Estimated average hours per response:
FR 28: 1 hour, FR 28s: 1 minute, FR 28i:
15 minutes.
Estimated annual burden hours: FR

28i: 75 hours, Total: 3,608 hours.
General Description of Report: The
Application for Employment with the
Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System (Application) collects
information to determine the
qualifications and availability of
applicants for employment with the
Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System (Board). The FR 28
collects information on education and
training, employment record, military
service record, and other information
since the time the applicant left high
school. Included with the FR 28 are two
supplemental questionnaires: (1) The
Applicant’s Voluntary SelfIdentification Form (FR 28s), which
collects information on the applicant’s
gender and ethnic group and (2) The
Research Assistant Candidate Survey of
Interests (FR 28i), which collects
information from candidates applying
for Research Assistant (RA) positions on
their level of interest in economics and
related areas. The Board receives
approximately 3,500 applications per
year, both solicited and unsolicited,
from members of the public who would
like to be considered for employment at
the Board. Since the applicant is usually
either hired by the Board or finds other
employment within the two years that
the Board retains the Application, the
applicant generally files the Application
once.
The Application is comprised of eight
sections: Background, Education and
Training, Employment Record, Military
Service Record, References, General,
Remarks, and Notes. The first six
sections collect information on specific
aspects of the applicant’s qualifications.
The Background section collects name,
address, telephone, and citizenship
information and the position for which
the applicant is applying. The
Education and Training section collects
detailed information on the applicant’s
educational history and skills set. The
Employment Record section collects a
chronological summary of work
experience. The Military Service Record
section collects information on service
branch, rank, duties, and discharge. The
References section collects information
on three references. The General section
collects information on criminal
records, discharge from employment,
willingness to travel, and relations to or
acquaintances with Board staff or
officers and directors of financial
institutions. The Remarks section
provides the applicant an opportunity to
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 241001
provide further information regarding
his or her qualifications. The Notes
section explains what is required of the
applicant prior to an interview and what
may be required of the applicant if he
or she is offered a position (for example,
transcripts, medical examination, or
drug test).
The FR 28s is comprised of four
sections: (1) Name and gender, in which
applicants are asked to check the box
that corresponds to their gender or
check ‘‘I do not wish to disclose’’, (2)
position for which the applicant is
applying, (3) ethnicity selfidentification, in which applicants are
asked to choose between Hispanic or
Latino or Not Hispanic or Latino, or ‘‘I
do not wish to disclose,’’ and (4) race
self-identification, in which applicants
are asked to choose one or more among
American Indian or Alaskan Native,
Asian, Black or African-American,
Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific
Islander, White, or ‘‘I do not wish to
disclose.’’ The Board uses this
information to comply with federal
equal employment opportunity (EEO)
recordkeeping and reporting
requirements, other legal requirements,
and as an input to its self-analysis of
hiring practices. Information collected
on the FR 28s has no bearing on the
determination of an applicant’s jobrelated qualifications and completion of
the self-identification form is voluntary.
The FR 28i is comprised of three
sections in which research assistant
candidates are asked to rate their level
of interest in categories of economics
and related research areas, experience
with various software packages and
statistical programming languages, and
interest in pursuing educational
opportunities after leaving the Board.
The FR 28i helps to streamline the
recruitment process.
Proposed revisions: The Board
proposes four changes to the FR 28
form: (1) Adding fields in the
employment history section for job type,
shift, employee status, and desired
compensation; (2) adding fields in the
education and training section for issue
and expiration date for certifications
and professional licenses; (3) adding
fields in the references section for
relationship, type, and length of
relationship with the reference; and (4)
adding fields in the submission section
to allow for withdrawal of the
application and a request for the
applicant to provide a reason for
withdrawal.
The Board proposes to revise the FR
28i questionnaire by adding a section to
allow an open-ended response by
applicants to describe how they’ve
demonstrated attributes that are
PO 00000
Frm 00032
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
35203
displayed by successful research
assistants in the Economics Divisions.
Legal authorization and
confidentiality: The Board’s Legal
Division has determined that the
Application (including the two
supplemental questionnaires) is
required to obtain the benefit of Board
employment. It is authorized pursuant
to sections 10(4) and 11(1) of the
Federal Reserve Act, which provide the
Federal Reserve Board broad authority
over employment of staff. (12 U.S.C. 244
and 248(l)). Information provided on the
Application (including the two
supplemental questionnaires) will be
kept confidential under exemption
(b)(6) of the Freedom of Information Act
(FOIA) to the extent that the disclosure
of information ‘‘would constitute a
clearly unwarranted invasion of
personal privacy.’’ (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(6)).
However, the release of information
such as the educational and professional
qualifications of applicants would not
likely constitute a clearly unwarranted
invasion of personal privacy and would
not be kept confidential.

System, July 24, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Purpose
OMB clearance 9000–0134 supports
the information collection requirement
contained in 52.223–9, Estimate of
Percentage of Recovered Material
Content for EPA-designated Items.
Section 6002 of the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA),
Public Law 94–580, (42 U.S.C. 6962),
requires Federal agencies to develop
affirmative procurement programs to
ensure that items composed of
recovered materials will be purchased to
the maximum extent practicable. An
agency’s affirmative procurement
program must include: (1) A recovered
materials preference program and an
agency promotion program for the
preference program; (2) a program for
requiring estimates of the total
percentage of recovered materials used
in the performance of a contract,
certification of minimum recovered
material content used, and where
appropriate and reasonable, verification
procedures for estimates and
PO 00000
Frm 00033
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
certifications; and (3) annual review and
monitoring of the effectiveness of an
agency’s affirmative procurement
program.
For items the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) has designated
as produced or that can be produced
from recovered material, agencies are
required to track the percentaage of
recovered material content used during
contract performance. This requirement
applies whenever an acquisition sets
forth minimum percentages of recovered
materials; when the price of the item
exceeds $10,000; or when the aggregate
amount paid for the item or functionally
equivalent items in the preceding fiscal
year was $10,000 or more.
Pursuant to FAR clause 52.223–9,
when the contract requires the delivery
of or use of an EPA-designated item,
contractors shall report the estimated
percentage of total recovered material
content delivered or used, at contract
completion. The clause is included in
solicitations and contracts exceeding
$150,000, except for acquisitions of
commercially-available, off-the-shelf
(COTS) items.
B. Annual Reporting Burden
Respondents: 1,047.
Responses per Respondent: 1.5.
Annual Responses: 1,571.
Hours per Response: .50.
Total Burden Hours: 785.
C. Public Comments
Public Comments are particularly
invited on: Whether this collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of functions of the Federal
Acquisition Regulation (FAR), and
whether it will have practical utility;
whether our estimate of the public
burden of this collection of information
is accurate, and based on valid
assumptions and methodology; ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of the information to be collected; and
ways in which we can minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on those who are to respond, through
the use of appropriate technilogical
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.

Requesters may obtain a copy of the
information collection documents from
