the proposed information collection to U.S. Office of Personnel 
Management, Retirement Services, 1900 E Street NW., Room 2347-E, 
Washington, DC 20415, Attention: Alberta Butler or sent via electronic 
mail to [email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: A copy of this ICR, with applicable 
supporting documentation, may be obtained by contacting the Retirement 
Services Publications Team, U.S. Office of Personnel Management, 1900 E 
Street NW., Room 3316-L, Washington, DC 20415, Attention: Cyrus S. 
Benson or sent via electronic mail to [email protected] or faxed to 
(202) 606-0910.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As required by the Paperwork Reduction Act 
of 1995, (Pub. L. 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 (OBM No 3206-0226). 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 the agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility;
    2. Evaluate the accuracy of the agency'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.
    Form RI 38-128 is primarily used by OPM to give recent retirees the 
opportunity to waive Direct Deposit of their annuity payments. The form 
is sent only if the separating agency did not give the retiring 
employee this election opportunity. This form may also be used to 
enroll in Direct Deposit, which was its primary use before Public Law 
104-134 was passed. This law requires OPM to make all recurring 
benefits payments electronically to beneficiaries who live where Direct 
Deposit is available. Beneficiaries who do not enroll in the Direct 
Deposit Program will be enrolled in Direct Express.
