OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT


Proposed Collection; Comment Request for Review of an Expiring 
Information Collection: OPM 1536

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 an expiring information 
collection. OPM 1536, Application for Survivor Annuity Under the Civil 
Service Retirement System, is designed for use by former spouses of 
Federal employees and annuitants who are applying for a monthly Civil 
Service Retirement System benefit. The application collects information 
about whether the applicant is covered by the Federal Employees Health 
Benefits Program and about any court order which awards the applicant 
retirement benefits.
    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 500 OPM Forms 1536 will be completed annually. The 
form takes approximately 45 minutes to complete. The annual burden is 
375 hours.
    For copies of this proposal, contact Mary Beth Smith-Toomey on

DATES: Comments on this proposal should be received on or before
