OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT


Proposed Collection; Comment Request for Review of a Revised 
Information Collection: SF 2817

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. SF 2817, Life Insurance Election, is used by employees to 
enroll in or change their enrollment in the Federal Employees' Group 
Life Insurance Program. The Federal Employees Life Insurance 
Improvement Act (Pub. L. 105-311), enacted on October 30, 1998, 
necessitated changes to the SF 2817. That Act allowed employees to 
elect from one to five multiples of Option C--Family life insurance. In 
the past, employees either had Option C or they did not--there were no 
multiples to elect.
    Approximately 100 forms are completed annually. Each form takes 
approximately 15 minutes to complete. The annual estimated burden is 25 
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.

DATES: Comments on this proposal should be received on or before June 
22, 1999.

Benefits Specialist, Insurance Operations Division, Retirement and
