OFFICE OF SPECIAL COUNSEL
OSC Annual Survey
U.S. Office of Special Counsel.
Notice for public comment;
information collection.

AGENCY:
ACTION:

The U.S. Office of Special
Counsel (OSC), seeks approval from the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for use of a survey that differs
only slightly from previously approved
information collections. OSC is
requesting emergency approval for the
annual survey, which by statute must be
completed by the end of FY2020.
Following a one-year pilot-project
survey in 2019, OSC now resumes its
annual survey to collect feedback from
those who have contacted OSC for
assistance, either by filing complaints
and/or disclosures with OSC, or by
seeking Hatch Act Advisory Opinions.
This OSC annual survey consists of four
electronic questionnaires (one for each
type of assistance an individual can
seek from OSC), each asking between
five and ten questions. OSC invites
comments on: The accuracy of OSC’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collections of information; ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of the information to be collected; and
ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents.

SUMMARY:

Written comments should be
received on or before September 21,
2020. However, pursuant to 5 CFR
1320.13, OSC is requesting OMB’s
emergency approval by August 26, 2020.

Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 163 / Friday, August 21, 2020 / Notices
Therefore, comments are best assured of
having full effect if received by OMB
within 5 days of this notice’s
publication in the Federal Register.
ADDRESSES: You may submit written
comments by mail to: Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs,
Office of Management and Budget,
Attention: Desk Officer for OSC, New
Executive Office Building, Room 10235,
Washington, DC 20503; or by email via:
[email protected].
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Amy Beckett, Senior Litigation Counsel,
by telephone at (202) 804–7000, or by
email at [email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OSC is a
permanent independent federal
investigative and prosecutorial agency.
OSC’s basic authorities come from four
federal statutes: The Civil Service
Reform Act, the Whistleblower
Protection Act, the Hatch Act, and the
Uniformed Services Employment &
Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA).
OSC’s primary mission is to safeguard
the merit system by protecting federal
employees and applicants from
prohibited personnel practices,
especially reprisal for whistleblowing,
and to serve as a safe channel for
allegations of wrongdoing. OSC is
required to conduct an annual survey of
individuals who seek its assistance.
OSC conducts an annual survey
pursuant to Section 13 of Public Law
103–424 (1994), codified at 5 U.S.C.
1212 note, which states, in part: ‘‘[T]he
survey shall—(1) determine if the
individual seeking assistance was fully
apprised of their rights; (2) determine
whether the individual was successful
either at the Office of Special Counsel
or the Merit Systems Protection Board;
and (3) determine if the individual,
whether successful or not, was satisfied
with the treatment received from the
Office of Special Counsel.’’ The statute
requires OSC to publish the survey’s
results in OSC’s annual report to
Congress. Copies of prior years’ annual
reports are available on OSC’s website,
at https://osc.gov/Pages/ResourcesReportsAndInfo.aspx or by calling OSC
at (202) 804–7000. The prior OSC
Annual Survey, OMB Control Number
3255–0003, expired on October 31,
2017. The 2019 Pilot Project Survey,
OMB Control Number 3255–0007,
expired on March 31, 2020.
OSC will use the questionnaires to
survey all persons who contacted OSC
for assistance during the relevant time
period.
OSC is requesting emergency
approval of this modified collection of
information, because by statute OSC
must complete and review the annual

Jkt 250001

survey by the end of FY2020, less than
45 days from the date of this Notice,
well before the normal expiration
periods; because obtaining the survey
responses is essential to OSC’s mission
and must also be provided to Congress
in OSC’s annual report; and because
OSC faced an unanticipated event with
office disruptions due to the
Coronavirus pandemic preventing
earlier publication.
The survey questionnaires are
available for review on line at https://
osc.gov/Resources/Pages/
Reports.aspx#tabGroup07 or by calling
OSC at (202) 804–7000.
Type of Information Collection
Request: The survey seeks to determine
whether individuals seeking assistance
were fully apprised of their rights; were
successful either at OSC or the MSPB;
and whether successful or not, were
satisfied with the treatment they
received from OSC.
Affected public: Individuals (or their
representatives) who sought OSC
services through: (1) Submitting
complaints alleging prohibited
personnel practice, USERRA violations,
or Hatch Act violations; (2) disclosures
of information alleging violation of law,
rule, or regulation, gross
mismanagement or waste of funds,
abuse of authority, substantial and
specific danger to public health and/or
safety, or censorship related to scientific
research; or (3) seeking Hatch Act
advisory opinions.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Estimated Annual Number of Survey
Form Respondents: 600.
Frequency of Survey form use: Onetime.
Estimated Average Amount of Time
for a Person to Respond to survey: 5.5
minutes.
Estimated Annual Survey Burden: 55
hours.
Dated: August 17, 2020.
