to determine the qualifications, suitability and availability of

supplied with eligibles to fill vacant positions. The information will
be used by Central Examining Office employees performing examining and
suitability duties; by subject-matter experts on rating panels; and by
agency officials making selections to fill vacancies. Collections of
information made by the Central Examining Office are related to the
filing or updating of application forms. Of the 8,299 respondents who
complete application forms annually, 4,815 complete full applications
and 3,484 merely complete forms after 12 or 18 months have elapsed
(depending on the position applied for) and to update an application
already on file. The total time required for applicants for employment
to respond to the information collection is estimated to vary from 40
to 300 minutes with an average of 120 minutes to complete a full
application, including supplemental qualifications forms when required,
and is estimated to vary from 5 to 60 minutes with an average of 30
minutes to complete forms to update an application already on file. In
addition to the forms used for the basic application there are 9 forms
which are used as notices or inquiries. These forms are issued
separately and have burden times ranging from 5 to 60 minutes with an
average of 30 minutes per response. The total time required annually
for persons to respond to collections of information is estimated at
11,372 hours.
