OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request for Reclearance of an 
Information Collection: SF 3106 and SF 3106A

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) intends to submit to the Office of 
Management and Budget a request for reclearance of an information 
collection. SF 3106, Application for Refund of Retirement Deductions, 
and SF 3106A, Current/Former Spouse's Notification of Application for 
Refund of Retirement Deductions, are used by former Federal employees 
who contributed to the Federal Employee's Retirement System to receive 
a refund of retirement deductions and any other money to their credit 
in the Retirement fund.
    Comments are particularly invited on: whether this 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.
    There are approximately 81,000 respondents for the SF 3106 and 
40,500 respondents for the SF 3106A. It takes approximately 27 minutes 
to complete SF 3106 and 6 minutes to complete SF 3106A. The annual 
burden for SF 3106 is 36,450 and 4,050 for the SF 3106A.
