OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request for the Review of a 
Revised Information Collection: RI 38-31

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 (OMB) a request for review of a revised information 
collection. RI 38-31, We Need More Information About Your Missing 
Payment, is sent in response to a notification by an individual of the 
loss or non-receipt of a payment from the Civil Service Retirement and 
Disability Fund. The form requests the information needed to enable OPM 
to trace and/or reissue payment. Missing payments may also be reported 
to OPM by a telephone call.
    Approximately 8,000 reports of missing payments are processed each 
year. Of these, we estimate that 7,800 are reports of missing checks. 
Approximately 200 reports of missing checks are reported using RI 38-31 
and 7,600 are reported by telephone. A response time of ten minutes per 
form reporting a missing check is estimated; the same amount of time is 
needed to report the missing checks or electronic funds transfer (EFT) 
payments using the telephone. The annual burden for reporting missing 
checks is 1,300 hours. The remaining 200 reports relate to EFT 
payments. No missing EFT payments are reported using RI 38-31.The 
annual burden for reporting missing EFT payments is 33 hours. The total 
burden is 1,333 hours.
