OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT
Proposed Collection; Comment Request for Review of an Expiring
Information Collection: OPM 1536
AGENCY: Office of Personnel Management.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Public
Law 104-13, May 22, 1995), this notice announces that the Office of
Personnel Management (OPM) intends to submit to the Office of
Management and Budget a request for review of an expiring information
collection. OPM 1536, Application for Survivor Annuity Under the Civil
Service Retirement System, is designed for use by former spouses of
Federal employees and annuitants who are applying for a monthly Civil
Service Retirement System benefit. The application collects information
about whether the applicant is covered by the Federal Employees Health
Benefits Program and about any court order which awards the applicant
retirement benefits.
Comments are particularly invited on: Whether this information is
necessary for the proper performance of functions of OPM, 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 500 OPM Forms 1536 will be completed annually. The
form takes approximately 45 minutes to complete. The annual burden is
375 hours.
