OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT


Proposed Collection; Comment Request for Review of an Information
Collection: Form RI 25-37

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 an information
collection. Form RI 25-37, Evidence to Prove Dependency of a Child, is
designed to collect sufficient information for the OPM to be able to
determine whether the surviving child of a deceased Federal employee is
eligible to receive benefits as a dependent child.
    Approximately 250 forms are completed annually. We estimate it
takes approximately 60 minutes to assemble the needed documentation.
The annual burden is 250 hours.
    Comments are particularly invited on:
    <bullet> 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;
    <bullet> Whether our estimate of the public burden of this
collection is accurate, and based on valid assumptions and methodology;
and
    <bullet> Ways in which we can minimize the burden of the collection
of information on those who are to respond, through use of the
appropriate technological collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
    For copies of this proposal, contact Jim Farron on (202) 418-3208,
or E-mail to jmfarron@opm.gov.

DATES: Comments on this proposal should be received on or before May
