OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request for Extension, Without 
Change, of a Currently Approved Information Collection: RI 20-64, RI 
20-64A and RI 20-64B

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) has submitted to the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) a request for extension, without change, of a 
currently approved information collection. RI 20-64, Letter Reply to 
Request for Information, is used by the Civil Service Retirement System 
to provide information about the amount of annuity payable after a 
survivor reduction, to explain the annuity reductions required to pay 
for the survivor benefit, and to give the beginning rate of survivor 
annuity. RI 20-64A, Former Spouse Survivor Annuity Election, is used by 
the Civil Service Retirement System to obtain a survivor benefits 
election from annuitants who are eligible to elect to provide survivor 
benefits for a former spouse. RI 20-64B, Information on Electing a 
Survivor Annuity for Your Former Spouse, is a pamphlet that provides 
important information to retirees under the Civil Service Retirement 
System who want to provide a survivor annuity for a former spouse.
    We estimate that 30 survivor elections on RI 20-64A will be 
processed per year and that of these eight will use RI 20-64 to ask for 
information about electing a smaller survivor benefit. Form RI 20-64A 
requires 45 minutes to complete for a burden of 23 hours. Form RI 20-64 
requires 8 minutes to complete for a burden of 1 hour. The total burden 
is 24 hours.
