OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT

 
Proposed Collection; Comment Request for Review of a Revised 
Information Collection: RI 38-128

AGENCY: Office of Personnel Management.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. 
L. 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 38-128, It's Time to Sign Up for Direct 
Deposit, is used to give recent retirees the opportunity to waive 
Direct Deposit of their payment from OPM. The form is sent to the 
annuitant by OPM only if the separating agency did not give the 
retiring employee this election opportunity.
    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 45,500 forms are completed annually. The form takes 
approximately 30 minutes to complete. The annual estimated burden is 
22,750 hours.
    For copies of this proposal, contact Mary Beth Smith-Toomey on 
(202) 606-8358, FAX (202) 418-3251 or via E-mail to mbtoomey@opm.gov. 
Please include a mailing address with your request.

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

ADDRESSES: Send or deliver comments to--Ronald W. Melton, Chief, 
Operations Support Group, Retirement Services, U.S. Office of Personnel 
Management, 1900 E Street, NW., Room 3349, Washington, DC 20415-3540.
