OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT


Proposed Collection: Comment Request for Review of an Expiring 
Information Collection: Standard Form 1153

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. Standard Form 1153, Claim for Unpaid Compensation of 
Deceased Civilian Employee is used to collect information from 
individuals, who have been designated as beneficiaries of the unpaid 
compensation of a deceased Federal employee or who believe that their 
relationship to the deceased entitles them to receive the unpaid 
compensation of a deceased Federal employee. OPM needs this information

[[Page 32654]]

in order to adjudicate the claim and properly assign a deceased Federal 
employee's unpaid compensation to the appropriate individual(s).
    Approximately 3,000 SF 1153 forms are submitted annually. It takes 
approximately 15 minutes to complete the form. The annual estimated 
burden is 750 hours.
    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 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 use of the appropriate 
technological collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology.
