Burden Reduction Due to:
Short Statement:
The annual burden hours and corresponding hour cost have increased. This is due to three developments: (1) an increase in the Federal minimum wage from $7.25 to $15 per hour; (2) an increase in the number of information requests submitted using NA Form 13068, Walk-In Request for OPM Records or Information, because, prior to this renewal, there was not a research room to accept these requests; and (3) we are adding requests for this same information that we receive by means other than the itemized forms. These forms are not mandatory, and we try to reduce respondent burden by permitting people to submit requests for personnel or medical records by whatever means is easiest for them. The number of requests by other methods has increased significantly over time, and more so during COVID, so we are updating the information collection to include these non-form requests as well. We have also kept our estimates of the number of requests of all types based on pre-COVID levels because the number recorded during COVID has dropped due to staff not being on-site to process them. We anticipate that the numbers will rise to pre-COVID levels during this three-year renewal period, though that might not occur for another year or more. We erred on the side of using the larger estimates so as not to inadvertently underestimate the burden. The materials costs have also increased due to an increase in the cost of stamps since the last renewal and the addition of non-form requests.
