OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT

Proposed Collection; Comment Request; Review of a Reinstated
Information Collection: OF-311

AGENCY: Office of Personnel Management.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub.
Law 104-13, May 22, 1995), this notice announces that the Office of
Personnel Management intends to submit to the Office of Management and
Budget a request for clearance of an information collection, voluntary
commercial garnishment application form (OF-311). The application is
intended to be completed by the creditors of Federal employees. The
application will facilitate the processing of a wide variety of
commercial garnishment orders issued by various State and local
jurisdictions. The application will provide information about
commercial garnishment orders and will facilitate the processing of
commercial garnishments by Federal agencies in a uniform manner that
otherwise would not be possible.
    OPM anticipates that approximately 100 Forms OF-311 will be
completed annually for OPM employees. OPM estimates that each form
takes approximately 10 minutes to complete. The annual estimated burden
is 17 hours. OPM anticipates, however, that many other Federal agencies
will also be suggesting that creditors complete the Form OF-311.
    Comments are particularly invited on:

--Whether this collection of information is necessary for the proper
performance of functions of the Office of Personnel Management, and
whether it will have a practical utility;
--Whether our estimate of the public burden of this collection is
accurate, and based on valid assumptions and methodology; and
--Ways in which we can minimize the burden of collection of information
on those who are to respond, through use of the appropriate
technological collection techniques or other forms of information
technology.
