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. The information collection was previously published in the 
Federal Register on March 23, 2020 at Volume 85 FR 16389 allowing for a 
60-day public comment period. No comments were received for this 
information collection. The purpose of this notice is to allow an 
additional 30 days for public comments. 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 98-7 is used by OPM to verify receipt of Social Security 
Administration (SSA) disability benefits, to lessen or avoid 
overpayment to Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS) disability 
retirees. It notifies the annuitant of the responsibility to notify OPM 
if SSA awards disability benefits and the subsequent overpayment that 
will occur with the receipt of both benefits.
