OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT

 
Proposed Collection; Comment Request for Review of a Revised 
Information Collection: RI 25-37

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 information 
collection. Form RI 25-37, Evidence to Prove Dependency of a Child, is 
designed to collect sufficient information for OPM to determine whether 
the surviving child of a deceased Federal employee is eligible to 
receive benefits as a dependent child.
    Approximately 250 forms are completed annually. We estimate it 
takes approximately 60 minutes to assemble the needed documentation. 
The annual burden is 250 hours.
    Comments are particularly invited on: whether this information is 
necessary for the proper performance of functions of OPM, and whether 
it will have practical utililty; 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.
