OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request for a Revised
Information Collection
AGENCY: Office of Personnel Management.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Public
Law 104-13, May 22, 1995), this notice announces that the Office of
Personnel Management will submit to the Office of Management and Budget
a request for reclearance of a revised information collection.
Application to Participate as a Carrier Under 5 U.S.C. 8903(4), is used
by OPM to determine if Comprehensive Medical Plans applying for
participation in the Federal Employees Health Benefit Program meet the
requirements for participation. The revised application considerably
lessens the information collection burden of the current application.
This revision needs to be in place by the end of 1996 so plans can use
it during the next application cycle.
The total annual reporting burden is estimated to be 4,500 hours
based on 50 applications at an average time burden of 90 hours per
plan.
