DEPARTMENT OF STATE

[Public Notice 2004]

 

Public Information Collection Requirement Submitted to OMB for 
Review

AGENCY: Department of State.

ACTION: The Department of State has resubmitted the following public 
information collection requirement to OMB for review and clearance 
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Public Law 103-94, effective February 3, 1994, authorized the 
garnishment of salary of Federal employees for unpaid debts. Under 
Executive Order 12897, the Office of Personnel Management was delegated 
authority to promulgate regulations to implement the commercial 
garnishment provisions in section 9 of that law. OPM has issued interim 
regulations which, among other things, specify the ``minimally 
required'' information to accompany legal process (5 CFR 582.203). The 
law also requires that priority be given and special treatment be 
provided for garnishments for child support and alimony under 42 U.S.C. 
659, 661, and 662. The information proposed to be collected on the 
Department of State form DS-1932 includes the minimally required 
information and facilitates differentiation between commercial 
garnishments and those for child support or alimony. The following 
summarizes the information collection proposal submitted to OMB:

Type of request--New collection
Originating office--Bureau of Legal Affairs
Title of information collection--U.S. Department of State Garnishment 
Application
Form No.--DS-1932
Frequency--On occasion
Respondents--Parties seeking garnishment of employees' salary
Estimated number of respondents--500
Average hours per response--15 minutes
Total estimated burden hours--125

    44 U.S.C. 3504(h) does not apply, as no rulemaking is being 
conducted in connection with this information collection.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION OR COMMENTS: Copies of the proposed forms and 
supporting documents may be obtained from Gail J. Cook, [phone]. 
Comments and questions should be directed to (OMB) Jefferson Hill, 
[phone].

    Dated: April 26, 1994.
Patrick F. Kennedy,
Assistant Secretary for Administration.
