OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT
Proposed Collection; Comment Request for Clearance of a Revised
Information Collection: SF 3106 and SF 3106A
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 (OMB) a request for clearance of a revised
information collection. SF 3106, Application for Refund of Retirement
Deductions/Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS), is used by
former Federal employees under FERS, to apply for a refund of
retirement deductions
[[Page 48296]]
withheld during Federal employment, plus any interest provided by law.
SF 3106A, Current/Former Spouse(s) Notification of Application for
Refund of Retirement Deductions Under FERS, is used by refund
applicants to notify their current/former spouse(s) that they are
applying for a refund of retirement deductions, which is required by
law.
Comments are particularly invited on:
whether this collection of 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 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 use of the
appropriate technological collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
Approximately 21,585 SF 3106, Application for Refund of Retirement
Deductions, will be processed annually. The SF 3106 takes approximately
30 minutes to complete for a total of 10,793 hours annually.
Approximately 17,268 of SF 3106A, Current/Former Spouse's Notification
of Application for Refund of Retirement Deductions, will be processed
annually. The SF 3106A takes approximately 5 minutes to complete for a
total of 1,439 hours. The total annual burden is 12,232.
