OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT

 
Proposed Collection; Comment Request for Review of a New 
Information Collection RI 20-120

AGENCY: Office of Personnel Management (OPM).

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 (OMB) a request for review of a new information 
collection. RI 20-120, Request for Change to Unreduced Annuity, is a 
new form designed to collect information OPM needs to comply with the 
wishes of the retired Federal employee whose marriage has ended. We 
have always needed this information. In the past, we have considered 
the information originally provided in the correspondence from the 
retiree and have made further inquiries as needed. This new form will 
provide an organized way for the retiree to give us everything at one 
time.
    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 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 use of the appropriate 
technological collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology.

    We estimate we will process 5,000 requests annually from RI 20-120. 
This form takes an average of 30 minutes per response to complete. The 
annual burden is estimated to be 2,500 hours.

Please include your mailing address with your request.

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