OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT


Proposed Collection; Comment Request for Review of a Revised 
Information Collection: Forms RI 20-7 and RI 30-3

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 a request for review of a revised information 
collection. RI 20-7, Representative Payee Application, is used by the 
Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) and the Federal Employees 
Retirement System (FERS) to collect information from persons applying 
to be fiduciaries for annuitants or survivor annuitants who appear to 
be incapable of handling their own funds or for minor children. RI 30-
3, Information Necessary for a Competency Determination, collects 
medical information regarding the annuitant's competency for OPM's use 
in evaluating the annuitant's condition.
    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 12,480 RI 20-7 forms will be completed annually. This 
form requires approximately 30 minutes to complete; the annual burden 
is 6,240 hours. Approximately 250RI 30-3 forms will be completed 
annually. This form requires approximately 1 hour to complete; the 
annual burden is 250 hours. The total annual burden is 6,490 hours.
    For copies of this proposal, contact Mary Beth Smith-Toomey on
