OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT


Proposed Collection; Comment Request for Expiring Information 
Collections: SF 2802 and SF 2802B

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 (OMB) a request for reclearance of an information 
collection, the SF 2802, Application for Refund of Retirement 
Deductions (Civil Service Retirement System) and SF 2802B, Current/
Former Spouse's Notification of Application for Refund of Retirement 
Deductions. OPM must have the SF 2802 completed and signed before 
paying a refund of retirement contributions from the Civil Service 
Retirement and Disability Fund. SF 2802B must be completed in those 
instances where there is a spouse or former spouse(s) who must be 
notified of the employee's intent to take a refund from the Fund.
    Comments are particularly invited on: Whether this collection of 
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 32,000 SF 2802 forms are completed annually. We 
estimate it takes approximately 45 minutes to complete the form. The 
annual burden is 24,075 hours. Approximately 28,890 SF 2802B forms are 
processed annually. We estimate it takes approximately 15 minutes to 
complete this form. The annual burden is 7,223 hours. The total annual 
burden is 31,298 hours.
