information collection. RI 78-11, Medicare Part B Certification, is
used to collect information from annuitants, their spouses, and
survivor annuitants to determine their eligibility under the Retired
Federal Employees Health Benefits Program for a Government contribution
toward the cost of Part B Medicare.
Approximately 100 RI 78-11 forms are completed annually. Each form
requires approximately 10 minutes to complete for an annual estimated
burden of 17 hours.
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 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 use of the appropriate
technological collection techniques or other forms of information
technology.
