Proposed Collection; Comment Request for Review of a Revised Information Collection: (OMB Control No. 3206-0228; Standard Form 3112)
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 (OMB) a request for review of a revised information collection. This information collection, "CSRS/FERS Documentation in Support of Disability Retirement Application" (OMB Control No. 3206-0228; Standard Form 3112), collects information from applicants for disability retirement so that OPM can determine whether to approve a disability retirement. The applicant will only complete Standard Forms 3112A and 3112C. Standard Forms 3112B, 3112D and 3112E will be completed by the immediate supervisor and the employing agency of the applicant.
Comments are particularly invited on: Whether this collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of functions of the 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 12,100 applicants for disability retirement complete this application annually. The SF 3112C requires approximately 60 minutes to complete. A burden of 12,100 hours is estimated for SF 3112C. SF 3112A is used each year by approximately 1,350 persons who are not Federal employees. SF 3112A requires approximately 30 minutes to complete and a burden of 675 hours is estimated for SF 3112A.
All 12,100 respondents must use SF 3112C; of the 12,100, only 1,350 of the applicants are not Federal Employees and use SF 3112A. The total annual burden for SF 3112 is 12,775 hours.
