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), 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 overpayment to Federal 
Employees Retirement System (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: 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 or other forms of information 
technology.
    Approximately 3,000 RI 98-7 forms will be completed annually. The 
form takes approximately 5 minutes to complete. The annual burden is 
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.
