Proposed Collection; Comment 

Request for Review of an Existing 

Information Collection: Court Orders 

Affecting Retirement Benefits, 5 CFR 

838.221, 838.421, and 838.721 

AGENCY: Office of Personnel 

Management. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. 

L. 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 

(OMB) a request for review of an 

existing information collection. The 

regulations describe how former 

spouses give us written notice of a court 

order requiring us to pay benefits to the 

former spouse. Specific information is 

needed before OPM can make courtordered benefit payments. 

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 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 19,000 former spouses 

apply for benefits based on court orders 

annually. We estimate it takes 

approximately 30 minutes to collect the 

information. The annual burden is 9,500 

hours. 

For copies of this proposal, contact 

Mary Beth Smith-Toomey on (202) 606–

8358, FAX (202) 418–3251 or via E-mail 

to MaryBeth.Smith-Toomey@opm.gov. 

Please include a mailing address with 

your request. 

DATES: Comments on this proposal 

should be received within 60 calendar 

days from the date of this publication.
