Submission for OMB Review, Comment Request; Standard Form 1153

AGENCY: Office of Personnel Management (OPM).

ACTION: Submission for OMB review; comment request.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. 
L. No. 104-13) and 5 CFR 1320.5 (a)(1)(iv), this notice announces that 
OPM has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a 
request for clearance of an information collection. The information 
submitted on Standard Form 1153, Claim for Unpaid Compensation of 
Deceased Civilian Employee, will help determine claimants' and others' 
rights to deceased employees' unpaid compensation.
    The authority to settle these claims was transferred from the 
General Accounting Office to the Director of OMB pursuant to the 
Legislative Branch Appropriations Act of 1996. Subsequently, the 
Director of OMB delegated this function to OPM. OPM published an 
initial notice of clearance request on February 24, 1998 in the Federal 
Register (63 FR 9272), but received no comments in response to the 
notice.
    It is estimated that 3300 individuals will respond annually for a 
total burden of 1,650 hours. To obtain copies of this proposal please 
contact James M. Farron at (202) 418-3208 or by E-mail to 
[email protected].

DATES: Comments on this proposed form should be received on or before 
July 12, 1998. Submit comments on this proposal to Joseph Lackey, OPM
