OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT


Submission for Review: Reinstatement of a Previously Approved 
Information Collection Without Change, Standard Form 2812, 2812-A, and 
OPM Form 1523

AGENCY: Office of Personnel Management.

ACTION: 30-Day Notice and request for Reinstatement.

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

SUMMARY: The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) offers the general 
public and other federal agencies the opportunity to comment on a 
revised information collection request (ICR) for Standard Form 2812, 
2812-A and OPM Form 1523. The information collection was previously 
published in the Federal Register on February 21, 2018 at Volume # 83 
FR 7504 allowing for a 60-day public comment period. No comments were 
received for this information collection. The purpose of this notice is 
to allow an additional 30 days for public comments.

DATES: Comments are encouraged and will be accepted until November 9, 
2018.

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are invited to submit written comments on 
the proposed information collection to 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 via electronic mail 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 U.S. Office 
of Personnel Management, Chief Financial Office, Financial Services, 
1900 E Street NW, Room 5478, Washington, DC 20415, Attention: 
Antoinette Cunningham, or sent by email to 
[email protected].

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 providing an additional 30 
days for public comments. OPM previously solicited comments for this 
collection, with a 60-day public comment period, at 83 FR 7504 
(February 21, 2018). No comments were received. The Middle Class Tax 
Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 (Pub. L. 112-96, Section 5001), 
made two significant changes to the Federal Employees' Retirement 
System (FERS). First, beginning in 2013, new employees (as designated 
in the statute) will have to pay significantly higher employee 
contributions, an increase of 2.3 percent of salary. Second, new 
Members of Congress and Congressional employees, in addition to paying 
higher retirement contributions, will accrue retirement benefits at the 
same rate as regular employees. New employees affected by this law will 
be classified in a new retirement category; the Federal Employees' 
Retirement System--Revised Annuity Employees (FERS-RAE). The current 
Standard Form 2812, Standard Form 2812-A, and OPM Form 1523, have been 
changed to reflect this additional category.
    Reinstatement will allow continued use of the collection and an 
additional 180 days to complete the full Paperwork Reduction Act 
approval process. The Office of Personnel Management is particularly 
interested in comments that:
    1. Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the 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.
