OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT

 
Proposed Collection; Comment Request for Review of an Expiring 
Information Collection: RI 20-80

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 a request for review of an expiring 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 this 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 
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.
    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.
