SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OPM is soliciting comments for this collection as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–13 44 U.S.C. chapter 35) as amended by the ClingerCohen Act (Pub. L. 104–106). OPM 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 FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: PO 00000 Frm 00084 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 33943 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. Background The Questionnaire for National Security Positions, Standard Form 86 (SF 86) is completed by civilian employees of the Federal Government, military personnel, and non-federal employees, including general contractors and individuals otherwise not directly employed by the Federal Government but who perform work for or on behalf of the Federal Government. For applicants for civilian Federal employment, the SF 86 is to be used only after a conditional offer of employment has been made. The Electronic Questionnaires for Investigations Processing (e-QIP) is a web-based system application that houses the SF 86. A variable in assessing burden hours is the nature of the electronic application. The electronic application includes branching questions and instructions which provide for a tailored collection from the respondent based on varying factors in the respondent’s personal history. The burden on the respondent is reduced when the respondent’s personal history is not relevant to particular questions, since the question branches, or expands for additional details, only for those persons who have pertinent information to provide regarding that line of questioning. Accordingly, the burden on the respondent will vary depending on whether the information collection relates to the respondent’s personal history. OPM recommends renewal of the form without any proposed changes. This recommendation is due to the forthcoming plan to replace the SF–86 with the Personnel Vetting Questionnaire, which is currently under review for approval by the Office of Management and Budget (87 FR 71700 and 88 FR 12703).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PO 00000 Frm 00085 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 I. Background This notice is in accordance with the Privacy Act requirement that agencies publish their systems of records in the Federal Register when there is a revision, change, or addition, or when the agency establishes a new system of records. The Postal Service is proposing to modify the following SORs to support competition-based performance analysis to support productivity and team collaboration: • USPS SOR 100.200 Employee Performance Records • USPS SOR 830.000 Customer Service and Correspondence II. Rationale for Changes to USPS Privacy Act Systems of Records The Postal Service continuously seeks to improve its efficiency and improve productivity. To that end, the Postal Service seeks to implement a customer relationship management software application that takes existing sales employee data, customer metrics, and employee goal data, and creates a dashboard to improve accountability and promote friendly competition amongst team members. This application will allow managers to set metrics and establish targeted goals, then allow employees to view their status on those goals. To support the implementation of this application, the Postal Service will revise two Systems of Records to reflect this initiative. USPS 100.200 Employee Performance Records will be revised to reflect the performance tracking and metric capabilities of the new application. USPS 100.200 will be modified as follows: —Two new purposes, 5 and 6 —Two new Categories of Records, 4 and 5 USPS 830.000 will be revised to reflect the integration with existing workplace and Customer Relationship Management data. USPS 830.000 will be modified as follows: —System Location has been revised to reflect updated organization name —Three new purposes, 8 through 10 —Additions to Categories of Individuals to reflect the new collection points —Two new Categories of Records, 7 and 8 —Record Source Categories has been modified to reflect the new method of data collection —Policies of Practices for Retrieval of Records has been updated to reflect the new methods of retrievability —Policies And Practices For Retention And Disposal Of Records has been E:\FR\FM\25MYN1.SGM 25MYN1
