SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Public Participation and Request for Comments

    This Notice relies on the authority of the Paperwork Reduction Act 
of 1995; 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended. An ICR is an application to 
OIRA seeking the approval, extension, or renewal of a Coast Guard 
collection of information (Collection). The ICR contains information 
describing the Collection's purpose, the Collection's likely burden on 
the affected public, an explanation of the necessity of the Collection, 
and other important information describing the Collection. There is one 
ICR for each Collection.
    The Coast Guard invites comments on whether this ICR should be 
granted based on the Collection being necessary for the proper 
performance of Departmental functions. In particular, the Coast Guard 
would appreciate comments addressing: (1) The practical utility of the 
Collection; (2) the accuracy of the estimated burden of the Collection; 
(3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of information 
subject to the Collection; and (4) ways to minimize the burden of the 
Collection on respondents, including the use of automated collection 
techniques or other forms of information technology. In response to 
your comments, we may revise this ICR or decide not to seek an 
extension of approval for the Collection. We will consider all comments 
and material received during the comment period.
    We encourage you to respond to this request by submitting comments 
and related materials. Comments must contain the OMB Control Number of 
the ICR and the docket number of this request, [USCG-2017-0009], and 
must be received by December 19, 2017.

Information Collection Request

    Title: U.S. Coast Guard Non-appropriated Fund Employment 
Application.
    OMB Control Number: 1625-0120.
    Summary: The USCG Non-Appropriated Fund Employment Application form 
is used to collect applicant qualification information associated with 
vacancy announcements. The form allows individuals to apply for 
employment opportunities with the Coast Guard Non-appropriated Fund 
(NAF) workforce and fills the gap created by the cancellation of the 
optional Application for Federal Employment, form OF-612, OMB No. 3206-
0219.
    Need: The U.S. Coast Guard rates applicants under the authority of 
Title 5 of U.S. Code, Sections 1104, 2103, 3301 and 3320. The Optional 
Application for Federal Employment, Form OF-612, was cancelled and the 
information is now collected in USA Jobs. The NAF personnel system does 
not utilize USA Jobs because of the high cost and high turnover rate 
and thus relied heavily on form OF-612 for applicants.
    Forms: CG-1227B, Non-Appropriated Fund Employment Application.
    Respondents: Public applying for positions with the USCG Non-
appropriated fund workforce.
    Frequency: Per vacancy announcements.
    Hour Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has decreased from 8,400 
hours to 3,837 hours a year due to a decrease in the estimated annual 
number of respondents.

    Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. 
Chapter 35, as amended.

    Dated: October 16, 2017.
