OFFICE OF PERSONNEL

MANAGEMENT

[SF 2817]

Proposed Collection; Comment

Request Review of a New Information

Collection

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 will be

submitting to the Office of Management

and Budget a request for clearance of a

new information collection. SF 2817,

Federal Employees’ Group Life

Insurance Election, is used to enroll or

change elections under the Federal

Employees’ Group Life Insurance

Program. This form is proposed for

clearance because Federal employees

and retirees can now assign (give up

ownership) of their insurance coverage.

Assignees may now use the SF 2817 to

make election changes to decrease the

employee’s or retiree’s coverage. Since

assignees are members of the public,

OMB clearance is now required for this

form. We are clearing this form for

assignees only.

We estimate 100 forms are completed

annually by assignees. Each form takes

approximately 15 minutes to complete.

The annual estimated burden is 25

hours.
