SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As 

required by the Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995 OPM is soliciting comments 

for this collection. The information 

collection (OMB No. 3206–0226) was 

previously published in the Federal 

Register on March 30, 2017, at 82 FR 

15724, allowing for a 60-day public 

comment period. No comments were 

received for this collection. The purpose 

of this notice is to allow an additional 

30 days for public comments. 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 be 

collected; and 

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. 

Form RI 38–128 is primarily used by 

OPM to give recent retirees the 

opportunity to waive Direct Deposit of 

their annuity payments. The form is 

sent only if the separating agency did 

not give the retiring employee this 

election opportunity. This form may 

also be used to enroll in Direct Deposit, 

which was its primary use before Public 

Law 104–134 was passed. This law 

requires OPM to make all recurring 

benefit payments electronically to 

beneficiaries who live where Direct 

Deposit is available. Beneficiaries who 

do not enroll in the Direct Deposit 

Program will be enrolled in Direct 

Express.
