Proposed Collection; Comment Request for 1998 Presidential 
Management Intern Program Application

AGENCY: Office of Personnel Management.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. 
L. 104-13, May 22, 1995), this notice announces that OPM intends to 
submit a request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for 
renewal of authority to publish the 1998 Presidential Management Intern 
Program Application. The information contained in the PMI application 
is used by OPM's Employment Service to obtain nominations, and to 
screen and establish a nationwide competitive selection process. 
Applications are mailed to educational institutions at the beginning of 
each academic year. Students are nominated by their deans and 
chairpersons to compete in the PMI Program. The application is 
completed by the student (nominee) and submitted to the school official 
for review and nomination. After the initial review process, nominees 
are invited to participate in a structured assessment center process. 
Selection as a PMI Finalist is based on a review of the nominee's 
application, and participation in a structured assessment center 
process.
    It is anticipated that 2000 applications will be received and 
processed in 1998. Number of hours required for completing PMI 
application forms by graduate programs deans or chairpersons is 1 hour 
per application=2000. Number of hours required per graduate student for 
completing application form is 1 hour=2000.
    Comments are particularly invited on:

--Whether this collection of information is necessary for the proper 
performance of functions of the Office of Personnel Management, and 
whether it will have practical utility;
--Whether our estimate of the public burden of this collection of 
information is accurate, and based on valid assumptions and 
methodology; and
--Ways in which we can minimize the burden of the collection of 
information on those who are to respond, through the use of appropriate 
technological collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology.
