OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT

 
Proposed Collection; Comment Request for Review of a Revised 
Information Collection: RI 20-80

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 review of a revised 
information collection. RI 20-80, Alternative Annuity Election, is used 
for individuals who are eligible to elect whether to receive a reduced 
annuity and a lump-sum payment equal to their retirement contributions 
(alternative form of annuity) or an unreduced annuity and no lump sum.
    Approximately 200 RI 20-80 forms are completed annually. We 
estimate it takes approximately 20 minutes to complete the form. The 
annual burden is 67 hours.
    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.
    For copies of this proposal, contact Mary Beth Smith-Toomey on 
(202) 606-8358, FAX (202) 418-3251 or email to mbtoomey@opm.gov. Please 
include a mailing address with your request.

DATES: Comments on this proposal should be received on or before 
January 22, 2002.

ADDRESSES: Send or deliver comments to, Ronald W. Melton, Chief, 
Operations Support Division, Retirement and Insurance Service, U.S.
