SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As required by the Paperwork Reduction Act 
of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-13, 44 U.S.C. chapter 35) as amended by the 
Clinger-Cohen Act (Pub. L. 104-106), OPM is soliciting comments for 
this collection (OMB No. 3206-0235). 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.
    RI 20-64, Letter Reply to Request for Information, is used by OPM 
to explain the annuity reductions required to pay for the cost of a 
former spouse survivor annuity benefit under the Civil Service 
Retirement System (CSRS), and to provide annuitants with information 
about what the beginning rate of the survivor annuity would be if the 
annuitant ultimately elects a former spouse survivor annuity benefit. 
RI 20-64A, Former Spouse Survivor Annuity Election, is used by OPM to 
obtain an annuitant's former spouse survivor annuity election. RI 20-
64B, Information on Electing a Survivor Annuity for Your Former Spouse, 
is a pamphlet that provides important information to retirees who want 
to provide a CSRS survivor annuity for a former spouse.
