OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT

 
Proposed Collection; Comment Request for Review of an Expiring 
Information Collection: RI 92-19

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 an expiring 
information collection. RI 92-19, Application for Deferred or Postponed 
Retirement: Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS), is used by 
separated employees to apply for either a deferred or a postponed FERS 
annuity benefit.
    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 1,272 forms are completed annually. The form takes 
approximately 60 minutes to complete. The annual estimated burden is 
1,272 hours.

(202) 606-8358, FAX (202) 418-3251 or via e-mail to mbtoomey@opm.gov. 
Please include a mailing address with your request.

DATES: Comments on this proposal should be received on or before 
November 7, 2003.
