OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT

Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request for Review of a
Revised & Expiring Information Collection: Form SF 2802 and SF 2802B

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) submitted to the Office of Management and
Budget a request for review of the following revised and expiring
information collections: The SF 2802, Application for Refund of
Retirement Deductions (Civil Service Retirement System) and

[[Page 17038]]

SF 2802B, Current/Former Spouse's Notification of Application for
Refund of Retirement Deductions. The OPM must have the SF 2802
completed and signed before paying a refund of retirement contributions
from the Civil Service Retirement and Disability Fund. SF 2802B must be
completed in those instances where there is a spouse or former
spouse(s) who must be notified of the employee's intent to take a
refund from the Fund.
    OPM's 60 Day Federal Register Notice included the form RI 36-7,
Marital Information Required of Refund Applicants; it is no longer
needed because the SF 2802 includes the same information.
    Approximately 32,100 SF 2802 forms are completed annually. We
estimate it takes approximately 45 minutes to complete the form. The
annual burden is 24,075 hours. Approximately 28,890 SF 2802B forms are
processed annually. We estimate it takes approximately 15 minutes to
complete this form. The annual burden is 7,223 hours. The total annual
burden is 31,298 hours. Since the RI 36-7 is no longer needed, our
annual burden decreased by 6,335 hours. The total number of
applications continues to decrease under this program.
