OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT

[RI 38-128]


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 (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 revised 
information collection. RI 38-128, It's Time to Sign Up for Direct 
Deposit, is primarily used by OPM to give recent retirees the 
opportunity to waive Direct Deposit of their annuity payments. The form 
is sent only if the separating agency did not give the retiring 
employee this election opportunity. This form may also be used to 
enroll in Direct Deposit, which was

[[Page 67935]]

its primary use before Public Law 104-134 was passed. This law requires 
OPM to make all annuity payments by Direct Deposit unless the payee has 
waived the service in writing.
    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 20,000 forms are completed annually. The form takes 
approximately 30 minutes to complete. The annual estimated burden is 
10,000 hours.
