SUBJECT CATEGORY:

Proposed Collection; Request for Comments on a Revised Information Collection

DATES: Comments on this proposal should be received within 60 calendar days from the date of this publication.

DOCUMENT SUMMARY:

In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 10413, May 22, 1995), this notice announces that the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) intends to submit to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request for comments on a revised information collection. This information collection, ``Designation of Beneficiary: Federal Employees' Group Life Insurance,'' (OMB Control No. 32060136; SF 2823), is used by any Federal employee or retiree covered by the Federal Employees' Group Life Insurance Program to instruct the Office of Federal Employees' Group Life Insurance how to distribute the proceeds of his or her life insurance when the statutory order of precedence does not meet his or her needs.

Comments are particularly invited on: Whether this collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of functions of the Office of Personnel Management, and whether it will have practical utility; whether our estimate of the public burden of this collection of information is accurate, and based on valid assumptions and methodology; and ways in which we can minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, through the use of appropriate technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology.

Approximately 47,000 SF 2823 forms are completed annually by annuitants and 1,000 forms are completed by assignees. Each form takes approximately 5 minutes to complete. The annual estimated burden is 12,000 hours.

For copies of this proposal, contact Cyrus S. Benson on (202) 606 4808, FAX (202) 6060910 or via email to Cyrus.Benson@opm.gov. Please include a mailing address with your request.
