OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT


Proposed Collection; Comment Request for Review of a Revised 
Information Collection: Forms RI 20-7 and RI 30-3

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 20-7, Representative Payee Application, is used by the 
Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) and the Federal Employees' 
Retirement System (FERS) to collect information from persons applying 
to be fiduciaries for annuitants or survivor annuitants who appear to 
be incapable of handling their own funds or for minor children. RI 30-
3, Information Necessary for a Competency Determination, collects 
medical information regarding the annuitant's competency for OPM's use 
in evaluating the annuitant's condition.
    Comments are particularly invited on: whether this information is 
necessary for the proper performance of functions of OPM, 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 12,480 RI 20-7 forms will be completed annually. Each 
form requires approximately 30 minutes to complete. The annual burden 
is 6,240 hours. Approximately 250 RI 30-3 forms will be completed 
annually. Each form requires approximately 1 hour to complete. The 
total annual burden is 6,490.

DATES: Comments on this proposal should be received on or before 
October 3, 2000.
