V SUPPORTING STATEMENT For NRC Form 563," Applicant Self-Assessment" (OMB Clearance Number 3150-0177)
Reinstatement Descriotion of Information Collection This form will be used to collect uniform information from extemal applicants as to which specific technical specialties they possess that are unique to the needs of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).
A.
Justification 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 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 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 extemal applicants are fairly and properly considered for technical position vacancies for which they have self-identified having the requisite skills.
2.
Acency Use of Information The Applicant Self-Assessment will be requested from basically qualified extemal applicants applying for tsngineering an scientific positions with the NRC. The information obtained on the Applicant Self-Assessment will be entered in coued form into an automated applicant review systems by 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 applicant material of identified applicants will be forwarded to rating and selecting officials for consideration.
3.
Reduction of Burden Throuah Information Technoloav There are no legal obstacles to reducing the burden associated with this information collection through the use of information technology.
The no-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.
4.
Effort to identify Duolication and Use Similar information The Information Requirements Control Automated System (IRCAS) was
l l
searched to identify duplication, none was found. The Applicant Self-l Assessment will be requested from extemal 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 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 other Federal Employment Application materials. 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 ensure they are fairly and properly considered for vacart 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 Personnel staff, eliminating the need to request this information each time an individual applies for employment with the NRC.
5.
Effod to Reduce Small Business Burden Not apr" cable.
6.
Consecuences to Federal Prooram or Policy Activities if the Collection is not Conducted or is Conducted less Frecuentiv Not collecting this information could result in external applicants not being fairly and properly considered for all vacancies for which they are technically qualified. Collecting this information less frequently would make consideration for employment inconsistent since normally reliable self-assessment information may not be available in a timely manner for all applicants.
7.
Circumstances Which Justifv Variation from OMB Guidelines This request does not vary from OMB guidelines.
8.
Consultations Outside of NRC On December 27,1996, the NRC published a Federal Register Notice (61 FR 68308) of pending NRC action to submit an information collection request to OMB and solicitation of public comments. No comments were received.
