Overview of This Information Collection

    1. Type of Information Collection (check justification or form 83): 
New collection.
    2. The Title of the Form/Collection: Form USM-234, District/
Aviation Security Officers (DSO/ASO) Personal Qualifications Statement
    3. The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of 
the Department sponsoring the collection:

    4. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as 
well as a brief abstract:
    Primary: District/Aviation Security Officers Job Applicants
    Abstract: This form will primarily be used to collect applicant 
reference information. Reference checking is an objective evaluation of 
an applicant's past job performance based on information collected from 
key individuals (e.g., supervisors, peers, subordinates) who have known 
and worked with the applicant. Reference checking is a necessary 
supplement to the evaluation of resumes and other descriptions of 
training and experience, and allows the selecting official to hire 
applicants with a strong history of performance. The questions on this 
form have been developed following the OPM, MSPB, and DOJ ``Best 
Practice'' guidelines for reference checking.
    5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of 
time estimated for an average respondent to respond: An estimated 1000 
respondents will utilize the form, and it will take each respondent 
approximately 60 minutes to complete the form.

    6. An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated 
with the collection: The estimated annual public burden associated with 
this collection is 1000 hours, which is equal to 1000 (total # of 
annual responses) * 60 minutes.
