ACTION: Notice.

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 a request for review of a revised information collection. RI
25-51, Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) Survivor Annuitant
Express Pay Application for Death Benefits, will be used by the Civil
Service Retirement System solely to pay benefits to the widow(er) of an
annuitant. This application is intended for use in immediately
authorizing payments to an annuitant's widow or widower, based on the
report of death, when our records show the decedent elected to provide
benefits for the applicant.
    Approximately 34,800 RI 25-51 forms are completed annually. We
estimate it takes approximately 30 minutes to complete the form. The
annual estimated burden is 17,400 hours.
