OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT


Proposed Collection; Comment Request for a Revised Information 
Collection: Mail Reinterview Form (INV10)--Previously the Ofi 10, OMB 
No. 3206-0106

AGENCY: U.S. Office of Personnel Management.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. 
L. 104-13, May 22, 1995), this notice announces that the U.S. Office of 
Personnel Management (OPM) intends to submit to the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) a request for clearance of a revised 
information collection. OPM sends the INV 10 questionnaire to a random 
sampling of record and personal sources contacted during background 
investigations when investigators have performed fieldwork. The INV 10 
is used as a quality control instrument designed to ensure the accuracy 
and integrity of the investigative product, as it inquires of the 
sources about the investigative procedure employed by the investigator, 
the investigator's professionalism, and the information discussed and 
reported. In addition to the pre-formatted response options, OPM 
invites the recipients to respond with any other relevant comments or 
suggestions. A postage-paid envelope is provided with the INV 10.
    Comments are particularly invited on:
     Whether this collection of information is necessary for 
the proper performance of functions of the Office of Personnel 
Management and its Center for Federal Investigative Services, which 
administers its background investigations;
     Whether our estimate of the public burden of this 
collection is accurate, and based on valid assumptions and methodology;
     Ways in which we can minimize the burden of the collection 
of information on those who are asked to respond, through the use of 
the appropriate technological collection techniques or other forms of 
information technology; and,
     Whether the reinterview questionnaire addresses all of the 
questions relevant to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the 
investigative product.
    It is estimated that 9,600 INV 10 forms are sent to individual 
sources annually. Of those, it is estimated that 5,600 individuals will 
respond. Each form takes approximately 6 minutes to complete. The 
estimated annual burden is 560 hours.

DATES: Comments on this proposal should be received within 60 calendar 
days from the date of this publication.
