OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT


Proposed Collection; Comment Request for Review of a Revised 
Information Collection: SF 2823

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 2823, Designation of Beneficiary for Federal Employees' 
Group Life Insurance, is used by any Federal employee or retiree 
covered by the Federal Employees' Group Life Insurance Program to 
instruct the Office of Federal Employees' Group Life Insurance how to 
distribute the proceeds of his or her life insurance when the statutory 
order of precedence does not meet his or her needs.
    Comments are particularly invited on:

--Whether this 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 of 
information 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 the use of appropriate 
technological collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology.

    We estimate 1,000 SF 2823 forms are completed annually by 
annuitants. Each form takes approximately 15 minutes to complete for an 
annual estimated burden of 250 hours.
    For copies of this proposal, contact Mary Beth Smith-Toomey on

DATES: Comments on this proposal should be received on or before 
October 12, 1999.
