comments were received for this information collection. The purpose of

    RI 20-7, Representative Payee Application, is used by the Civil 
Service Retirement System (CSRS) and the Federal Employees Retirement 
System (FERS) to collect information from persons applying to be 
fiduciaries for annuitants or survivor annuitants who appear to be 
incapable of handling their own funds or for minor children. RI 30-3, 
Information Necessary for a Competency Determination, collects medical 
information regarding the annuitant's competency for OPM's use in 
evaluating the annuitant's condition.
