OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT


Proposed Collection; Comment Request for Reclearance of a Revised 
Information Collection; SF 3106 and SF 3106A

AGENCY: Office of Personnel Management.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. 
L. 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 (OMB) a request for reclearance of a revised 
information collection. SF 3106, Application for Refund of Retirement 
Deductions/Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS), is used by 
former Federal employees under FERS, to apply for a refund of 
retirement deductions withheld during Federal employment, plus any 
interest provided by law. SF 3106A, Current/Former Spouse(s) 
Notification of Application for Refund of Retirement Deductions Under 
FERS, is used by refund applicants to notify their current/former 
spouse(s) that they are applying for a refund of retirement deductions, 
which is required by law.
    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 
of information 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 appropriate technological collection techniques or other forms of 
information technology.
    Approximately 17,000 SF 3106 will be processed annually. The SF 
3106 takes approximately 30 minutes to complete for a total of 8,500 
hours annually. Approximately 13,600 of SF 3106A will be processed 
annually. The SF 3106A takes approximately 5 minutes to complete for a 
total of 1,133 hours. The total annual burden is 9,633 hours.
