[OMB Control No. 3206-0235; Forms RI 20-64, RI 20-64A and RI 20-64B]
Proposed Collection; Comment Request for Review of a Revised
Information Collection
AGENCY: Office of Personnel Management.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub.
L. 104-13, May 22, 1995), this notice announces that the Office of
Personnel Management (OPM) intends to submit to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) a request for review of a revised
information collection. This information collection, ``Letter Reply to
Request for Information'' (OMB Control No. 3206-0235; Form RI 20-64),
is used by the Civil Service Retirement System to provide information
about the amount of annuity payable after a survivor reduction, to
explain the annuity reductions required to pay for the survivor
benefit, and to give the beginning rate of survivor annuity. ``Former
Spouse Survivor Annuity Election'' (OMB Control No. 3206-0235; Form RI
20-64A), is used by the Civil
[[Page 70711]]
Service Retirement System to obtain a survivor benefits election from
annuitants who are eligible to elect to provide survivor benefits for a
former spouse. ``Information on Electing a Survivor Annuity for Your
Former Spouse'' (OMB Control No. 3206-0235; RI 20-64B), is a pamphlet
that provides important information to retirees under the Civil Service
Retirement System who want to provide a survivor annuity for a former
spouse.
Comments are particularly invited on: whether this information is
necessary for the proper performance of functions of OPM, and whether
it will have practical utility; whether our estimate of the public
burden of this collection of information is accurate, and based on
valid assumptions and methodology; and ways in which we can minimize
the burden of the collection of information on those who are to
respond, through the use of appropriate technological collection
techniques or others forms of information technology.
We estimate that 30 survivor elections on RI 20-64A will be
processed per year and that of these eight will use RI 20-64 to ask for
information about electing a smaller survivor benefit. Form RI 20-64A
requires 45 minutes to complete for a burden of 23 hours. Form RI 20-64
requires eight minutes to complete for a burden of one hour. The total
burden is 24 hours.

days from the date of this publication.
