OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT

 
Proposed Collection; Comment Request for Review of an Expiring 
Information Collection: SF 2809-1

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 intends to submit to the Office of Management and 
Budget a request for review of an expiring collection. SF 2809-1, 
Annuitant/OWCP Health Benefits Election Form, is used by annuitants of 
Federal retirement systems other than the Civil Service Retirement 
System (CSRS) and the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS), 
including the Foreign Service Retirement System and the Office of 
Workers' Compensation Programs (OWCP), and certain former dependents of 
these individuals. These former dependents include certain former 
spouses who are eligible for enrollment under the Spouse Equity Act of 
1984 (Pub. L. 98-615), and certain former dependents who are eligible 
for enrollment under the Temporary Continuation of Coverage (TCC) 
provisions of FEHB law (5 U.S.C. 8905a).
    Approximately 9,000 SF 2809-1 forms are completed annually. Each 
form takes approximately 30 minutes to complete. The annual estimated 
burden will be 4,500 hours.
    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.
