OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request for Reclearance of an
Information Collection: Form RI 20-80

AGENCY: Office of Personnel Management.

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) intends to submit to the Office of
Management and Budget a request for reclearance of an information
collection. RI 20-80, Alternative Annuity Election, is used for
individuals who are eligible to elect whether to receive a reduced
annuity and a lump-sum payment equal to their retirement contributions
(alternative form of annuity) or an unreduced annuity and no lump sum.
    Comments are particularly invited on: whether this information is
necessary for the proper performance of functions of the Office of
Personnel Management, 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 other forms of
information technology.
    Approximately 200 RI 20-80 forms are completed annually. We
estimate it takes approximately 20 minutes to complete the form. The
annual burden is 67 hours. For copies of this proposal, contact Jim
Farron on (202) 418-3208, or E-mail to jmfarron@opm.gov

DATES: Comments on this proposal should be received by July 6, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Send or deliver comments to--Lorraine E. Dettman, Chief,
Operations Support Division, Retirement and Insurance Service, U.S.
Office of Personnel Management, 1900 E Street, NW, Room 3349,
Washington, DC 20415.
