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 (OMB) a request for review of a revised information 
collection. The Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) Open Season 
Express Interactive Voice Response (IVR) System and the Open Season Web 
site, Open Season Online, are used by retirees and survivors. They 
collect information for changing FEHB enrollments, collecting dependent 
and other insurance information for self and family enrollments, 
requesting plan brochures, requesting a change of address, requesting 
cancellation or suspension of FEHB benefits, asking to make payment to 
the Office of Personnel Management when the FEHB payment is greater 
than the monthly annuity amount, or for requesting FEHB plan 
accreditation and Customer Satisfaction Survey information.
    We receive approximately 215,000 responses per year to the IVR 
system and the online web. Each response takes approximately 10 minutes 
to complete. The annual burden is 35,833 hours.
