Proposed Collection; Comment

Request for Reclearance of an

Information Collection: Form OPM

1530

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 intends to

submit to the Office of Management and

Budget a request for reclearance of an

information collection. OPM Form 1530,

Report of Medical Examination of

Person Electing Survivor Benefit

(CSRS), is used to collect sufficient

information from the required medical

examination regarding an annuitant’s

health. This information is used to

determine whether the insurable

interest survivor benefits election can be

allowed.

Approximately 500 OPM Forms 1530

will be completed annually. We

estimate it takes approximately 90

minutes to complete the form. The

annual burden is 750 hours.

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 use of the

appropriate technological collection

techniques or other forms of

information technology.
