OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT


Submission for Review: Court Orders Affecting Retirement Benefits

AGENCY: U.S. Office of Personnel Management.

ACTION: 30-day notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Retirement Services, Office of Personnel Management (OPM) 
offers the general public and other Federal agencies the opportunity to 
comment on an extension, without change, of a currently approved 
information collection request (ICR), Court Orders Affecting Retirement 
Benefits.

DATES: Comments are encouraged and will be accepted until April 27, 
2017.

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are invited to submit written comments on 
the proposed information collection to Office of Information and 
Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, 725 17th Street 
NW., Washington, DC 20503, Attention: Desk Officer for the Office of 
Personnel Management or sent by email to [email protected] or 
faxed to (202) 395-6974.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: A copy of this ICR, with applicable 
supporting documentation, may be obtained by contacting the Office of 
Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, 
725 17th Street NW., Washington, DC 20503, Attention: Desk Officer for 
the Office of Personnel Management or sent by email to 
[email protected] or faxed to (202) 395-6974.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As required by the Paperwork Reduction Act 
of 1995 (Public Law 104-13, 44 U.S.C. chapter 35) as amended by the 
Clinger-Cohen Act (Pub. L. 104-106), OPM is soliciting comments for 
this collection. The information collection (OMB No. 3206-0204) was 
previously published in the Federal Register on July 21, 2016 at 81 FR 
47445 allowing for a 60-day public comment period. No comments were 
received for this information collection.
    Court Orders Affecting Retirement Benefits, 5 CFR 838.221, 838.421 
and 838.721 describe how former spouses give us written notice of a 
court order requiring us to pay benefits to the former spouse. Specific 
information is needed before OPM can make court-ordered benefit 
payments. The regulations allow us to make a unique collection of only 
the information needed for a particular customer case and not over-
burden our entire customer base by making a generic information 
collection request (ICR) that requires the former spouse (or their 
representative) to possibly review and complete information that we may 
already have access to.
    The purpose of this notice is to allow an additional 30 days for 
public comments. The Office of Management and Budget is particularly 
interested in comments that:
    1. Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of functions of OPM, including 
whether the information will have practical utility;
    2. Evaluate the accuracy of OPM's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of Information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used;
    3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
be collected; and
    4. Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those 
who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, 
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic 
submissions of responses.
