OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT
 

Notice of Request for Reclearance for Court Orders Affecting 
Retirement Benefits

AGENCY: Office of Personnel Management.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 (title 
44, U.S. Code, chapter 35), this notice announces a request for 
reclearance of an information collection. Court Orders Affecting 
Retirement Benefits--5 CFR 838.221, 838.421, and 838.721 require former 
spouses of Federal employees to write to OPM, providing specific 
information needed for OPM to make court-ordered benefit payments. This 
information is needed to identify affected employees and to certify 
that the court-order remains in effect.
    Approximately 12,000 former spouses apply for benefits based on 
court orders annually. It takes approximately six minutes to apply. The 
total estimated annual burden is 1,200 hours.
    For copies of this proposal, contact Doris R. Benz on (703) 908-
8564.

DATES: Comments on this proposal should be received on or before 
January 20, 1995.
