Proposed Information Collection; 

Request for Comments on an Existing 

Information Collection 

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. This 

information collection, ‘‘Medicare Part 

B Certification’’ (OMB Control No. 

3206–0017; Form RI 78–11), collects 

information from annuitants, their 

spouses, and survivor annuitants to 

determine their eligibility under the 

Retired Federal Employees Health 

Benefits Program for a Government 

contribution toward the cost of Part B of 

Medicare. 

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 100 RI 78–11 forms 

are completed annually. Each form 

requires approximately 10 minutes to 

complete. The annual estimated burden 

is 17 hours.

Margaret A. Miller by telephone at (202)
