SUMMARY: In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(Public Law 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 an existing information collection.
Standard Form 3112, CSRS/FERS
Documentation in Support of Disability
Retirement Application, collects
information from applicants for
disability retirement so that OPM can
determine whether to approve a
disability retirement. The applicant will
only complete Standard Forms 3112A
and 3112C. Standard Forms 3112B,
3112D and 3112E will be completed by
the immediate supervisor and the
employing agency of the applicant.
Comments are particularly invited on:
Whether this information is necessary
for the proper performance of functions
of the 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.
Approximately 12,100 applicants for
disability retirement complete Standard
Forms 3112A and 3112C annually. This
is a combined figure including 9,000
CSRS and 3,100 FERS applications. The
SF 3112C requires approximately 60
minutes to complete. A burden of
12,100 hours is estimated for SF 3112C.
SF 3112A is used each year by
approximately 1,350 persons who are
not Federal employees. This is a
combined figure including 1,000 CSRS
and 350 FERS applications. SF 3112A
requires approximately 30 minutes to
complete and a burden of 675 hours is
estimated for SF 3112A. The total
annual burden for SF 3112 is 12,775
hours.

Report, is used each year to obtain the
earned income of each Federal
Employees Retirement System (FERS)
annuitant receiving an annuity
supplement. The annuity supplement is
paid to eligible FERS annuitants who
are not retired on disability and are not
yet age 62. The supplement
approximates the portion of a full career
Social Security benefit earned while
under FERS and ends at age 62. Like
Social Security benefits, the annuity
supplement is subject to an earnings
limitation.

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Public
Law 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

opportunity to waive Direct Deposit of their annuity payments. The form

employee this election opportunity. This form may also be used to
enroll in Direct Deposit, which was
[[Page 67935]]

OPM to make all annuity payments by Direct Deposit unless the payee has
waived the service in writing.

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
