OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT


Proposed Collection; Comment Request for Review of a Revised 
Information Collection: RI 25-7

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 a request for review of a revised information 
collection. RI 25-7, Marital Status Certification, is used to determine 
whether widows, widowers, and former spouses receiving survivor 
annuities from OPM have remarried before reaching age 55 and, thus, are 
no longer eligible for benefits from OPM.
    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 1000 forms are completed annually. Each form takes 
approximately 15 minutes to complete. The annual estimated burden is 
250 hours.
    For copies of this proposal, contact Mary Beth Smith-Toomey on 
(202) 606-8358, or E-mail to mbtoomey@opm.gov

DATES: Comments on this proposal should be received on or before August 
23, 1999.

ADDRESSES: Send or deliver comments to--Victor J. Roy, Chief, 
Eligibility Division, Retirement and Insurance Service, U.S. Office of 
Personnel Management, 1900 E Street, NW, Room 2336, Washington, DC 
20415.
