OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT


Proposed Collection; Comment Request for Revision of Information 
Collection: Form RI 20-63

AGENCY: Office of Personnel Management.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. 
L. 104-13, May 22, 1995), this notice announces that the Office of 
Personnel Management will submit to the Office of Management and Budget 
a request for reclearance of the following information collection. RI 
20-63, Survivor Annuity Election for a Spouse, is an enclosure covered 
by a letter explaining why OPM is sending the form and is used by the 
Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) to provide information and a 
survivor benefits election opportunity to annuitants who have notified 
the CSRS that they have married.
    There are estimated to be 2,400 respondents for RI 20-63 and 200 
for the cover letter. It is estimated to take 45 minutes to complete 
the form with a burden of 1,800 hours and 10 minutes to complete the 
letter, which gives a burden of 34 hours. The total burden for RI 20-63 
is 1,834 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 of 
information 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 the use of appropriate 
technological collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology.
