[[Page 38444]]

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) has submitted to the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) a request for reclearance of a revised information 
collection. OPM Forms 1496 and 1496A, Application for Deferred 
Retirement (Separations before October 1, 1956) and Application for 
Deferred Retirement (Separations on or after October 1, 1956) are used 
by eligible former Federal employees to apply for a deferred Civil 
Service annuity. Two forms are needed because there is a major revision 
in the law effective October 1, 1956; this affects the general 
information provided with the forms.
    Approximately 3,000 OPM Forms 1496 and 1496A will be completed 
annually. We estimate it takes approximately 1 hour to complete both 
forms. The annual burden is 3,000 hours.
    For copies of this proposal, contact Mary Beth Smith-Toomey on

DATES: Comments on this proposal should be received on or before August 
23, 2001.
