As part of the application process for consideration as a candidate for United States Park Police Officer positions, we collect information from applicants during the Pre-employment Suitability Determination Phase of the application process to narrow the list of potential candidates who are qualified to move to the next phase of the application process. The USPP application process consists of 6 phases: (1) Application via USAJobs.com; (2) Pre-employment Suitability Determination; (3) written examination; (4) oral interview; (5) physical and psychological evaluations; and (6) physical fitness and agility tests. Background clearances are not initiated until the candidate has successfully passed all six (6) phases of the USPP application process.
This is an existing collection with seven (7) new forms added which were in use without approval. USPP Form 1 was previously approved under 1024-0245 but is now officially re-designated as NPS Form 10-2201. The remaining seven (7) forms which were in use without OMB approval are assigned form numbers 10-2201A through 10-2201F.
With the submission of the additional forms in use without approval, we are reporting an increase of 12.515 annual responses and a reduction of 207 burden hours. The estimate of 8 hours previously reported for this collection included the time for the applicants to complete the entire package (Form 10-2201 and the forms in use without approval) despite the additional forms not being submitted for approval. The reduction in our burden hour estimate is due to the reduced completion time of the forms. The reduced time is based on comments received during the outreach process and on past experience administering this collection. Additionally, the revised forms are more streamlined and more easily fillable in the MS Word format which should help to reduce time spent completing them.
We are also reporting an increase in the nonhour annual cost burden of $11,252. This increase is due to increased costs associated with providing the required supporting documentation, as well as notary fees and costs associated with making copies of the documents.
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.
