requirements for recruitments conducted at approximately 170 U.S. 
embassies and consulates throughout the world. Current employment 
application forms do not meet the unique requirements of Mission 
recruitment (e.g., language skills and hiring preferences) under the FS 
Act of 1980 and 22 U.S.C. 2669(c). The DS-0174 is needed to improve 
data gathering and to clarify interpretation of candidate responses.
    Methodology:
    Candidates for employment use the DS-0174 to apply for Mission-
advertised positions throughout the world. Mission recruitments 
generate approximately 40,000 applications per year. Data that HR and 
hiring officials extract from the DS-0174 determines eligibility for 
employment, qualifications for the position, and selections according 
to Federal policies.
