Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request for Reclearance of 
Information Collection: Form RI 38-31

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 (OPM) has submitted to the Office of Management 
and Budget a

request for reclearance of an information collection. RI 38-31, Request 
for Information About Your Missing Payment, is sent in response to a 
notification by an individual of the loss or non-receipt of a payment 
from the Civil Service Retirement and Disability Fund. The form 
requests the information needed to enable the OPM to trace and or 
reissue payment. Missing payments may also be reported to OPM by a 
telephone call.
    Approximately 8,000 missing payment requests for both Treasury 
checks and electronic funds transfers (EFT's) are processed each year; 
500 RI 38-31 forms will be completed annually while 7500 telephone 
calls are received at OPM. We estimate it takes approximately 10 
minutes to complete the form for missing Treasury checks or to report 
the missing payment by telephone. Approximately 50 RI 38-31 forms are 
completed for missing EFT payments; we estimate it takes 30 minutes 
because financial institution information and signature(s) are 
required. The combined annual burden is 1,350 hours.
