Submission for Review: Verification of Who is Getting Payments, 
RI 38-107 and RI 38-147, 3206-0197

AGENCY: U.S. Office of Personnel Management.

ACTION: 60-Day notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Retirement Services, Office of Personnel Management (OPM) 
offers the general public and other Federal agencies the opportunity to 
comment on an extension, without change, of a currently approved 
information collection request (ICR) 3206-0197, Verification of Who is 
Getting Payments. As required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 
(Pub. L. 104-13, 44 U.S.C. chapter 35) as amended by the Clinger-Cohen 
Act (Pub. L. 104-106), OPM is soliciting comments for this collection.

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

ADDRESSES: 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 
370, 1900 E Street NW., Washington, DC 20415-3500, Attention: Alberta 
Butler or via electronic mail to [email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: A copy of this ICR, with applicable 
supporting documentation, may be obtained by contacting the Retirement 
Services Publications Team, Office of Personnel Management, 1900 E 
Street NW., Room 3316-AC, Washington, DC 20415, Attention: Cyrus S. 
Benson, or sent via electronic mail to [email protected].

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.
    RI 38-107 is designed for use by the Retirement Inspection Branch 
when OPM, for any reason, must verify that the entitled person is 
indeed receiving the monies payable. RI 38-147 collects the same 
information and is used by other groups within Retirement Operations. 
Failure to collect this information would cause OPM to pay monies 
absent the assurance of a correct payee.
