OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT


Proposed Collection; Comment Request for Review of a Currently 
Approved Information Collection: RI 25-41

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 review of a currently approved 
information collection. RI 25-41, Initial Certification of Full-Time 
School Attendance, is used to determine whether a child is unmarried 
and a full-time student in a recognized school. OPM must determine this 
in order to pay survivor annuity benefits to children who are age 18 or 
older.
    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.
    Approximately 1,200 RI 25-41 forms are completed annually. It takes 
approximately 90 minutes to complete the form. The annual burden is 
1,800 hours.
    For copies of this proposal, contact Mary Beth Smith-Toomey on 
(202) 606-8358, or E-mail to [email protected]

DATES:  Comments on this proposal should be received on or before March 
21, 2000.

ADDRESSES:  Send or deliver comments to--Ronald W. Melton, Chief, 
Operations Support Division, Retirement and Insurance Service, U.S. 
Office of Personnel Management, 1900 E Street, NW, Room 3349, 
Washington, DC 20415.
