OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT


Proposed Collection; Comment Request for Review of a Revised 
Information Collection: RI 38-128

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 (OPM) intends to submit to the Office of 
Management and Budget a request for review of a revised information 
collection. RI 38-128, It's Time to Sign Up for Direct Deposit, is used 
to give recent retirees the opportunity to waive Direct Deposit of 
their payments from OPM. The form is sent only if the separating agency 
did not give the retiring employee this election opportunity.
    Comments are particularly invited on: whether this information is 
necessary

[[Page 60247]]

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.
    Approximately 45,500 forms are completed annually. The form takes 
approximately 30 minutes to complete. The annual estimated burden is 
22,750 hours.
