OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT

Proposed Collection; Comment Request for Review of a Revised
Information Collection: Form 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 a request for review of a revised 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. We estimate it
takes approximately 60 minutes to complete the form. The annual
estimated burden is 1,272 hours.
    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 June
26, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Send or deliver comments to John Crawford, Chief, FERS
Division, Retirement and Insurance Service, U.S. Office of Personnel
Management, 1900 E Street, NW, Room 3313, Washington, DC 20415.
