AGENCY:

Office of Personnel Management.

ACTION:

Notice.

SUMMARY:

In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-13, May 22, 1995), this notice announces that the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) submitted a request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review of a revised information collection for OPM Form 1300, Presidential Management Intern Program Application. Approval of the Presidential Management Intern Program (PMI) application is necessary to facilitate the timely nomination, selection and placement of Presidential Management Intern finalists in Federal agencies.

The 60-day Federal Register Notice was published on June 24, 2002 (FR Doc. 02-15805) to request comments. No comments were received. The following changes have been made to the application: (1) A cover page was added to provide application instructions, updated Privacy Act Statement and updated Public Burden Statement; (2) removed the unique control number that was pre-printed within the footer of the form that is scanned in along with the applicant's information, this has been replaced with the applicant's Social Security Number on each page; (3) added an additional occupational preference (area of work interest) to include “Transportation'; and (4) minor edits and spacing.

We estimate 2000 applications will be received and processed in the 2002/2003 open season for PMI applications. Each application takes approximately 2 hours to complete (one hour for applicants (nominees) and one hour for nominating school official(s)). The annual estimated burden is 4,000 hours.
