OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request for Reclearance of
Revised Information Collections: OPM Form 1496 and 1496A

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) has submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget a request for reclearance of a revised information
collection. OPM Forms 1496 and 1496A, Application for Deferred
Retirement (Separations before October 1, 1956) and Application for
Deferred Retirement (Separations on or after October 1, 1956) are used
by eligible former Federal employees to apply for a deferred Civil
Service annuity. Two forms are needed because there was a major
revision in the law effective October 1, 1956; this affects the general
information provided with the forms.
    Approximately 3,000 OPM Forms 1496 and 1496A will be completed
annually. We estimate it takes approximately 1 hour to complete the
form. The annual burden is 3,000 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
