OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT

 
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request for Review of a 
Revised Information Collection: Federal Employees Health Benefits 
(FEHB) Open Season Express Interactive Voice Response (IVR) System

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 a request for review of a revised information 
collection. The FEHB Open Season Express IVR System and the open season 
web site, Open Season Online, is used by retirees and survivors; it 
collects information for changing FEHB enrollments, collecting 
dependent and other insurance information for self and family 
enrollments, requesting plan brochures, requesting a change of address, 
requesting cancellation or suspension of FEHB benefits, asking to make 
payment to the Office of Personnel Management when the FEHB payment is 
greater than the monthly annuity amount, or requesting a copy of the 
FEHB Customer Satisfaction Survey results.
    We estimate we will receive 112,000 responses per year to the IVR 
system and the on-line web site. Each response takes approximately 10 
minutes to complete. The annual burden is 18,666 hours.
    For copies of this proposal, contact Mary Beth Smith-Toomey on
