Management and Budget (OMB) a request to reinstate a previous approved 
information collection. 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 who believe

deceased Federal employee's unpaid compensation to the appropriate 
individual(s).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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.
    MSAC adjudicates classification appeals, job-grading appeals, FLSA 
claims, compensation and leave claims, and declination of reasonable 
offer appeals, as well as the settling of disputed claims for unpaid 
compensation due deceased Federal employees. This adjudicative function 
provides Federal employees administrative due process rights to 
challenge compensation and related agency decisions without having to 
seek redress in Federal courts. These decisions are also a critical 
resource for agency HR offices in making their own classification, pay, 
and FLSA determinations.
