SUBJECT CATEGORY: Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request for Review of an Existing Information Collection: Court Orders Affecting Retirement Benefits

DATES: Comments on this proposal should be received within 30 calendar days from the date of this publication.

DOCUMENT SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 10413, May 22, 1995), this notice announces that the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request for review of an existing information collection. The regulations describe how former spouses give us written notice of a court order requiring us to pay benefits to the [[Page 41134]]
former spouse. Specific information is needed before OPM can make courtordered benefit payments.

Approximately 19,000 former spouses apply for benefits based on court orders annually. We estimate it takes approximately 30 minutes to collect the information. The annual burden is 9,500 hours.

For copies of this proposal, contact Mary Beth SmithToomey on (202) 6068358, FAX (202) 4183251 or via email to MaryBeth.Smith Toomey@opm.gov. Please include a mailing address with your request.
