The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), part of the Department of Homeland Security, has announced a plan to collect information as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. They are seeking public comments on a new information collection named the Pre-Screening Interview Questionnaire Form, which is part of the selection process for law enforcement candidates. The aim is to assess candidate suitability prior to a mandatory polygraph test, with feedback requested to improve the collection process. The CBP estimates that 20,000 individuals will respond to this form annually, leading to a total of 200,000 responses and requiring roughly 6,667 hours of collective effort from respondents each year.
Simple Explanation
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection wants to collect information from people who want to work in law enforcement to see if they are suitable before giving them a lie detector test. They want to hear what people think about this new form, but some things about how it works are unclear, like what could make someone fail the first test or how people without the internet can give their feedback.
