SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Public
Law 104-13, May 22, 1995), this notice announces that the Office of
Personnel Management (OPM) has submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) a request for reclearance of a revised information
collection. RI 38-128, It's Time to Sign Up for Direct Deposit, is now
primarily used by OPM to give recent retirees the opportunity to waive
Direct Deposit of their annuity payments. The form is sent only if the
separating agency did not give the retiring employee this election
opportunity. This form may also be used to enroll in Direct Deposit,
which was its primary use before Public Law 104-134 was passed. This
law requires OPM to make all annuity payments by Direct Deposit unless
the payee has waived the service in writing.
For copies of this proposal, contact Mary Beth Smith-Toomey on
(202) 606-8358, FAX (202) 418-3251 or via e-mail to mbtoomey@opm.gov.
