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) has submitted to the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) a request for reclearance of a revised information 
collection. The Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) Open Season 
Express Interactive Voice Response (IVR) System and the open season Web 
site, Open Season Online, is used by retirees and survivors; it 
collects information for changing FEHB enrollments, collecting 
dependent and other insurance information for self and family 
enrollments, requesting plan brochures, requesting a change of address, 
requesting cancellation or suspension of FEHB benefits, asking to make 
payment to the Office of Personnel Management when the FEHB payment is 
greater than the monthly annuity amount, or requesting FEHB plan 
accreditation and Customer Satisfaction Survey information.
    We estimate we will receive 215,000 responses per year to the IVR 
system and the online Web site. Each response takes approximately 10 
minutes to complete. The annual burden is 35,833 hours.
