OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT


Submission for OMB Review; 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) has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) a request for review of a revised information collection for the 
OPM Form 1644. 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, which was enacted 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.
    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 30 calendar 
days from the date of this publication.
