13102 Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 42 / Friday, March 2, 2001 / Notices

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 reclearance of an

information collection. OPM Forms

1496 and 1496A, Application for

Deferred Retirement (Separations before

October 1, 1956) and Application for

Deferred Retirement (Separations on or

after October 1, 1956) are used by

eligible former Federal employees to

apply for a deferred Civil Service

annuity. Two forms are needed because

there was a major revision in the law

effective October 1, 1956; this affects the

general information provided with the

forms.

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 3,000 OPM Forms

1496 and 1496A will be completed

annually. We estimate it takes

approximately 1 hour to complete both

forms. The annual burden is 3,000

hours.

Mary Beth Smith-Toomey on (202) 606–
