OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT

[RI 20-64, RI 20-64A, and RI 20-64B]


Proposed Collection; Comment Request for Review of a Revised 
Information Collection

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. RI20-64, You May Provide a Survivor Annuity for 
Your Former Spouse, is used by the Civil Service Retirement System to 
provide information about the amount of annuity payable after a 
survivor reduction and to offer eligible annuitants an opportunity to 
make a former spouse survivor annuity election. RI 20-64A, Former 
Spouse Survivor Annuity Election, is the election form the annuitant 
uses to make such an election. RI 20-64B, Information on Electing a 
Survivor Annuity for Your Former Spouse, is a pamphlet that provides 
important information to retirees under the Civil Service Retirement 
System who want to provide a survivor annuity for a former spouse.
    Comments are particularly invited on: whether this information is 
necessary for the proper performance of functions of OPM, 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 others forms of information technology.
    Approximately 30 RI 20-64A forms are completed annually. The form 
takes approximately 45 minutes to complete. The annual estimated burden 
is 23 hours.
