The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov.

The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for legal research should verify their results against an official edition of the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.

Title: U.S. Coast Guard Non-Appropriated Fund Employment Application.
OMB Control Number: 1625-0120.
Summary: The USCG Non-Appropriated Fund Employment Application form is used to collect applicant qualification information associated with vacancy announcements. The form allows individuals to apply for employment opportunities with the Coast Guard Non-appropriated fund (NAF) workforce and fills the gap created by the cancellation of the Optional Application for Federal Employment, Form OF-612, OMB No. 3206-0219.
Need: The U.S. Coast Guard rates applicants under the authority of 5 U.S.C. 301, 1104, 1302, 3301, and 3304. The Optional Application for Federal Employment, Form OF-612, was cancelled and the information is now collected in USA Jobs. The NAF personnel system does not utilize USA Jobs because of the high cost and high turnover rate and thus relied heavily on form OF-612 for applicants.
Forms: CG-1227B, Non-Appropriated Fund Employment Application.
Respondents: Public applying for positions with the USCG Non-appropriated fund workforce.
Frequency: Per vacancy announcements.
Hour Burden Estimate: The estimated burden remains 4,333 a year. The reporting requirements and the methodology for calculating burden, remain unchanged.
Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. chapter 35, as amended.
Dated: September 12, 2024.
Kathleen Claffie,
Chief, Office of Privacy Management, U.S. Coast Guard.
