SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As required by the Paperwork Reduction Act 
of 1995 OPM is soliciting comments for this collection. The information 
collection (OMB No. 3206-0156) was previously published in the Federal 
Register on February 10, 2021 at 86 FR 8930, allowing for a 60-day 
public comment period. Two comments were received, but they had no 
relation to this information collection request.
    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 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.
    Standard Form 2800 is needed to collect information so that OPM can 
pay death benefits to the survivors of Federal employees and 
annuitants. Standard Form 2800A is needed for deaths in service so that 
survivors can make the needed elections regarding military service.
