ACTION: 30-Day notice and request for comments. ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES AGENCY: The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is notifying the general public and other Federal agencies that OPM proposes to request the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approve a new information collection request (ICR) titled Personnel Vetting Questionnaire (PVQ). The proposed information collection will SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:58 Feb 27, 2023 Jkt 259001 streamline multiple existing information collections, as well as the renewal cycle for them, commensurate with on-going efforts to improve personnel vetting processes and the experience of individuals undergoing personnel vetting. OPM is proposing to discontinue the information collections for OMB control numbers 3206–0261, 3206–0258, and 3206–0005 as these information collections will become parts of the new Personnel Vetting Questionnaire information collection and assigned a new OMB control number. Comments are encouraged and will be accepted until March 30, 2023.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: A copy of this ICR, with applicable supporting documentation, may be obtained by email to SuitEAforms@ opm.gov, or by contacting Alexys Stanley, 202–606–1800, or U.S. Office of Personnel Management, Suitability Executive Agent Programs, P.O. Box 699, Slippery Rock, PA 16057. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice announces that OPM has submitted to OMB a request for approval of a new information request, Personnel Vetting Questionnaire (PVQ) (OMB No. 3206–XXXX). The information collection (OMB No. 3206– XXXX) was previously published in the Federal Register on November 23, 2022 at 87 FR 71700, allowing for a 60-day public comment period (‘‘60-day Notice’’). OPM received approximately 280 comments from 55 commenters in response to its request for this collection, which are addressed in the Supplemental Statement of this ICR package. 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 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; DATES: PO 00000 Frm 00057 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 12703 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. Background On November 23, 2022, OPM published 87 FR 71700 requesting comment for the new PVQ information collection. OPM received 55 submissions (5 of which were duplicate submissions) containing approximately 280 comments. Multiple comments were received on the following topics: • Collection of sex or gender information • Collection of information regarding past use of marijuana • Consolidation of multiple vetting questionnaires into the PVQ • Collection and adjudication of information regarding mental health • Collection and adjudication on foreign contacts and interests In addition, multiple comments requested minor edits to the proposed questions for clarity or to correct formatting or punctuation. Finally, a number of comments addressed Federal policies and fell outside the scope of comment on the proposed information collection. All comments received are addressed in a spreadsheet included as supporting documentation in the ICR package. Comments Regarding Collection of Sex and Gender Information Unlike the current investigative questionnaires, the PVQ will not require the respondent to indicate ‘‘Male’’ or ‘‘Female,’’ and the PVQ uses gender inclusive terminology, such as parent and sibling, rather than terms that are not gender inclusive, such as mother, father, sister, brother. Eight of eleven comments received regarding OPM’s approach to collection of information about sex and gender favored the approach. OPM received three comments opposing OPM’s proposal to eliminate the requirement to indicate ‘‘male’’ or ‘‘female.’’ One commenter was concerned about the impact on data checks. OPM previously addressed this potential concern in the 60-day Notice. Another commenter expressed concern that the proposed collection does not require individuals to report transition as, in their opinion, it ‘‘could be E:\FR\FM\28FEN1.SGM 28FEN1
