On April 27, 2007, USTR announced
the results of the 2007 Special 301
Review and stated that an Out-of-Cycle
Review of Russia would be conducted
this year. Pursuant to this Out-of-Cycle
Review of Russia, USTR requests
written submissions from the public
concerning Russia’s acts, policies, and
practices regarding the adequacy and
effectiveness of Russia’s intellectual
property protection and enforcement. In
particular, USTR requests that
comments address Russia’s
implementation of the United StatesRussia Bilateral IPR Agreement of
November 19, 2006 (available on
USTR’s Web site at https://
www.ustr.gov).
Requirements for comments:
Comments should include a description
of experiences with respect to Russia in
the field of intellectual property rights
and the effect of Russian IPR acts,
policies, and practices on U.S. industry.
Comments should be as detailed as
possible and should provide all
necessary information for assessing the
effect of Russia’s acts, policies, and
practices. Any comments that include
quantitative loss claims should be
accompanied by the methodology used
in calculating such estimated losses.
Comments must be in English. No
submissions will be accepted via postal
service mail. Documents should be
submitted as either WordPerfect, MS
Word, .pdf, or text (.TXT) files.
Supporting documentation submitted as
spreadsheets are acceptable as Quattro

public through electronic or other
means. A submitter requesting that
information contained in a comment be
treated as confidential business
information must certify that such
information is business confidential and
would not customarily be released to
the public by the submitter. A nonconfidential version of the comment
must also be provided. For any
document containing business
confidential information, the file name
of the business confidential version
should begin with the characters ‘‘BC-’’,
and the file name of the public version
should begin with the character ‘‘P-’’.
The ‘‘P-’’ or ‘‘BC-’’ should be followed
by the name of the submitter.
Submissions should not include
separate cover letters; information that
might appear in a cover letter should be
included in the submission itself. To the
extent possible, any attachments to the
submission should be included in the
same file as the submission itself, and
not as separate files.

Proposed Collection; Comment
Request for Revision of a Currently
Approved Collection: OPM Forms 1496
and 1496A
Office of Personnel
Management.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
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 revision of a
currently approved collection. OPM
Forms 1496 and 1496A, Application for
Deferred Retirement (Separations on or
after October 1, 1956) are used by
eligible former Federal employees to
apply for a deferred Civil Service
annuity. Two forms were needed
because there was a major revision in
the law effective October 1, 1956; this
affected the general information
SUMMARY:

provided with both forms. However, we
will no longer maintain a clearance of
the OPM 1496, the waning population
affected by this form is less than ten
respondents a year. We are therefore
requesting clearance of the revised OPM
1496A.
Comments are particularly invited on:
Whether this 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 2,800 OPM Form
1496A will be completed annually. We
estimate it takes approximately 1 hour
to complete this form. The annual
burden is 2,800 hours.
For copies of this proposal, contact
Mary Beth Smith-Toomey on (202) 606–

or for minor children. RI 30–3,
