the same information and is used by 

other groups within Retirement 

Operations. Failure to collect this 

information would cause OPM to pay 

monies absent the assurance of a correct 

payee.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As 

required by the Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995 OPM is soliciting comments 

for this collection. The information 

collection (OMB No. 3206–0170) was 

previously published in the Federal 

Register on December 30, 2020 at 85 FR 

86583, allowing for a 60-day public 

comment period. One comment was 

received. Our response is as follows: 

‘‘This is written in response to the 

comment on Federal Register 

Document #2020–28900 regarding the 

Application for Refund of Retirement 

Deductions, Standard Form (SF)–3106 

and Current/Former Spouse(s) 

Notification of Application for Refund 

of Retirement Deductions Under FERS, 

SF–3106A. 

The Standard Form 3106 is used by 

former Federal employees under the 

Federal Employees Retirement System 

(FERS) to apply for a refund of 

retirement deductions withheld during 

Federal employment, plus any interest 

provided by law. Standard Form 3106A, 

Current/Former Spouse(s) Notification 

of Application for Refund of Retirement 

Deductions under FERS, is used by 

refund applicants to notify their 

current/former spouse(s) that they are 

applying for a refund of retirement 

deductions, which is required by law. 

The Office of Personnel Management 

finds that the comments received are 

not relevant to the use of these forms. 

The Uniformed Services Employment 

and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994 

(USERRA) covers certain Federal 

employees in the armed forces, the 

reserves, the National Guard and 

commissioned corps of the Public 

Health Service. The USERRA law allows 

for restoration to the position he or she 

would have attained had the employee 

not entered the uniformed service 

provided certain conditions are met. 

Since enactment of the law, OPM has 

provided guidance to agencies on 

processing service credit deposits for 

such cases. 

It appears that the comments are case 

specific to the processing of service 

credit deposits. If denied the 

opportunity to make the service credit 

deposit, the individual would have 

received a denial decision and provided 

information on his/her right to file a 

request for reconsideration.’’ 

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 functions 

of the agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

2. Evaluate the accuracy of the

Standard Form 3106, Application for 

Refund of Retirement Deductions under 

FERS is used by former Federal 

employees under FERS, to apply for a 

refund of retirement deductions 

withheld during Federal employment, 

plus any interest provided by law. 

Standard Form 3106A, Current/Former 

Spouse(s) Notification of Application 

for Refund of Retirement Deductions 

under FERS, is used by refund 

applicants to notify their current/former 

spouse(s) that they are applying for a 

refund of retirement deductions, which 

is required by law.

clarity of the information that is the 

subject of collection; and (4) ways to 

minimize the burden of collections on 

respondents, including the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

Comments to the RRB or OIRA must 

contain the OMB control number of the 

ICR. For proper consideration of your 

comments, it is best if the RRB and
