be collected; and
    4. Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those 
who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, 
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or

assignee who owns an insured's coverage, to instruct the Office of 
Federal Employees' Group Life Insurance how to distribute the proceeds 
of the FEGLI coverage when the statutory order of precedence does not 
meet his or her needs. OPM is revising the form to clarify its policy 
regarding the filing of court orders used for the payment of FEGLI 
benefits. In addition, OPM is making some minor textual changes to 
explain how and to whom proceeds can be designated, and to emphasize 
that the insured individual keep the designation updated as needs 
change.
