OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT


Proposed Collection; Comment Request for Review of a Revised 
Information Collection: Standard Forms 2800 and 2800A

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) will submit to the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) a request for review of a revised information collection. 
SF 2800, Application for Death Benefits Under the Civil Service 
Retirement System (CSRS), is needed to collect information so that OPM 
can pay death benefits to the survivors of Federal employees and 
annuitants. SF 2800A, Documentation and Elections in Support of 
Application for Death Benefits When Deceased Was an Employee at the 
Time of Death, is needed for deaths in service only so that survivors 
can make the needed elections regarding military service.
    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 68,000 SF 2800's are processed annually. The form 
requires approximately 45 minutes to complete. An annual burden of 
51,000 hours is estimated. Approximately 6,800 applicants will use SF 
2800A annually. This form also requires approximately 45 minutes to 
complete. An annual burden of 5,100 hours is estimated. The total 
burden is 56,100 hours.

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.
