OFFICE OF PERSONNEL

MANAGEMENT

Submission for OMB Review;

Comment Request for Reclearance of

an Information Collection: Form RI 20–

80

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 reclearance of

an information collection. RI 20–80,

Alternative Annuity Election, is used for

individuals who are eligible to elect

whether to receive a reduced annuity

and a lump-sum payment equal to their

retirement contributions (alternative

form of annuity) or an unreduced

annuity and no lump sum.

Comments are particularly invited on:

whether this 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

the use of appropriate technological

collection techniques or other forms of

information technology.

Approximately 200 RI 20–80 forms

are completed annually. We estimate it

takes approximately 20 minutes to

complete the form. The annual burden

is 67 hours. For copies of this proposal,

contact Jim Farron on (202) 418–3208,

or E-mail to jmfarron@opm.gov

DATES: Comments on this proposal

should be received by July 6, 1998.
