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) has submitted to the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) a request for review of a revised information 
collection. SF 2800, Application for Death Benefits Under the Civil 
Service Retirement System (CSRS), is needed to collect information so 
that OPM can pay death benefits to the survivors of Federal employees 
and annuitants. SF 2800A, Documentation and Elections in Support of 
Application for Death Benefits When Deceased Was an Employee at the 
Time of Death, is needed for deaths in service only so that survivors 
can make the needed elections regarding military service.
    Approximately 68,000 SF 2800's are processed annually. The form 
requires approximately 45 minutes to complete. An annual burden of 
51,000 hours is estimated. Approximately 6,800 applicants will use SF 
2800A annually. This form also requires approximately 45 minutes to 
complete. An annual burden of 5,100 hours is estimated. The total 
burden is 56,100 hours.
