OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT
Proposed Collection; Request for Comments on a Revised
Information Collection: (OMB Control No. 3206-0170; Standard Forms SF
3106 and SF 3106A)
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) intends to submit to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) a request for review of a revised
information collection. This information collection, ``Application for
Refund of Retirement Deductions Federal Employees Retirement System
(FERS),'' (OMB Control No. 3206-0170; Standard Form 3106), is used by
former Federal employees under FERS, to apply for a refund of
retirement deductions withheld during Federal employment, plus any
interest provided by law. ``Current/Former Spouse(s) Notification of
Application for Refund of Retirement Deductions Under FERS'' (OMB
Control No. 3206-0170; Standard Form 3106A), is used by refund
applicants to notify their current/former spouse(s) that they are
applying for a refund of retirement deductions, which is required by
law.
Comments are particularly invited on: whether this collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of functions of the
Office of Personnel Management, and whether it will have practical
utility; whether our estimate of the public burden of this collection
of information is 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.
Approximately 17,000 SF 3106 forms will be processed annually. The
SF 3106 takes approximately 30 minutes to complete for a total of 8,500
hours annually. Approximately 13,600 SF 3106A forms will be processed
annually. The SF 3106A takes approximately 5 minutes to complete for a
total of 1,133 hours. The total annual estimated burden is 9,633 hours.

0623, FAX (202) 606- 0910 or via e-mail to [email protected]. Please
