OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT


Proposed Collection; Comment Request for Review of a Revised 
Information Collection: Form RI 94-7

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 94-7, Death Benefit Payment Rollover Election for 
Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS), provides FERS surviving 
spouses and former spouses with the means to elect payment of the FERS 
rollover-eligible benefits directly or to an Individual Retirement 
Account.
    Approximately 700 RI 94-7 forms will be completed annually. We 
estimate it takes approximately 60 minutes to complete the form. The 
annual burden is 700 hours.
    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.

DATES: Comments on this proposal should be received on or before 
December 8, 1997.

Management, 1900 E Street, NW, Room 3313, Washington, DC 20415.
