OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT


Proposed Collection; Comment Request for Review of a Revised 
Information Collection: Information and Instructions on Your 
Reconsideration Rights, RI 38-47

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. Information and Instructions on Your Reconsideration 
Rights, RI 38-47, outlines the procedures required to request 
reconsideration of an initial OPM decision about Civil Service or 
Federal Employees retirement, Retired Federal or Federal Employee 
Health Benefits requests to enroll or change enrollment, or Federal 
Employees' Group Life Insurance coverage. The form lists the procedures 
and time periods required for requesting reconsideration.
    Comments are particularly invited on:

--Whether this collection of 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 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 the 
appropriate technological collection techniques or other forms of 
information technology.

    Approximately 3,100 annuitants and survivors request 
reconsideration annually. We estimate it takes approximately 45 minutes 
to apply. The annual burden is 2,325 hours.
