OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT


Proposed Collection; Comment Request for Review of a Revised 
Information Collection: Form RI 95-4

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 revised information 
collection. RI 95-4, Marital Information Required of Refund Applicants, 
is used by OPM to pay refunds of retirement contributions when the 
information is not included on the SF 3106, Application for Refund of 
Retirement Deductions (FERS). To pay these benefits, all applicants for 
refund must provide information to OPM about their marital status and 
whether any spouse(s) or former spouse(s) have been informed of the 
proposed refund.
    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 100 RI 95-4 forms will be completed annually. We 
estimate it takes approximately 30 minutes to complete the form. The 
annual burden is 50 hours.
    For copies of this proposal, contact Mary Beth Smith-Toomey on
