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). OPM 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.
    OPM uses RI 20-64, Letter Reply to Request for Information, to 
explain the annuity reductions required to pay for the cost of a former 
spouse survivor annuity benefit under the Civil Service Retirement 
System (CSRS), and to provide annuitants with information about what 
the beginning rate of the survivor annuity would be if the annuitant 
ultimately elects a former spouse survivor annuity benefit. OPM uses RI 
20-64A, Former Spouse Survivor Annuity Election, to obtain an 
annuitant's former spouse survivor annuity election. RI 20-64B, 
Information on Electing a Survivor Annuity for Your Former Spouse, is a 
pamphlet that provides important information to retirees who want to 
provide a CSRS survivor annuity for a former spouse.
