OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT


Proposed Collection; Comment Request for Review of a Revised 
Information Collection: RI 94-7

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 94-7, Death Benefit Payment Rollover Election for 
Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS), provides FERS surviving 
spouses and former spouses with the means to elect payment of the FERS 
rollover-eligible benefits directly or to an Individual Retirement 
Account.
    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 700 RI 94-7 forms will be completed annually. We 
estimate it takes approximately 60 minutes to complete the form. The 
annual estimated burden is 700 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 May 7, 
2001.

ADDRESSES: Send or deliver comments to: John C. Crawford, Chief, FERS 
Division, Retirement and Insurance Service, U.S. Office of Personnel 
Management, 1900 E Street, NW, Room 3313, Washington, DC 20415.
