OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT


Proposed Collection; Comment Request for Review of an Information 
Collection: RI 20-64 and RI 20-64A

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 information 
collection. RI 20-64, Former Spouse Survivor Annuity Election, is a 
form used by the Civil Service Retirement System to provide information 
about the amount of annuity payable after a survivor reduction and to 
obtain a survivor benefits election form from annuitants who are 
eligible to elect to provide survivor benefits for a former spouse. RI 
20-64A, Information on Electing a Survivor Annuity for Your Former 
Spouse, is a pamphlet that provides important information to retirees 
under the Civil Service Retirement System who want to provide a 
survivor annuity for a former spouse.
    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 30 RI 20-64 forms are completed annually. The form 
takes approximately 45 minutes to complete. The annual estimated burden 
is 23 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 July 
20, 2001.
