OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT


Proposed Collection; Comment Request for Review of a Revised 
Information Collection: SF 2823

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) will submit to the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) a request for review of a revised information collection. 
SF 2823, Designation of Beneficiary: Federal Employees' Group Life 
Insurance, is used by any Federal employee or retiree covered by the 
Federal Employees' Group Life Insurance Program to instruct the Office 
of Federal Employees' Group Life Insurance how to distribute the 
proceeds of his or her life insurance when the statutory order of 
precedence does not meet his or her needs.
    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 40,000 SF 2823 forms are completed annually by 
annuitants and 1,000 forms are completed by assignees. Each form takes 
approximately 15 minutes to complete for an annual estimated burden of 
10,250 hours.
    For copies of this proposal, contact Mary Beth Smith-Toomey on 
(202) 606-8358, FAX (202) 418-3251 or via E-mail to [email protected]. 
Please include a mailing address with your request.

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