Proposed Information Collection; Request for Comments on an 
Existing Information Collection

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) intends to submit to the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) a request for comments on an existing 
information collection. This information collection, ``Alternative 
Annuity Election'' (OMB Control No. 3206-0168; form RI 20-80), 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 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 200 RI 20-80 forms are completed annually. The form 
takes approximately 20 minutes to complete. The annual estimated burden 
is 67 hours.
