SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title and Form Number: VA Police Officer Pre-Employment Screening
Checklist, VA Form 0120 (formerly VA Form 10-0120).
OMB Control Number: 2900-0524.
Type of Review: Reinstatement, without change, of a previously
approved collection for which approval has expired.
Abstract: Each VA medical center has authority to hire its own VA
police officers. Prior to employment of a qualified applicant, each
facility is required to conduct an FBI arrest record inquiry and to
contact listed former employers for a determination of any adverse
performance or suitability information. VA Form 0120 is completed by
each VA facility human resources office and serves as the record of
pre-employment screening to determine the qualifications and
suitability of the applicant. The Office of Security and Law
Enforcement reviews each completed form and authorizes the VA police
badge set issuance only in those instances where screening
documentation is satisfactory accomplished. The form serves as a
standard means of ensuring the completion of the pre-employment
process.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number. The Federal Register Notice with a
60-day comment period soliciting comments on this collection of
information was published on March 12, 1996 at page 10062.
Affected Public: State, Local or Tribal Government, Business or
other for-profit, and Federal Government.
Estimated Annual Burden: 250 hours.
Estimated Average Burden Per Respondent: 10 minutes.
Frequency of Response: Generally one-time.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,500.
Send comments and recommendations concerning any aspect of the
information collection to VA's OMB Desk Officer, Allison Eydt, OMB
Human Resources and Housing Branch, New Executive Office Building, Room
10235, Washington, DC 20503 (202) 395-4650. Please refer to OMB Control
No. 2900-0524 in any correspondence.
Dated: May 15, 1997.
By direction of the Secretary.
