OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT

Proposed Collection; Comment Request for Expiring Information
Collections: SF 2802 and SF 2802B

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 reclearance of an information
collection, the SF 2802, Application for Refund of Retirement
Deductions (Civil Service Retirement System) and SF 2802B, Current/
Former Spouse's Notification of Application for Refund of Retirement
Deductions. OPM must have the SF 2802 completed and signed before
paying a refund of retirement contributions from the Civil Service
Retirement and Disability Fund. SF 2802B must be completed in those
instances where there is a spouse or former spouse(s) who must be
notified of the employee's intent to take a refund from the Fund.
    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 32,000 SF 2802 forms are completed annually. We
estimate it takes approximately 45 minutes to complete the form. The
annual burden is 24,075 hours. Approximately 28,890 SF 2802B forms are
processed annually. We estimate it takes approximately 15 minutes to
complete this form. The annual burden is 7,223 hours. The total annual
burden is 31,298 hours.
