SUMMARY: The Retirement Services, Office of Personnel Management (OPM)

U.S.C. chapter 35) as amended by the Clinger-Cohen Act (Pub. L. 104-

DATES: Comments are encouraged and will be accepted until September 15, 
2014. This process is conducted in accordance with 5 CFR 1320.1.

ADDRESS: Interested persons are invited to submit written comments on 
the proposed information collection to the Retirement Services, 
Operations Support, Office of Personnel Management, Union Square Room

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Office of Management and Budget is 
particularly interested in comments that:
    1. Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility;
    2. Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of 
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used;
    3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
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 
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic 
submissions of responses.
    SF 2800 is needed to collect information so that OPM can pay death 
benefits to the survivors of Federal employees and annuitants. SF 2800A 
is needed for deaths in service so that survivors can make the needed 
elections regarding military service.
