OSC functions,
including whether the information will
have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of OSC’s estimate of
the burden of the proposed collections
of information;
(c) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
(d) ways to minimize the burden of
the collection of information on
respondents, including through the use
of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
DATES: Comments should be received by
March 22, 2010.
ADDRESSES: Roderick Anderson, CFO,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OSC is an
independent agency responsible for,
among other things, (1) investigation of
allegations of prohibited personnel
practices defined by law at 5 U.S.C.

and certain other illegal employment
practices under titles 5 and 38 of the
U.S. Code, affecting current or former
Federal employees or applicants for
employment, and covered state and
local government employees; and (2) the
interpretation and enforcement of Hatch
Act provisions on political activity in
chapters 15 and 73 of title 5 of the U.S.
Code. OSC is required to conduct an
annual survey of individuals who seek
its assistance. Section 13 of Public Law
103-424 (1994), codified at 5 U.S.C.
1212 note, states, in part: ‘‘[T]he survey
shall--(1) determine if the individual
seeking assistance was fully apprised of
their rights; (2) determine whether the
individual was successful either at the
Office of Special Counsel or the Merit
Systems Protection Board; and (3)
determine if the individual, whether
successful or not, was satisfied with the
treatment received from the Office of
Special Counsel.’’ The same section also
provides that survey results are to be
published in OSC’s annual report to
Congress. Copies of prior years’ annual
reports are available on OSC’s Web site,
at https://www.osc.gov/
RRlAnnualReportsToCongress.htm or
by calling OSC at (202) 254-3600.
OSC has enhanced the effectiveness of
this survey by having revised the
questions asked, and continues to use
the online survey, due to its
effectiveness in reducing response time.
