performance of functions of the U.S.
OPM and its Federal Investigative
Services Division, which administers
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 to
respond, through use of the appropriate
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology;
and
• Ways in which we can enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected.
The SF 85, SF 85P, SF 85PS, SF 86,
SF 86A, and SF 86C are completed by
both employees of the Federal
Government and individuals not
employed with the Federal Government,
including Federal contractors and
military personnel.
Federal employees are defined as
those individuals who are employed as
civilian or military personnel with the
Federal Government. Non-Federal
employees include members of the
general public and all individuals
employed as Federal and military
contractors, or individuals otherwise
not directly employed by the Federal
Government.
It is estimated that 45,100 non-Federal
individuals will complete the SF 85
annually. Each form takes
approximately 30 minutes to complete.
The estimated annual public burden is
22,600 hours.
It is estimated that 87,400 non-Federal
individuals will complete the SF 85P
annually. Each form takes
approximately 60 minutes to complete.
The estimated annual burden is 87,400
hours.
It is estimated that 10,600 non-Federal
individuals will complete the SF 85PS
annually. Each form takes
approximately 10 minutes to complete.
The estimated annual burden is 1,800
hours.
It is estimated that 190,100 nonFederal individuals will complete the
SF 86 annually. Each form takes
approximately 120 minutes to complete.
The estimated annual burden is 380,200
hours.
It is estimated that 16,000 non-Federal
individuals will complete the SF 86A
annually. When this continuation form
is used, however, no public burden
estimate is provided as it is included
with the time computed with the
associated security questionnaire.
It is estimated that 1,200 non-Federal
individuals will complete the SF 86C
annually. Each form takes

approximately 15 minutes to complete.
The estimated annual burden is 300
hours.
The total estimated annual number of
responses for all forms in this collection
is 350,400. The estimated annual
burden is 492,300 hours.
e-QIP (Electronic Questionnaires for
Investigations Processing) is a Webbased system application that houses
electronic versions or the SF 85, SF 85P,
SF 85PS, and SF 86. This internet data
collection tool is used in place of and
not in addition to the paper versions of
these forms. Individuals using e-QIP
will enjoy more convenience, faster
processing time, and immediate data
validation to ensure accuracy of their
personal history information. The data
requested on these forms is consistent
with that requested on their paper
counterparts. While e-QIP will
significantly enhance the processing of
security questionnaires for processing of
background investigations, we do not
expect an immediate discernable change
to the public burden hours from those
cited above for identical paper versions
of the forms. However, we expect to
have separate, estimated figures for
publication in the 30-day Federal
Register Notice.
In FY 2007, the total number of e-QIP
users totaled 622,300. This includes
40,000 submitted on the SF 85; 69,000
on the SF 85P; and 513,300 on the SF
86.

Proposed Collection; Comment
Request for Reclearance of an Expiring
Information Collection: Fingerprint

3206–0150
U.S. Office of Personnel
Management.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:

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 reclearance of an expiring information
collection (Fingerprint Charts SF 87 and
SF 87A; OMB No. 3206–0150). The
Fingerprint Charts are used in
processing fingerprint checks submitted
to the Federal Bureau of Investigation
(FBI) to assist in determining whether
an applicant is suitable for Federal
employment or should be granted a
security clearance.
The SF 87 and SF 87A are used as a
basis of any criminal history check. The
SF 87 and SF 87A are completed by
respondents for, or incumbents of,
Government positions or positions for
the Government under contract, or by
military personnel. The charts are used
as the basis for background
investigations to establish that such
persons are:
• Suitable for employment or
retention in the position;
• Suitable for employment or
retention in a public trust position;
• Suitable for employment or
retention in a national security position;
and
• Eligible for access to classified
national security information.
Comments are particularly invited on:
• Whether this information is
necessary for the proper performance of
functions of the OPM and its Federal
Investigative Services Division, which
administers background investigations;
• Whether our estimate of the public
burden of this collection of information
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 to
respond, through the use of appropriate
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology;
and
• Ways in which we can enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected.
