OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT


Proposed Collection; Comment Request for Review of an Expiring 
Information Collection: Standard Form (SF) 3102

AGENCY: Office of Personnel Management.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Public 
Law 104-13, May 22, 1995), this notice announces that the Office of 
Personnel Management intends to submit to the Office of Management and 
Budget a request for review of an expiring information collection. The 
SF 3102, Designation of Beneficiary, is used by employees and 
annuitants covered under the Federal Employees Retirement System to 
designate a beneficiary to receive any lump sum due in the event of 
his/her death. Approximately 1,136 SF 3102 forms are completed 
annually. Each form takes approximately 15 minutes to complete. The 
annual estimated burden is 284 hours.
    Comments are particularly invited on: whether this collection of 
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 
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 use of the appropriate technological 
collection techniques or other forms of information technology.
