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. 3501
et seq.,
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. These comments will help OIRA determine whether to approve the ICR referred to in this Notice.
We encourage you to respond to this request by submitting comments and related materials. Comments to Coast Guard or OIRA must contain the OMB Control Number of the ICR. They must also contain the docket number of this request, USCG-2024-0782, and must be received by January 16, 2025.

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 5 U.S.C. 301, 1104, 1302, 3301, and 3304. 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 remains 4,333 a year. The reporting requirements and the methodology for calculating burden, remain unchanged.
Authority:
The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C.
et seq.,
chapter 35, as amended.
Dated: December 12, 2024.
Kathleen Claffie,
Chief, Office of Privacy Management, U.S. Coast Guard.
