Submission for Review: SF-15 Application for 10-Point Veteran
Preference
AGENCY: Office of Personnel Management.
ACTION: 30-Day Notice and request for comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub.
L. 104-13, May 22, 1995), this notice announces the Office of Personnel
Management's (OPM) plan to submit to the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) a request for clearance of a revised information
collection, Standard Form (SF) 15, Application for 10-Point Veteran
Preference. The SF-15 is used by agencies, OPM examining offices, and
agency appointing officials to adjudicate individuals' claims for
veterans' preference in accordance with the Veterans' Preference Act of
1944. OPM's revisions will (1) remove obsolete items; and (2) update
language as a result of the enactment of the VOW (Veterans Opportunity
to Work) to Hire Heroes Act of 2011 (Pub. L. 112-56). The SF-15 will be
revised to create a PDF fillable form for applicant use. The only
acceptable version of this form will be as stated above, but consistent
with current practice, the form may be submitted electronically or in
hard copy. Upon publication, please destroy any prior versions you have
in stock. The SF-15 will be obtainable on the OPM Web site at http://www.opm.gov/forms/standard-forms/. No comments were received for this
information 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 OPM, including
whether the information will have practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of OPM'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.
DATES: Comments are encouraged and will be accepted until November 29,
2013. This process is conducted in accordance with 5 CFR 1320.1.
