OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT


Proposed Collection; Comment Request for Review of a Revised 
Information Collection: Form SF 2802, SF 2802-B, RI 36-7

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 of the 
following information collections: SF 2802, Application for Refund of 
Retirement Deductions (Civil Service Retirement System); SF 2802B, 
Current/Former Spouse's Notification of Application for Refund of 
Retirement Deductions; and RI 36-7, Marital Information Required of 
Refund Applicants. The OPM must have the SF 2802 completed and signed 
before paying a refund of retirement contributions from the Civil 
Service Retirement and Disability Fund. SF 2802B must be completed if 
there are spouse(s) or former spouse(s) who must be notified of the 
employee's intent to take a refund from the Fund. RI 36-7 is needed 
when the SF 2802 received at the OPM is incomplete about the 
applicant's marital status.
    Approximately 35,000 SF 2802 forms are completed annually. We 
estimate it takes approximately 45 minutes to complete the form. The 
annual burden is 26,250 hours. Approximately 31,500 SF 2802B forms are 
completed annually. We estimate it takes approximately 15 minutes to 
complete. The estimated annual burden is 7,875. Approximately 21,050 RI 
36-7 forms are completed annually. Each form takes approximately 10 
minutes to complete. The annual estimated burden is 3,508 hours. The 
total combined annual burden is 37,663 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.
