Compensation of Deceased Civilian Employee
AGENCY: U.S. Office of Personnel Management.
ACTION: 30-Day notice and request for comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Merit System Audit and Compliance, Office of Personnel
Management (OPM) offers the general public and other federal agencies
the opportunity to comment on an existing information collection
request (ICR) 3206-0234, Standard Form 1153, Claim for Unpaid
Compensation of Deceased Civilian Employee. As required by the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, (Pub. L. 104-13, 44 U.S.C. chapter 35)
as amended by the Clinger-Cohen Act (Pub. L. 104-106), OPM is
soliciting comments for this collection. The information collection was
previously published in the Federal Register on September 2, 2011 at
Volume 76 FR 54809 to allow for a 60-day public comment period. No
comments were received for this information collection. The purpose of
this notice is to allow an additional 30 days for public comment. The
Office of Management and Budget is particularly interested in comments
that:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility;
2. Evaluate 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. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
4. Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, 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.
DATES: Comments are encouraged and will be accepted until January 9,
2012. This process is conducted in accordance with 5 CFR 1320.1.
ADDRESSES: Interested persons are invited to submit written comments on
the proposed information collection to Classification and Pay Claims
Program Manager, U.S. Office of Personnel Management, Merit System
Audit and Compliance, Room 6484, 1900 E Street NW., Washington, DC
20415, or sent via electronic mail to [email protected].
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: A copy of this ICR, with applicable
supporting documentation, may be obtained by contacting the Office of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Standard Form 1153, Claim for Unpaid
Compensation of Deceased Civilian Employee, is used to collect
information from individuals who have been designated as beneficiaries
of the unpaid compensation of a deceased Federal employee or who
believe that their relationship to the deceased entitles them to
receive the unpaid compensation of the deceased Federal employee. OPM
needs this information to adjudicate the claim and properly assign a
deceased Federal employee's unpaid compensation to the appropriate
individual(s). The proposed revision to the expiring ICR responds to
suggestions received from users. Part B, 1. Is changed to clarify that
a beneficiary may include a legal entity or estate as provided for in 5
CFR 178.203(copyright) and to provide instructions if more room is
needed to list designated beneficiaries.
