OFFICE OF PERSONNEL

MANAGEMENT

Proposed Collection: Comment

Request for Review of an Expiring

Information Collection: Procedures for

Submitting Compensation and Leave

Claims

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) intends to submit to

the Office of Management and Budget a

request for review of an expiring

information collection. Procedures for

Submitting Compensation and Leave

Claims is used to collect information

from current and former Federal

employees who are submitting a claim

for compensation and/or leave. OPM

needs this information in order to

adjudicate the claim.

Approximately 100 claims are

submitted annually. It takes

approximately 60 minutes to compile

the information needed to submit a

claim. The annual estimated burden is

100 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 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.

For copies of this proposal, contact

Mary Beth Smith-Toomey on (202) 606–

8358, or E-mail to mbtoomey@opm.gov.

DATES: Comments on this proposal
