OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT

 
Proposed Collection; Comment Request for Review of a Revised 
Information Collection: Forms RI 38-117, RI 38-118 and RI 37-22

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 38-117, Rollover Election, is used to 
collect information from each payee affected by a change in the tax 
code (Public Law 102-318) so that OPM can make payment in accordance 
with the wishes of the payee. RI 38-118, Rollover Information, explains 
the election. RI 37-22, Special Tax Notice Regarding Rollovers, 
provides more detailed information.
    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 
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 the appropriate 
technological collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology.
    Approximately 1,500 RI 38-117 forms will be completed annually. We 
estimated it takes approximately 30 minutes to complete the form. The 
annual burden is 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.
