OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT

 
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request for Extension of an 
Expiring Information Collection: Establishment Information Form, Wage 
Data Collection Form, Wage Data Collection Continuation Form DD 1918, 
DD 1919, and DD 1919C

AGENCY: Office of Personnel Management.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-13, May 
22, 1995), the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has submitted to 
the Office of Management and Budget a request for extension of three 
previously-approved information collection forms for which approval 
will soon expire. The Establishment Information Form, the Wage Data 
Collection Form, and the Wage Data Collection Continuation Form are 
wage survey forms developed by OPM for use by the Department of Defense 
to establish prevailing wage rates for Federal Wage System employees.
    The Department of Defense contacts approximately 21,200 businesses 
annually to determine the level of wages paid by private enterprise 
establishments for representative jobs common to both private industry 
and the Federal Government. Each survey collection requires 1-4 hours 
of respondent burden, resulting in a total yearly burden of 
approximately 75,800 hours.
    For copies of this proposal, contact Mary Beth Smith-Toomey on 
(202) 606-8358, fax (202) 418-3251, or e-mail mbtoomey@opm.gov. Please 
include a mailing address with your request.

DATES: Submit comments on or before November 3, 2005.

     Donald J. Winstead, Deputy Associate Director for Pay and 
Performance Policy, Office of Personnel Management, Room 7H31, 1900 E
