OPM intends to limit the scope of the collection for conviction, imprisonment, probation, parole, and military court-martial to the past 7 years vice 10 in order to align this collection with the collection of information on investigative questionnaires which generate collection of local law enforcement records. OPM particularly invites comment during this 30-day notice period regarding these proposed changes to the collection. OPM rejected a comment from a member of the public to collect the lifetime criminal record from the respondent.
