of public comment.

2025. This process is conducted in accordance with 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As required by the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2), OPM is soliciting comments for this
collection. The Federal Register notice that solicited public comment
on the information collection for a period of 60 days was published on
April 25, 2025, at 90 FR 17471. The 60-day comment period closed June
24, 2025. Two (2) comments were received. One commenter commented on
OPM changing information to align with E.O. 14168. The commenter
responded to OPM's plans to change information relating to gender by
raising concerns of discrimination, impacts on mental health and health
equity, labor rights and equal access, accessibility of digital access
for low-income and rural communities, enforcement transparency, and the
impact of federal workers' dignity. OPM thanks the commenter for their
submission. As a federal agency, OPM must comply with Section 3(e) of
E.O. 14168 requiring forms to list an individual's sex as male or
female and not request gender identity.
The other commenter recommended a National Health Care System and
prohibition of private insurance of any kind. OPM thanks the commenter
for the input and has determined this comment is outside the scope of
this Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) activity.
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 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.
