SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As required by the Paperwork Reduction Act 
of 1995 OPM is soliciting comments for this collection. The information 
collection (OMB No. 3206-0197) was previously published in the Federal 
Register on March 18, 2021, at 86 FR 14771, allowing for a 60-day 
public comment period. No comments were received for this 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 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.
