SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice announces that OPM is submitting to OMB a request for review and clearance of the revised collection VerDate Mar<15>2010 18:06 Sep 27, 2013 Jkt 229001 of information, Questionnaire for NonSensitive Positions, SF 85, which is housed in a system named e-QIP (Electronic Questionnaires for Investigative Processing) and is an information collection completed by applicants for, or incumbents of, Federal Government civilian or military positions, or positions in private entities performing work for the Federal Government under contract. The collection is used as the basis of information: • By the Federal Government in conducting background investigations of persons under consideration for nonsensitive, low-risk positions as defined in Executive Order 10450 and 5 CFR part 731; • by agencies in determining whether a person performing work for or on behalf of the Federal Government under a contract should be deemed eligible for logical or physical access or fit to perform the work anticipated, if the contract provides for such an adjudication. The SF 85 is completed by civilian employees of the Federal Government, military personnel, and non-federal employees, including Federal contractors and individuals otherwise not directly employed by the Federal Government but who perform work for or on behalf of the Federal Government. It is estimated that 55,040 non-Federal individuals will complete the SF 85 annually for investigations conducted by OPM. The SF 85 takes approximately 30 minutes to complete. The estimated annual burden for this form when used in OPM investigations is 27,520 hours. This ICR also requests categorizing the form as a common form. OPM will continue to estimate the burden based on all Federal agencies that submit the SF 85 to OPM for investigation. Once OMB approves the use of this common form, all Federal agencies using the form not in connection with an OPM investigation may request use of this common form without additional 60- or 30-day notice and comment requirements. At that point, each agency will account for its number of respondents and the burden associated with the agency’s use. The 60-day notice of the proposed information collection was published in the Federal Register on July 18, 2013 (Federal Register Notices/Volume 78, Number 138, page 42982–42983) as required by 5 CFR 1320, affording the public an opportunity to comment on the form. A commenter from OPM recommend changing information collected in Section 7, Citizenship, to mirror the collection found on the SF 86. This recommendation was not PO 00000 Frm 00074 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 accepted at this time. OPM will need additional time to explore the feasibility of addressing this recommendation in a timely manner and comply with investigative coverage requirements. U.S. Office of Personnel Management.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice announces that OPM is submitting

appropriate, of persons under consideration for or retention in 
national security sensitive positions as defined in Executive Order 
10450 and 5 CFR part 732, and for positions requiring eligibility for

work for or on behalf of the Federal Government under a contract should 
be deemed eligible for logical or physical access when the nature of 
the work is sensitive and could bring about a material adverse effect 
on national security.
    The SF 86C is completed by civilian employees of the Federal 
Government, military personnel, and non-federal employees, including 
Federal contractors and individuals otherwise not directly employed by 
the Federal Government but who perform work for or on behalf of the 
Federal Government. Numerous situations exist that require an

that no data changes occurred, or to provide new or changed 
information. The SF 86C is a certification document that permits the 
reporting of changes on previously reported SF 86 information. 
Individual agencies maintain the form.
    It is estimated that no non-Federal individuals will complete the 
SF 86C annually for investigations conducted by OPM. The SF 86C is not 
used as the basis for any investigations conducted by OPM. The SF 86C 
takes approximately 15 minutes to complete. The estimated annual burden

comment requirements. At that point, each agency will account for its 
number of respondents and the burden associated with the agency's use.
