#  Proposed Collection; Comment Request for Review of a Revised Information Collection OPM 1530

**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. OPM 1530, Report of Medical Examination of Person Electing Survivor Benefits Under the Civil Service Retirement System, is used to collect sufficient information from the required medical examination regarding an annuitant's health. This information is used to determine whether the insurable interest survivor benefits election can be allowed.

Comments are particularly invited on: whether this information is necessary for the proper performance of functions of OPM, 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.

Approximately 500 OPM Forms 1530 will be completed annually. We estimate it takes approximately 90 minutes to complete the form. The annual burden is 750 hours.

For copies of this proposal, contact Mary Beth Smith-Toomey on (202) 606-8358, or E-mail to [email protected].

**DATES:**

Comments on this proposal should be received on or before April 24, 2001.

**ADDRESSES:**

Send or deliver comments to: Ronald W. Melton, Chief, Operations Support Division, Retirement and Insurance Service, U.S. Office of Personnel Management, 1900 E Street NW., Room 3349A, Washington, DC 20415.

**FOR INFORMATION REGARDING ADMINISTRATIVE COORDINATION CONTACT:**

Donna G. Lease, Team Leader, Forms Analysis and Design, Budget and Administrative Services Division, (202) 606-0623.
