OFFICE OF PERSONNEL

MANAGEMENT

Proposed Collection; Comment

Request for Review of a Revised

Information Collection: RI 25–51

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 (OPM) intends

to submit to the Office of Management

and Budget a request for review of a

revised information collection. RI 25–

51, Civil Service Retirement System

(CSRS) Survivor Annuitant Express Pay

Application for Death Benefits, will be

used by the Civil Service Retirement

System solely to pay benefits to the

widow(er) of an annuitant. This

application is intended for use in

immediately authorizing payments to an

annuitant’s widow or widower, based

on the report of death, when our records

show the decedent elected to provide

benefits for the applicant.

Comments are particularly invited on:

whether this information is necessary

for the proper performance of functions

of OPM, 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 22,000 RI 25–51 forms

will be completed annually. We

estimate it takes approximately 30

minutes to complete the form. The

annual estimated burden is 11,000

hours.

For copies of this proposal, contact
