OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT


Proposed Collection; Comment Request for Review of a Revised 
Information Collection: RI 38-47

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. Information and Instructions on Your Reconsideration 
Rights, RI 38-47, outlines the procedures required to request 
reconsideration of an initial OPM decision about Civil Service or 
Federal Employees retirement, Federal or Retired Federal Employees 
Health Benefits requests to enroll or change enrollment, or Federal 
Employees' Group Life Insurance coverage. This form lists the 
procedures and time periods required for requesting reconsideration.
    Comments are particularly invited on: whether this 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 techniques or other forms of information 
technology.
    Approximately 3,100 annuitants and survivors request 
reconsideration annually. We estimate it takes approximately 45 minutes 
to apply. The annual burden is 2,325 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
