OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT

 

Proposed Information Collection Submitted to OMB for Clearance

AGENCY: Office of Personnel Management.

ACTION: Notice of proposed information collection.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 
(chapter 35 of title 44, United States Code), this notice announces a 
request submitted by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to the 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for clearance of two information 
collections: Nonforeign Area Cost-of-Living Allowance Background Survey 
and Nonforeign Area Cost-of-Living Allowance Price Survey. These 
information collections will be used for annual living cost surveys and 
for background surveys that will be conducted approximately once every 
5 years to evaluate the program. Selected retail, service, realty, and 
other businesses and local governments will be surveyed in nonforeign 
allowance areas and in the Washington, DC, area to obtain living cost 
data. OPM will use these data to develop cost-of-living allowances as 
authorized by section 5941 of title 5, United States Code. 
Approximately 300 establishments will be contacted in the background 
survey, and approximately 4,000 establishments will be contacted in the 
price survey. OPM estimates that the survey interviews will take 
approximately 480 hours annually. For a copy of this proposal call C. 
Ronald Trueworthy on 703-908-8550.

DATES: Comments on this proposal should be received within 30 days 
after the date of this notice.
