Revise the collection of Demographic Information on Applicants by removing the sourcing question ‘‘How did you learn about this position?’’ along with the pre-populated answer choices provided for this question. (C.) Add basic eligibility questions to the Applicant Profile as well as optional questions to the Applicant Profile in USAJOBS that will allow applicants to self-identify (subject to subsequent verification by the appointing agency) as eligible for certain special hiring authorities. This is expected to streamline some hiring actions by allowing agencies to search for resumes of applicants who have volunteered information about their eligibility under special hiring authorities. Information volunteered by applicants about their potential eligibility under one or more special hiring authorities will be stored in USAJOBS and will only become visible to agencies that are considering filling a job using a special hiring authority. In that case, the hiring agency will be able to search USAJOBS for potential applicants who have chosen to indicate that they believe they are eligible to be selected under the special authority the agency seeks to use. Applicants who do not choose to use this opportunity to volunteer information about their eligibility under a special hiring authority may still choose to apply for jobs, as they are announced, under any of these special hiring authorities for which they are eligible. If applicants volunteer to provide information through the Web site about the special hiring authorities for which they believe they are eligible, then agencies that are searching for potential applicants to hire under one of these authorities may be able to locate their resume through USAJOBS and invite them to apply. Otherwise, this information will be retained in the USAJOBS database and not disclosed.

revision proposes to in part, permit the migration of USAJOBS to a new 
platform. In addition, this revision proposes to:
    (A.) Discontinue the use of the Application for Federal Employment 
Optional Form 612. This action is being taken to facilitate a more 
seamless employment application process for both Federal agencies and 
job seekers, consistent with the goals of Federal hiring reform.
    (B.) Revise the collection of Demographic Information on Applicants 
by removing the sourcing question ``How did you learn about this 
position?'' along with the pre-populated answer choices provided for 
this question.
    (C.) Add basic eligibility questions to the Applicant Profile as 
well as optional questions to the Applicant Profile in USAJOBS that 
will allow applicants to self-identify (subject to subsequent 
verification by the appointing agency) as eligible for certain special 
hiring authorities. This is expected to streamline some hiring actions

    Applicants who do not choose to use this opportunity to volunteer

these special hiring authorities for which they are eligible. If 
applicants volunteer to provide information through the Web site about

will be retained in the USAJOBS database and not disclosed.
    We estimate it will take approximately 38 minutes to initially 
complete the Resume Builder, depending on the amount of information the 
applicant wishes to include, and approximately five minutes to 
initially complete the Applicant Profile. We estimate over 3,500,000 
new USAJOBS accounts will be submitted annually. The total annual 
estimated burden is 2,508,333 hours.
