Summary
NARA is asking to bring back a form that helps veterans and certain applicants find special job opportunities without competing in the usual way. They want your thoughts by August 10, 2026, before the Office of Management and Budget decides. This process won’t cost applicants money but helps match people with jobs faster and easier.
Analyzed Economic Effects

Reinstated Form to Match Veterans to Jobs
NARA is asking OMB to reinstate NA Form 3102 (NARA Employment Interest Questionnaire) to collect information from U.S. citizens who are eligible veterans or eligible under Schedule A so the agency can add resumes to a Repository and consider them for direct, noncompetitive hires that could become permanent after trial periods. The collection is estimated to cover 300 respondents and takes about 5 minutes per response.
No-Fee, Low-Time Application Process
The questionnaire costs applicants nothing, is estimated to take about 5 minutes per response, and the agency estimates 300 respondents for a total annual burden of 25 hours. NARA invites public comments on this collection by August 10, 2026.
