Information requested on NRC Form 212, "Qualifications Investigation, Professional, Technical, and Administrative Positions" is used to determine the qualifications and suitability of external applicants for employment with the NRC. The completed form may be used to examine, rate and/or assess the prospective employee's qualifications. The information regarding the qualifications of applicants for employment is reviewed by professional personnel of the Office of the Chief Human Capital Officer, in conjunction with other information in the NRC files, to determine the qualifications of the applicant for appointment to the position under consideration.
The estimated burden has decreased from 500 hours annually to 250 hours annually, a decrease of 250 hours. The number of forms that NRC staff anticipates receiving has decreased from 1,000 forms annually to 500 forms annually. This decrease is due to a decline in external hiring since the last renewal of this information collection. The NRC staff estimates that the fiscal environment of reduced external hiring will continue during the upcoming clearance period. The NRC Form 212 is only used as part of the suitability investigation of external candidates as part of the hiring process. A reduction in external hires results in a reduction in the number of NRC Form 212s that are completed.
