f SUPPORTING STATEMENT l

l For NRC Form 563, " Applicant Self-Assessment" (OMB Clearance No. 3150-

)

Description of Information Collection This form will be used to collect uniform information from external applicants as to which specific technical specialties they possess that are unique to the needs of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).

A.

Justification t

1.

Need for the Collection of Information Information requested on the Applicant Self-Assessment will be used in conjunction with an automated applicant review system to match an applicant's self-identified technical specialties with i

those required by a selecting official when an engineering or scientific vacant position is to be filled.

It will provide an applicant who possesses the types of technical specialties required by NRC positions with a means to identify those i

specialties, as well as provide the NRC with an accurate and consistent way to code and record these specialties for future referral to. selecting officials. This will ensure that external applicants are fairly and properly considered for technical position vacancies for which they have self-identified having the I

requisite skills.

2.

Agency Use of Information s

The Applicant Self-Assessment will be requested from basically qualified external applicants applying for engineering and scientific positions with the NRC. The information obtained on the Applicant Self-Assessment will be entered in coded form into an automated applicant review system by the Office of Personnel staff. The information will then be used to match applicants' self-identified technical specialties with those required by selecting officials when a vacant position is to be filled. The application material of identified applicants will be forwarded to rating and selecting officials for consideration.

3.

Reduction of Burden Through Information Technoloav l

There are no legal obstacles to reducing the burden associated with this information collection through the use of information technology. The non-recurrence of each individual collection makes it difficult to reduce the burden through use of technology.

However, the NRC encourages the respondents to use any innovative technology which would reduce burden.

s 2

4.

Effort to Identify Duolication i

The Information Requirements Control Automated System (IRCAS) was searched to identify duplication. None was found.

i 5.

Effort to Use Similar Information The Applicant Self-Assessment will be requested from external y

applicants at the time their initial application for employment is received in NRC's Office of Personnel. The specific information requested on the Applicant Self-Assessment is not available in this precise format from any other application document.

Applications for employment are initially reviewed by Office of Personnel Staff who are not " technical" experts, and who therefore may not extract complete information on specific technical specialties from general summaries of employment as provided on the SF-171, " Application for Federal Employment." Due to the unique technical specialties required for NRC engineering and scientific positions, it is critical that uniform information be collected from all applicants as to which skills they possess to assure they are fairly and properly considered for vacant positions for which they qualify. This information is available only from the individual applicant. The information obtained will be entered into an automated system accessible by Office of 3

Personnel staff, eliminating the need to request this information j

each time an individual applies for employment with the NRC.

~

6.

Effort to Reduce Small Business Burden Not applicable.

7.

Consecuences of less Frecuent Collection Not collecting this information could result in external applicants not being fairly and properly considered for all vacancies for which they are technically qualified.

8.

Circumstances Which Justify Variation from OMB Guidelines This request does not vary from OMB guidelines.

9.

Consultations Outside of NRC 1

There were no consultations outside of NRC.

10.

Confidentiality of Information This information will be accessible only by NRC staff responsible for recruitment and staffing.
