OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT


Proposed Collection; Comment Request for Review of a Revised 
Information Collection: RI 98-7

AGENCY: Office of Personnel Management.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. 
L. 104-13, May 22, 1995, and 5 CFR part

[[Page 51306]]

1320), this notice announces that the Office of Personnel Management 
(OPM) intends to submit to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a 
request for review of a revised information collection. RI 98-7, We 
Need Important Information About Your Eligibility for Social Security 
Disability Benefits, is used by OPM to verify receipt of Social 
Security Administration (SSA) disability benefits, to lessen or avoid 
overpayments to FERS disability retirees. It notifies the annuitant of 
the responsibility to notify OPM if SSA benefits begin and the 
overpayment that will occur with the receipt of both benefits.
    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.
    Approximately 5,500 RI 98-7 forms will be completed annually. We 
estimate it takes approximately 5 minutes to complete the form. The 
annual burden is 458 hours.
    For copies of this proposal, contact Mary Beth Smith-Toomey on 
(202) 606-8358, FAX (202) 418-3251 or e-mail to [email protected]. 
Please include your mailing address with your request.

DATES: Comments on this proposal should be received within 60 calendar 
days from the date of this publication.
