OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT

Proposed Collection; Comment Request for Review of a Revised
Information Collection: Forms RI 20-7 and RI 30-3

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 review of a revised information
collection. RI 20-7, Representative Payee Application, is used by the
Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) and the Federal Employees'
Retirement System (FERS) to collect information from persons applying
to be fiduciaries for annuitants or survivor annuitants who appear to
be incapable of handling their own funds or for minor children. RI 30-
3, Information Necessary for a Competency Determination, collects
medical information regarding the annuitant's competency for OPM's use
in evaluating the annuitant's condition.
    Comments are particularly invited on: whether this information is
necessary for the proper performance of functions of OPM, 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 12,480 RI 20-7 forms will be completed annually. Each
form requires approximately 30 minutes to complete. The annual burden
is 6,240 hours. Approximately 250 RI 30-3 forms will be completed
annually. Each form requires approximately 1 hour to complete. The
total annual burden is 6,490.
