OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT


Proposed Collection; Comment Request for Review of a Currently 
Approved Information Collection: RI 38-107

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 currently 
approved information collection. RI 38-107, Verification of Who is 
Getting Payments, is used to verify that the entitled person is indeed 
receiving the monies payable. Failure to collect this information would 
cause OPM to pay monies absent the assurance of the correct payee.
    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 techniques or other forms of information 
technology.
    Approximately 25,400 forms are completed annually. Each form takes 
approximately 10 minutes to complete. The annual estimated burden is 
4,234 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.

ADDRESSES: Send or deliver comments to--Pamela S. Israel, Chief, 
Operations Support Group, Retirement Services Programs, U.S. Office of 
Personnel Management. 1900 E Street, NW., Room 3349, Washington, DC
