public with an opportunity to comment on proposed, revised, and 
continuing collections of information. This helps the Agency assess the 
impact of its information collection requirements and minimize the 
public's reporting burden. It also helps the public understand the 
Agency's information collection requirements and provide the requested 
data in the desired format. This information collection (OMB Control 
No. 3206-0174) was previously published in the Federal Register on 
March 25, 2024, at 89 FR 20711, allowing for a 60-day public comment 
period. No comments were received for this collection.
    The purpose of this notice is to notify the public that OPM is 
submitting the information collection to the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) for review and to allow an additional 30 days for public 
comments. OPM is soliciting comments on the proposed information 
collection request (ICR) that is described below. OMB is especially 
interested in public comment addressing the following issues: (1) 
whether this collection is necessary to the proper functions of OPM; 
(2) whether this information will be processed and used in a timely 
manner; (3) the accuracy of the burden estimate; (4) ways in which OPM 
may enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be 
collected; and (5) ways in which OPM may minimize the burden of this 
collection on the respondents, including through the use of information 
technology. Written comments received in response to this notice will 
be considered public records.
    RI 20-63 is used by annuitants to elect a reduced annuity with a 
survivor annuity for their spouse. RI 20-116 is a cover letter for RI 
20-63 giving information about the cost to elect less than the maximum 
survivor annuity. This letter is used to supply the information 
requested by the annuitant about the cost of electing less than the 
maximum annuity. RI 20-117 is a cover letter for RI 20-63 giving 
information about the cost to elect the maximum survivor annuity.
