Proposed Collection: Comment Request for Review of a Revised 
Information Collection: OPM Form 1644 Child Care Provider Information 
for the Child Care Subsidy Program for Federal Employees OMB No. 3206-
0240

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 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. 
Approval for the OPM Form 1644, Child Care Provider Information for the 
Child Care Subsidy Program for Federal Employees, is used to verify 
that child care providers are licensed or regulated by local or State 
authorities, as appropriate. Section 630 of Public Law 107-67, passed 
by Congress on November 12, 2001, permits Federal agencies to use 
appropriated funds to help their lower-income employees with their 
costs for child care provided by a contractor licensed or regulated by 
local or State authorities, as appropriate. Therefore, agencies need to 
verify that child care providers to whom they make disbursements in the 
form of child care subsidies meet the statutory requirement.
    Approximately 3500 OPM 1644 forms will be completed annually. We 
estimate it will take 10 minutes to complete the OPM Form 1644. The 
annual estimated burden is 333.3 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

[[Page 15546]]

are 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.
    For copies of this proposal, contact Mary Beth Smith-Toomey on 
(202) 606-8358, FAX (202) 418-3251 or e-mail to [email protected]. 
Please be sure to 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: Marie L'Etoile, Group Manager, 
Work/Life Group, U.S. Office of Personnel Management, 1900 E Street, 
NW., Washington, DC 20415.
