This request is
approved as described below as a reinstatement with change under
3206-0224. In making its request to OMB for approval the agency
erroneously requested its reinstatment under an unrelated OMB
control number: 3206-0198. This request is approved for a limited
period of one year because of the need for OPM and OMB to reassess
the content and format of this information collection due to
evolving technology. Approval of this request is subject to the
following: 1. OPM will link this survey to an earlier screen in USA
JOBS and make the link more noticable. In doing this, OPM should
consider a "pop-up" window to increase responses. 2. OPM should
consider and may implement a link to OPM's web master on the screen
immediately after to survey is submitted. This link should explain
that additional comments can be sent to the web master. 3. In
response to the question, "What did you expect to accomplish?", the
choice "to request job information materials" should be replaced
with "to apply for a specific job vacancy." Also, the user should
be able to respond to all choices that apply to this question.
4.The fourth question should be modified to read: "How many times
in total have you visited the USA JOBS web site, including this
time?" 5. OPM should degelop and add questions to the survey that
should as about: -Where else the suer has searched for vacancy
announcements -How USA JOBS compares with other sources for
identifying Federal job vacancies. -Whether the user would use UDSA
JOBS again.
