SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Assignment of Federal Employee's Group Life Insurance (FEGLI) Program, RI 76–10, allows an insured individual to transfer ownership, or “assign” the FEGLI coverage to a third party. An insured may assign for several reasons; for example, for financial planning purposes, or to comply with a court order, or to sell the coverage to a third-party. Unlike a designation of beneficiary, once an assignment is executed, it is irrevocable.

As required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104–13, 94 Stat. 2812 (1980), and as amended by the Clinger-Cohen Act, Public Law 104–106, 110 Stat. 186 (1996), OPM is soliciting comments for this collection of information (OMB No. 3206–0270). The Office of Management and Budget is particularly interested in comments that consider the following:

1. Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility;

2. The accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used;

3. Whether the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected could be enhanced; and

4. Whether the burden of the collection of information could be minimized on those who are responsible for providing this information, including through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology ( e.g., permitting electronic submissions of responses).
