OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT


Comment Request for Review of a Revised Information Collection: 
Leadership Assessment Surveys

AGENCY: U.S. Office of Personnel Management.

ACTION: 60-Day notice and request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) intends to submit to 
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request for review of a 
currently approved collection, Leadership Assessment Surveys. OPM is 
requesting approval of the OPM Leadership 360^TM, Leadership 
Potential Assessment, and the Leadership Profiler as a part of this 
collection. Approval of these surveys is necessary to collect 
information on Federal agency performance and leadership effectiveness.

DATES: Comments are encouraged and will be accepted until November 21, 
2017.

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are invited to submit written comments on 
the proposed information collection to Human Resources Strategy and 
Evaluation Solutions, Office of Personnel Management, 1900 E Street 
NW., Washington, DC 20415, Attention: Coty Hoover, or via email to 
[email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: A copy of this ICR, with applicable 
supporting documentation, may be obtained by contacting Human Resources 
Strategy and Evaluation Solutions, Office of Personnel Management, 1900 
E Street NW., Washington, DC 20415, Attention: Coty Hoover, or via 
email to [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As required by the Paperwork Reduction Act 
of 1995, (Pub. L. 104-13, 44 U.S.C. chapter 35) as amended by the 
Clinger-Cohen Act (Pub. L. 104-106), OPM is soliciting comments for 
this collection. The previous collection (OMB No. 3206-0253, published 
in the Federal Register on December 26, 2013 at 78 FR 248) has an 
emergency clearance (published in the Federal Register on May 5, 2017 
at 82 FR 21273) that expires January 31, 2018. Comments are 
particularly invited on:
    1. Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for 
the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including 
whether the information will have practical utility;
    2. Whether our estimate of the public burden of this collection is 
accurate, and based on valid assumptions and methodology; and
    3. Ways in which we can minimize the burden of the collection of 
information on those who are to respond, through the use of the 
appropriate technological collection techniques or other forms of 
information technology.
    OPM's Human Resources Strategy and Evaluation Solutions perform 
assessments and related consultation activities for Federal agencies on 
a reimbursable basis. The assessments are authorized by various 
statutes and regulations: Section 4702 of Title 5, U.S.C; E.O. 12862; 
E.O. 13715; Section 1128 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2004, Public Law 108-136; 5 U.S.C. 1101 note, 1103(a)(5), 
1104, 1302, 3301, 3302, 4702, 7701 note; E.O. 13197, 66 FR 7853, 3 CFR 
748 (2002); E.O. 10577, 12 FR 1259, 3 CFR, 1954-1958 Comp., p. 218; and 
Section 4703 of Title 5, United States Code.
    This collection request includes surveys we currently use and plan 
to use during the next three years to measure Federal leaders' 
effectiveness. These surveys all measure leadership characteristics. 
Non-Federal respondents will almost never receive more than one of 
these surveys. All of these surveys consist of Likert-type, mark-one, 
and mark-all-that-apply items, and may include a small number of open-
ended comment items. OPM's Leadership 360^TM assessment 
measures the 28 competencies that comprise the five Executive Core 
Qualifications and Fundamental Competencies in the OPM leadership 
model. The assessment consists of 116 items. The assessment is almost 
never customized, although customization to meet an agency's needs is 
possible. OPM's Leadership Potential Assessment consists of 104 items 
focused on identifying individuals ready to move into supervisory 
positions. OPM's Leadership Profiler consists of 245 items that measure 
leadership personality characteristics within a ``Big 5'' framework. 
These assessments are almost always administered electronically.
