    Title: Application for Employment with the Federal Aviation 
Administration.
    Form Numbers: There are no FAA forms associated with this 
collection. Information is collected via the Office of Personnel 
Management (OPM) online USAJOBS system and the FAA's Automated Vacancy 
Information Access Tool for Online Referral (AVIATOR) staffing tool.

    Background: Under the provisions of Public Law 104-50, the Federal

responsibility for developing and implementing its own personnel 
system. The agency requests certain information needed to determine 
basic eligibility for employment and potential eligibility for 
veteran's preference and Veteran's Readjustment Act appointments. In 
addition, occupation specific questions assist the FAA in determining 
candidates' qualifications so that only the best-qualified candidates 
may be hired for the many aviation safety-related occupations.
