collection request (ICR) that is described below. OMB is especially 
interested in public comment addressing the following issues: (1) 
whether this collection is necessary to the proper functions of OPM; 
(2) whether this information will be processed and used in a timely 
manner; (3) the accuracy of the burden estimate; (4) ways in which OPM 
may enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be 
collected; and (5) ways in which OPM may minimize the burden of this 
collection on the respondents, including through the use of information 
technology. Written comments received in response to this notice will 
be considered public records.
