Abstract: Article III of the Panama

Canal Treaty of 1977 and section 1101

of its implementing legislation, Pub. L.

96–70, as amended, vests in the Panama

Canal Commission the responsibility

and authority to maintain and operate

the Panama Canal. Section 1801 of Pub.

L. 96–70, codified at 22 U.S.C. 3811,

explicitly authorizes the Commission to

promulgate regulations governing

navigation of the waters of the Panama

Canal. The information, required by

various sections of Subchapter C

(Shipping and Navigation) of Title 35 of

the Code of Federal Regulations, and

September 30, 1994 and September 30,

1997. The forms required by those

regulations, which make up the

collection of information, are used to

collect, from vessels arriving in the

Panama Canal waters, information

required to assure the vessels are in

compliance with Panama Canal

Commission shipping and navigation

regulations. The information collected

will be used for economic analyses,

traffic forecasting, identification,

tonnage calculation, billing, safety and

sanitation purposes.

Personnel Management (OPM) intends

to submit to the Office of Management

OPM to pay refunds of retirement

contributions when the information is

not included on the SF 3106,

Application for Refund for Retirement

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

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
