No comments were received for this information collection. The purpose 
of this notice is to allow an additional 30 days for public comments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Office of Management and Budget is 
particularly interested in comments that:
    1. Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility;
    2. Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of 
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used;
    3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to

    4. Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those 
who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, 
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic 
submissions of responses. SF 2800 is needed to collect information so 
that OPM can pay death benefits to the survivors of Federal employees 
and annuitants. SF 2800A is needed for deaths in service so that 
survivors can make the needed elections regarding military service.
