Proposed Collection; Comment

Request for Review of a Revised

Information Collection: Form RI 95–4

AGENCY: Office of Personnel

Management.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: In accordance with the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

(Public Law 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 95–4,

Marital Information Required of Refund

Applicants for Federal Employees

Retirement System (FERS), is used by

OPM to pay refunds of retirement

contributions when the information is

not included on the SF 3106,

Application for Refund for Retirement

Deductions (FERS). To pay these

benefits, all applicants for refund must

provide information to OPM about their

marital status and whether any

spouse(s) or former spouse(s) have been

informed of the proposed refund.

Approximately 5000 RI 95–4 forms

will be completed annually. We

estimate it takes approximately 30

minutes to complete the form. The

annual burden is 2,500 hours.

Submission for OMB Review and

Request for Comments on Federal

Wage System Data Collection Forms

AGENCY: U.S. Office of Personnel

Management.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: In accordance with the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

(Public Law 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 review of data

collection forms. The Establishment

Information Form, the Wage Data

Collection Form, and the Wage Data

Collection Continuation Form are wage

survey forms developed by OPM and

used by two lead agencies, the

Department of Defense and the

Department of Veterans Affairs. Data

collectors survey 21,200 businesses

annually to determine the level of wages

paid by private sector establishments for

representative jobs common to both

private industry and the Federal

Government. Each survey collection

requires 1–4 hours of respondent

burden, resulting in a total yearly

burden of 75,800 hours. The lead

agencies use this information to

establish rates of pay for Federal Wage

System employees. For copies of this

proposal, contact Jim Farron on (202)

418–3208, or email to

jmfarron@mail.opm.gov.

DATES: Comments on this proposal must
