OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT
Proposed Collection; Comment Request for Review of a Revised
Information Collection: Standard Forms 2800 and 2800A
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 (OPM) will submit to the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) a request for review of a revised information collection.
SF 2800, Application for Death Benefits Under the Civil Service
Retirement System (CSRS), is needed to collect information so that OPM
can pay death benefits to the survivors of Federal employees and
annuitants. SF 2800A, Documentation and Elections in Support of
Application for Death Benefits When Deceased Was an Employee at the
Time of Death, is needed for deaths in service only so that survivors
can make the needed elections regarding military service.
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 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 68,000 SF 2800's are processed annually. The form
requires approximately 45 minutes to complete. An annual burden of
51,000 hours is estimated. Approximately 6,800 applicants will use SF
2800A annually. This form also requires approximately 45 minutes to
complete. An annual burden of 5,100 hours is estimated. The total
burden is 56,100 hours.
For copies of this proposal, contact Mary Beth Smith-Toomey on

DATES: Comments on this proposal should be received within 60 calendar
days from the date of this publication.
