OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT


Submission for OMB Emergency Review and 60-Day Notice for Comment 
for Existing Information Collection Requests

AGENCY: Office of Personnel Management (OPM).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has submitted to the 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request for emergency clearance 
and review for existing information collection requests for the 
following OPM surveys: Customer Satisfaction Survey; Organizational 
Assessment Survey, Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey, Exit Survey, and 
New Leaders Onboarding Assessment; and the OPM Leadership 
360TM. Approval of these surveys is necessary to collect 
information on Federal agency performance, climate, engagement, and 
leadership effectiveness. This also serves as the 60-Day Notice for 
review for full clearance.

DATES: Comments will be accepted until July 5, 2017.

ADDRESSES: Send or deliver comments to: Andrea Zappone, HR Strategy and 
Evaluation Solutions, U.S. Office of Personnel Management, 1900 E 
Street NW., Washington, DC 20415.
    For Information Regarding Administrative Coordination Contact: 
Charles Cutshall, Office of Management and Budget, Office of 
Information and Regulatory Affairs, New Executive Office Building NW., 
Room 10235, Washington, DC 20503.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Emergency clearance is requested given the 
current forms (Customer Satisfaction Survey (OMB No. 3206-0236); 
Organizational Assessment Survey, Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey, 
Exit Survey, and New Leaders Onboarding Assessment (OMB No. 3206-0252); 
and the OPM Leadership 360TM (3206-0253)) expire July 31, 
2017 and continuation of operations is necessary. We respectfully 
request OMB take action within 5 calendar days from the close of this 
Federal Register Notice on the request for emergency review. During the 
six-month extension, approximately 30,000 non-Federal respondents will 
complete the Customer Satisfaction Survey, 23,000 will complete one of 
the organizational assessments, and 2,000 will complete the OPM 
Leadership 360TM. We estimate it will take 7 minutes on 
average to complete a Customer Satisfaction Survey; 13 minutes to 
complete one of the organizational assessments; and 15 minutes to 
complete an OPM Leadership 360TM. Electronic submissions are 
processed through secure government Web sites maintained by OPM. The 
total estimated burden is 8,983 hours (3,500 for the Customer 
Satisfaction Survey; 4,983 for the organizational assessments; and 500 
for the OPM Leadership 360TM).
    Comments are particularly invited on:
     whether this information is necessary and will have 
practical utility for the proper performance of functions of the Office 
of Personnel Management and its client agencies on whose behalf the 
Office Personnel Management administers the surveys;
     whether our estimate of the public burden of these 
collections of information is accurate, and based on valid assumptions 
and methodology; and
     ways in which we can minimize the burden of these 
collections of information on those who are to respond, through the use 
of appropriate technological collection techniques or other forms of 
information technology.
    For copies of this proposal, contact Human Resources Strategy and 
Evaluation Solutions, Office of Personnel Management, 1900 E. Street 
NW., Washington, DC 20415, Attention: Andrea Zappone, or via email to 
[email protected]. Please include your complete mailing 
address or email address with your request.

Kathy McGettigan,
Acting Director, US Office of Personnel Management.
