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 review of a new information collection. RI 25-
51, Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) Survivor Annuitant Express 
Pay Application for Death Benefits, will be used by the Civil Service 
Retirement System solely to pay benefits to the widow(er) of an 
annuitant. This application is intended for use in immediately 
authorizing payments to an annuitant's widow or widower, based on the 
report of death, when our records show the decedent elected to provide 
benefits for the applicant.
    Approximately 22,000 RI 25-51 forms will be completed annually. We 
estimate it takes approximately 30 minutes to complete the form. The 
annual estimated burden is 11,000 hours.
