OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT


Proposed Collection; Comment Request for Review of an Information 
Collection: RI 38-45

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 an information 
collection. RI 38-45, We Need the Social Security Number of the Person 
Named Below, is used by the Civil Service Retirement System and the 
Federal Employees Retirement System to identify the records of 
individuals with similar or the same names. It is also needed to report 
payments to the Internal Revenue Service.
    Approximately 3,000 RI 38-45 forms are completed annually. Each 
form requires approximately 5 minutes to complete. The annual estimated 
burden is 250 hours.
    Comments are particularly invited on:

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