OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request for Review of A 
Revised Collection: RI 20-64, RI 20-64A, and RI 20-64B

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) has submitted to the Office of Management 
and Budget a request for review of a revised information collection. RI 
20-64, Letter Reply to Request for Information, is used by the Civil 
Service Retirement System to provide information about the amount of 
annuity payable after a survivor reduction, to explain the annuity 
reductions required to pay for the survivor benefit, and to give the 
beginning rate of survivor annuity. RI 20-64A, Former Spouse Survivor 
Annuity Election, is used by the Civil Service Retirement System to 
obtain a survivor benefits election from annuitants who are eligible to 
elect to provide survivor benefits for a former spouse. 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.
    We estimate that 30 survivor elections on RI 20-64A will be 
processed per year and that of these eight will use RI 20-64 to ask for 
information about electing a smaller survivor benefit. Form RI 20-64A 
requires 45 minutes to complete for a burden of 23 hours. Form RI 20-64 
requires eight minutes to complete for a burden of one hour. The total 
burden is 24 hours.
