AGENCY: U.S. Office of Personnel Management.
ACTION: 30-Day Notice and request for comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Retirement Services, Office of Personnel Management (OPM)
offers the general public and other federal agencies the opportunity to
comment on an extension, without change, of a currently approved
information collection request (ICR) 3206-0197, Verification of Who is
Getting Payments. 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 July 22, 2011 at Volume 76 FR 44051 allowing 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 comments. 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 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 30,
2012.

the proposed information collection to the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, 725 17th Street

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: RI 38-107, Verification of Who is Getting
Payments, is designed for use by the Retirement Inspection Branch when
OPM, for any reason, must verify that the entitled person is indeed
receiving the monies payable. RI 38-147, Verification of Who is Getting
Payments, collects the same information and is used by other groups
within Retirement Operations. Failure to collect this information would
cause OPM to pay monies absent the assurance of a correct payee.
