SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 (OMB No. 3206-0235). 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 functions of OPM, including 
whether the information will have practical utility;
    2. Evaluate the accuracy of OPM'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 20-64, Letter Reply to Request for 
Information, is used by the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) to 
provide information about the amount of annuity payable after a 
survivor reduction, to explain the annuity reductions required to pay 
for the survivor benefit, and to give the beginning rate of survivor 
annuity. RI 20-64A, Former Spouse Survivor Annuity Election, is used by 
the CSRS to obtain a survivor benefits election from annuitants who are 
eligible to elect to provide survivor benefits for a former spouse. RI 
20-64B, Information on Electing a Survivor Annuity for Your Former 
Spouse, is a pamphlet that provides important information to retirees 
under the CSRS who want to provide a survivor annuity for a former 
spouse.
