Submission for OMB Review; 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 (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. This information collection, ``Application for Death 
Benefits under the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS)'' (OMB 
Control No. 3206-0156; form SF 2800), is needed to collect information 
so that OPM can pay death benefits to the survivors of Federal 
employees and annuitants. ``Documentation and Elections in Support of 
Application for Death Benefits When Deceased Was an Employee at the 
Time of Death'' (OMB Control No. 3206-0156; form SF 2800A), is needed 
for deaths in service so that survivors can make the needed elections 
regarding military service. Every applicant who uses SF 2800 should 
read SF 2800-1, Applying for Death Benefits under CSRS. This brief 
booklet provides the general information applicants need to understand 
what they are applying for.
    Approximately 68,000 SF 2800's are processed annually. The 
completion time for this form is approximately 45 minutes. An annual 
burden of 51,000 hours is estimated. Approximately 6,800 applicants 
will use SF 2800A annually. Each form takes approximately 45 minutes to 
complete. An annual estimated burden of 5,100 hours is estimated. The 
total annual burden for this information collection is 56,100 hours.
