AGENCY:

Office of Personnel Management.

ACTION:

Notice.

SUMMARY:

In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-13), this notice announces that the Office of Personnel Management has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request for revision of an expiring information collection (Mail Reinterview Form OFI 10; OMB No. 3206-0106). OPM sends the OFI 10 questionnaire to a random sampling of record and personal sources contacted during background investigations when investigators have performed fieldwork. The OFI 10 is used as a quality control instrument designed to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the investigative product, as it inquires of the sources about the investigative procedure employed by the investigator, the investigator's professionalism, and the information discussed and reported.

It is estimated that 9,600 OFI 10 forms are sent to individual sources annually. Of those, it is estimated that 5,600 individuals respond.

We anticipate sending and receiving a similar number of OFI 10 forms in the years ahead. Each form takes approximately six minutes to complete. The estimated annual burden is 560 hours.
