Proposed Collection; Comment Request for Review of a New 
Information Collection; OPM Form 1655 and OPM Form 1655-A

AGENCY: Office of Personnel Management.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Public 
Law 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 new information 
collection. OPM 1655, Application for Senior Administrative Law Judge, 
and OPM 1655-A, Geographic Preference Statement for Senior 
Administrative Law Judge Applicant, are used by retired Administrative 
Law Judges seeking reemployment on a temporary and intermittent basis 
to complete hearings of one or more specified case(s) in accordance 
with the Administrative Procedures Act of 1946.
    Approximately 150 OPM 1655 are completed annually. Each form takes 
approximately 30-45 minutes to complete. The annual estimated burden is 
94 hours. Approximately 200 OPM 1655-A are completed annually. Each 
form takes approximately 15-25 minutes to complete. The annual 
estimated burden is 67 hours.
    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 estimates 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.
