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) has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request for review of a revised information collection. This information collection, “Application for Refund of Retirement Deductions, Civil Service Retirement System” (OMB Control No. 3206-0128; Standard Form 2802) is used to support the payment of monies from the Retirement Fund. It identifies the applicant for refund of retirement deductions. “Current/Former Spouse's Notification of Application for Refund of Retirement Deductions” (OMB Control No. 3206-0128; Standard Form 2802A), is used to comply with the legal requirement that any spouse or former spouse of the applicant has been notified that the former employee is applying for a refund.

Approximately 3,741 SF 2802 forms are completed annually. We estimate it takes approximately one hour to complete the form. The annual estimated burden is 3,741 hours. Approximately 3,389 SF 2802A forms are processed annually. We estimate it takes approximately 15 minutes to complete this form. The annual burden is 847 hours. The total annual burden is 4,588 hours.
