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 information collection was previously published in 
the Federal Register on 09/22/2017 at 82 FR 44472 allowing for a 60 day 
public comment period. No comments were received for this information 
collection (OMB No. 3206-0253). The purpose of this notice is to allow 
an additional 30 days for public comments. 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 performs 
assessment 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 360TM 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.

Analysis

    OMB Number: 3206-0253.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Affected Public: Individuals and government contractors.
    Number of Respondents: Approximately 24,030.
