Proposed Collection; Comment Request for Review of a Revised 
Information Collection: RI 20-63, RI 20-116, RI 20-117

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 20-63, Survivor Annuity Election for a 
Spouse, is used by annuitants to elect a reduced annuity with a 
survivor annuity for their spouse. RI 20-116 is a cover letter for RI 
20-63 giving information about the cost to elect less than the maximum 
survivor annuity. This letter may be used to decline to elect. RI 20-
117 is a cover letter for RI 20-63 giving information about the cost to 
elect the maximum survivor annuity. This letter may be used to ask for 
more information or to decline to elect.
    RI 20-117 is accompanied by RI 20-63A, Information on Electing a 
Survivor Annuity for Your Spouse, or RI 20-63B, Information on Electing 
a Survivor Annuity for Your Spouse When You Are Providing a Former 
Spouse Annuity. Both booklets explain the election. RI 20-63A is for 
annuitants who do not have a former spouse who is entitled to survivor 
annuity benefit; RI 20-63B is for those who do have a former spouse who 
is entitled to a benefit. These booklets do not require OMB clearance. 
They have been included because they provide the annuitant additional 
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 
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 2,400 RI 20-63 forms are returned each year electing 
survivor annuities and 200 annuitants return the cover letter to ask 
for information about the cost to elect less than the maximum survivor 
annuity or to refuse to provide any survivor benefit. It is estimated 
to take approximately 45 minutes to complete the form with a burden of 
1,800 hours and 10 minutes to complete the letter, which gives a burden 
of 34 hours. The total burden for RI 20-63 is 1,834 hours.
    For copies of this proposal, contact Mary Beth Smith-Toomey on 
(202) 606-8358, FAX (202) 418-3251 or via e-mail to MaryBeth.Smith-
Toomey@opm.gov. Please include a mailing address with your request.
