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) intends to submit a request to the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) for renewal of authority to collect data 
for the Monthly Report of Federal Civilian Employment (SF 113-A). The 
information that is collected provides a timely count of Governmentwide 
employment, payroll, and turnover data. Uses of the data include 
monthly reporting to OMB and publishing the bimonthly Federal Civilian 
Workforce Statistics--Employment and Trends; answering data requests 
from the Congress, White House, other Federal agencies, the media, and 
the public; Providing employment counts required by OMB; and serving as 
benchmark data for quality control of the Central Personnel Data File. 
The number of responding agencies is 130. The report is submitted 12 
times a year. The total number of person-hours required by the 130 
agencies to prepare and transmit the reports annually is estimated at 
3,120.
    Comments are particularly invited on:

--Whether this collection of information is necessary for the proper 
performance of functions of the Office of Personnel Management, and 
whether it will have practical utility;
--Whether our estimate of the public burden of this collection is 
accurate, and based on valid assumptions and methodology; and
--Ways to assist the Office of Personnel Management which is currently 
actively exploring ways to electronically transmit agency data and 
would like any comments that would help facilitate this process.
