Collection: Information and

Instructions on Your Reconsideration

Rights, RI 38–47

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 review of an

information collection. Information and

Instructions on Your Reconsideration

Rights, RI 38–47, outlines the

procedures required to request

reconsideration of an initial OPM

decision about Civil Service or Federal

Employees retirement, Retired Federal

or Federal Employee Health Benefits

requests to enroll or change enrollment,

or Federal Employees’ Group Life

Insurance coverage. The forms lists the

procedures and time periods required

for requesting reconsideration.

Approximately 6,000 annuitants and

survivors request reconsideration

annually. We estimate it takes

approximately 45 minutes to apply. The

annual burden is 4500 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.
