Abstract: We are implementing a new recruitment initiative by which we work to connect people who are 30 percent-or-more disabled veterans or are Schedule A-eligible with non-competitive employment opportunities within our agency. OPM’s Schedule A hiring authority permits Federal agencies to non-competitively hire people with intellectual, severe physical, or psychiatric disabilities who have demonstrated satisfactory performance through a temporary or permanent appointment, or have been certified as likely to succeed in performing the duties of the job. Candidates under the Schedule A hiring authority (5 CFR 213.3102(u)) can be appointed on a temporary or permanent basis. Though not specifically for veterans, agencies can use the Schedule A hiring authority to appoint eligible veterans and others with such disabilities to positions for which they are qualified as outlined above. Our recruitment initiative for 30 percent-or-more disabled veterans also allows us to non-competitively appoint any veteran with a 30 percent-or-more service-connected disability. Eligible veterans include: ● veterans who retired from active military service with a service-connected disability rating of 30 percent or more; OR ● veterans who have a rating by the Department of Veterans Affairs showing a compensable service-connected disability of 30 percent or more. Our Special Placement Program Coordinator (SPPC) serves as a liaison between the applicant and NARA managers and supervisors to find viable employment opportunities for Schedule A-eligible people and veterans. SPPC has developed a Resumé Repository (retained in a spreadsheet) to store resumés of qualified individuals who may meet our hiring needs. The Repository helps our agency find highly motivated veterans and Schedule A candidates who are eager to demonstrate their abilities in the workplace through excepted service positions, which could become permanent positions after trial period requirements have been met. We are going to automate collecting the information for the Repository through an online Google form, NARA Employment Interest Questionnaire, NA Form 3102.

Short Statement: We estimate the number of respondents for NA Form 3102 to be upwards of 300 per year. We base this estimate on the annual activity we’ve received in the Schedule A/Veterans disability employment email box. We received 151 submissions in FY 2024 and 77 submissions in FY 2025 (a hiring freeze was in place for much of this time) uploaded into the resume repository. We estimate the total hour burden at 25, based on each form taking no more than five minutes to read and complete (600 responses x 0.0833 hours per form).
