Information Collection Request

Title: U.S. Coast Guard Non-Appropriated Fund Employment

Application.

OMB Control Number: 1625-0120.

Summary: The USCG Non-Appropriated Fund Employment Application form

is used to collect applicant qualification information associated with

vacancy announcements. The form allows individuals to apply for

employment opportunities with the Coast Guard Non-appropriated fund

(NAF) workforce and fills the gap created by the cancellation of the

Optional Application for Federal Employment, Form OF-612, OMB No. 3206-

0219.

Need: The U.S. Coast Guard rates applicants under the authority of

5 U.S.C. 301, 1104, 1302, 3301, and 3304. The Optional Application for

Federal Employment, Form OF-612, was cancelled and the information is

now collected in USA Jobs. The NAF personnel system does not utilize

USA Jobs because of the high cost and high turnover rate and thus

relied heavily on form OF-612 for applicants.

Forms: CG-1227B, Non-Appropriated Fund Employment Application.

Respondents: Public applying for positions with the USCG Non-

appropriated fund workforce.

Frequency: Per vacancy announcements.

Hour Burden Estimate: The estimated burden remains 4,333 a year.

The reporting requirements and the methodology for calculating burden,

remain unchanged.

Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. chapter

35, as amended.

Dated: September 12, 2024.

Kathleen Claffie,

Chief, Office of Privacy Management, U.S. Coast Guard.
