SUMMARY: This notice announces the Office of Personnel Management's 
(OPM) plan to submit to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a 
request for reinstatement of a revised information collection for the 
Standard Form (SF) 15, Application for 10-Point Veteran Preference. The 
SF-15 is used by agencies, OPM examining offices, and agency appointing 
officials to adjudicate individuals' claims for veterans' preference in 
accordance with the Veterans' Preference Act of 1944. OPM's revisions 
are necessary to update language as a result of the enactment of the 
Gold Star Fathers Act of 2015, derived veterans' preference for 
parents, and to make additional corrections to the form.

DATES: Comments are encouraged and will be accepted until January 22, 
2018.

ADDRESSES: You may send or deliver comments to Kimberly A. Holden, 
Deputy Associate Director for Talent Acquisition and Workforce Shaping, 
Employee Services, U.S. Office of Personnel Management, Room 6351D, 
1900 E Street NW., Washington, DC 20415-9700; email at [email protected]; 
or fax at (202) 606-2329; and to OMB Designee, OPM Desk Officer, Office 
of Management and Budget, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, 
New Executive Office Building NW., Room 10235, Washington, DC 20503.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Office of Management and Budget is 
particularly interested in comments that:
    1. Evaluate 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. Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of 
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used;
    3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
be collected; and
    4. Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those 
who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, 
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic 
submissions of responses.

The SF 15, Application for 10-Point Veteran Preference, is used by 
veterans as both a request for preference and a guide to determine the 
appropriate documentation to submit to support their claims of 10-point 
veterans' preference when applying for Federal employment. The SF 15, 
and the accompanying documentation, is used by agencies, OPM examining 
offices, and agency appointing officials to adjudicate individuals' 
claims for veterans' preference in accordance with the Veterans' 
Preference Act of 1944. The proposed revisions to the SF 15 are 
necessary to update language as a result of the enactment of the Gold 
Star Fathers Act of 2015 (Pub. L. 114-62),

corrections on the form, as follows:

preference for parents.

certification is of an expected discharge or release from active duty 
service in the armed forces under honorable conditions not later than 
120 days after the date the certification is submitted.
     Page 2, Items C and F are corrected to reflect derived 
veterans' preference for parents.
     Several punctuation errors are corrected.

The SF 15 will continue to be available as a PDF fillable form for 
applicant use. The only acceptable version of this form will be as 
stated above, but consistent with current practice, the form may be 
submitted electronically or in hard copy. The SF 15 will be obtainable
