OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request for Reclearance of 
Revised Information Collections: OPM Form 1496 and 1496A

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 a revised information 
collection. OPM Forms 1496 and 1496A, Application for Deferred 
Retirement (Separations before October 1, 1956) and Application for 
Deferred Retirement (Separations on or after October 1, 1956) are used 
by eligible former Federal employees to apply for a deferred Civil 
Service annuity. Two forms are needed because there was a major 
revision in the law effective October 1, 1956; this affects the general 
information provided with the forms.
    Approximately 3,000 OPM Forms 1496 and 1496A will be completed 
annually. We estimate it takes approximately 1 hour to complete the 
form. The annual burden is 3,000 hours.
    For copies of this proposal, contact Jim Farron on (202) 418-3208, 
or E-mail to [email protected]

DATES: Comments on this proposal should be received on or before June
