OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT


Proposed Collection; Comment Request for Extension, Without 
Change, of a Currently Approved Collection: RI 25-51

AGENCY: Office of Personnel Management.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. 
L. 104-13, May 22, 1995 and 5 CFR part 1320), this notice announces 
that the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) intends to submit to the 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request for extension, without 
change, of a currently approved collection. RI 25-51, Civil Service 
Retirement System (CSRS) Survivor Annuitant Express Pay Application for 
Death Benefits, will be used by the Civil Service Retirement System 
solely to pay benefits to the widow(er) of an annuitant. This 
application is intended for use in immediately authorizing payments to 
an annuitant's widow or widower, based on the report of death, when our 
records show the decedent elected to provide benefits for the 
applicant.
    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 34,800 RI 25-51 forms are completed annually. The 
form takes approximately 30 minutes to complete. The annual estimated 
burden is 17,400 hours.
