ADDRESSES: Interested persons are
invited to submit written comments on
the proposed information collection to
the Office of Information and Regulatory
Affairs, Office of Management and
Budget, 725 17th Street NW,
Washington, DC 20503, Attention: Desk
Officer for the Office of Personnel
Management or sent via electronic mail
to oira_submission@omb.eop.gov or

at (202) 606–4808.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As
required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 OPM is soliciting comments
for this collection. The information
collection (OMB No. 3206–0226) was
previously published in the Federal
Register on March 30, 2017, at 82 FR
15724, allowing for a 60-day public
comment period. No comments were
received for this collection. The purpose
of this notice is to allow an additional
30 days for public comments. The Office
of Management and Budget is
particularly interested in comments
that:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the

proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
4. Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.
Form RI 38–128 is primarily used by
OPM to give recent retirees the
opportunity to waive Direct Deposit of
their annuity payments. The form is
sent only if the separating agency did
not give the retiring employee this
election opportunity. This form may
also be used to enroll in Direct Deposit,
which was its primary use before Public
Law 104–134 was passed. This law
requires OPM to make all recurring
benefit payments electronically to
beneficiaries who live where Direct
Deposit is available. Beneficiaries who
do not enroll in the Direct Deposit
Program will be enrolled in Direct
Express.

OPM’s Human Resources Strategy and
Evaluation Solutions performs
assessment and related consultation
activities for Federal agencies on a
reimbursable basis. The assessments are
authorized by various statutes and
regulations: Section 4702 of Title 5,
U.S.C; E.O. 12862; E.O. 13715; Section
1128 of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2004,

FR 1259, 3 CFR, 1954–1958 Comp., p.

States Code.
This collection request includes
surveys we currently use and plan to
use during the next three years to
measure agency performance, climate,
engagement, and leadership
effectiveness. OMB No. 3206–0252
covers a broad range of surveys all
focused on improving organizational
performance. Non-Federal respondents
will almost never receive more than one
of these surveys. All of these surveys
consist of Likert-type, mark-one, and
mark-all-that-apply items, and may
include a small number of open-ended
comment items. Administration of
Organizational Assessment Surveys
(OAS) typically consists of a customized
set of 50–150 standard items pulled
from an item bank of nearly 500 items.
The surveys almost always include a
small set of 5–10 custom items
developed to meet the agency’s specific
needs. The OAS is a general survey that
subsumes the Federal Employee
Viewpoint Survey (FEVS). OPM’s
Human Resources Strategy and
Evaluation Solutions administers the
FEVS for agencies to gather feedback
from employee groups not covered by
the official FEVS administration. Exit
Surveys consist of approximately 60
items that assess reasons why
employees decided to leave their
organization. Customization is possible.
The New Leaders Onboarding
Assessment (NLOA) is a combined
assessment consisting of approximately
130 items, including items measuring
organizational climate, employee
engagement, and leadership. New
Employee Surveys consist of
approximately 100 items that assess
satisfaction with the hiring, orientation,
and socialization of new employees.
Training Needs Assessment Surveys
consist of approximately 100 items that
assess an agency’s climate for training
and employees’ training preferences.

Evaluation surveys are always
customized to assess specific program
elements. Program Evaluation surveys
may contain from 20 to 200 items, with
an average of approximately 100 items.
The surveys included under OMB No.
3206–0252 are almost always
administered electronically.
