    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 a request for review of a revised information collection. 
    FEHB Annuitant Express Open Season IVR is used by retirees and 
    survivors to collect information for changing FEHB enrollments, 
    requesting plan brochures, requesting a change of address, requesting 
    cancellation or suspension of FEHB benefits, requesting payment 
    directly to OPM where the FEHB payment is greater than the monthly 
    annuity amount, or requesting a copy of the FEHB Customer Satisfaction 
    Survey results. We are replacing the OPM 2809 EZ1 and OPM 2809 EZ2 with 
    the IVR technology to improve our response time to our customers.
        We estimate 109,600 requests will be completed annually. Each 
    request takes approximately 10 minutes to complete. The annual 
    estimated burden is 18,167 hours. For copies of this proposal, contact 
    Jim Farron on (202) 418-3208, or E-mail to jmfarron@opm.gov
    
    DATES: Comments on this proposal should be received on or before 
    September 12, 1997.
