Request to Inspect or Receive
Electronic Copies of Executive Branch Personnel Public Financial
Disclosure Reports, Including Periodic Transaction Reports, Filed
On Or After January 1, 2012
The proposed OGE Form 201-A, for use
only for electronic requests via an agency Web site, will collect
certain information from and provide certain information to,
persons who seek electronic access to OGE Form 278 Public Financial
Disclosure Reports, including OGE Form 278-T Periodic Transaction
Reports, filed on or after January 1. 2012. The proposed OGE Form
201-A would collect the requester's name, city, state, and country
of residence, and require that the requester acknowledge his or her
awareness of the legal uses of the information contained in public
financial disclosure reports and civil penalties for persons who
obtain or use a public financial disclosure report for a prohibited
purpose. The proposed OGE Form 201-A will also alert requesters
that intentional falsification of the information required by the
form may result in prosecution under 18 U.S.C. section 1001.
Requesters are mostly members of the public, particularly
representatives of the news media, public interest groups and
private citizens, with some Federal agencies and
employees.
OGE has determined that
its request for emergency clearance meets the standards of 5 C.F.R.
section 1320.13(a) because the passage of the STOCK Act (as
amended) required agencies to post most public financial disclosure
reports no later than December 8, 2012, which is clearly shorter
than the processing time frames called for under the PRA. This
request for emergency clearance procedures is necessary to prevent
a statutory deadline from being missed. OGE has followed guidelines
for the emergency clearance procedures at section 1320.13 and has
issued the required Federal Register notice pursuant to 5 C.F.R.
section 1320.5(a)(1)(iv). OGE has taken all practicable steps to
consult with agencies and the general public to minimize the burden
of this proposed information collection. Since the STOCK Act was
signed into law April 4, 2012, OGE has consulted with interested
agencies across the executive branch on all aspects of implementing
the Act. OGE has also met with members of several non-government
organizations and other members of the public to inform them of the
STOCK Act's provisions and OGE's plan to implement the Act. The new
IC form would require that less information be provided and be less
burdensome than agencies and the public are used to under the
current process utilizing the OGE Form 201.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
