OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT


Proposed Collection; Comment Request; Review of a Reinstated 
Information Collection: OF-311

AGENCY: Office of Personnel Management.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. 
Law 104-13, May 22, 1995), this notice announces that the Office of 
Personnel Management intends to submit to the Office of Management and 
Budget a request for clearance of an information collection, voluntary 
commercial garnishment application form (OF-311). The application is 
intended to be completed by the creditors of Federal employees. The 
application will facilitate the processing of a wide variety of 
commercial garnishment orders issued by various State and local 
jurisdictions. The application will provide information about 
commercial garnishment orders and will facilitate the processing of 
commercial garnishments by Federal agencies in a uniform manner that 
otherwise would not be possible.
    OPM anticipates that approximately 100 Forms OF-311 will be 
completed annually for OPM employees. OPM estimates that each form 
takes approximately 10 minutes to complete. The annual estimated burden 
is 17 hours. OPM anticipates, however, that many other Federal agencies 
will also be suggesting that creditors complete the Form OF-311.
    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 a 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 collection of information 
on those who are to respond, through use of the appropriate 
technological collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology.
