This limited
approval is given in light of OPM's commitment to restructure the
current FEHBP. It is anticipated that any changed FEHBP will
require substantially changed forms requiring OMB approval under
the Paperwork Reduction Act. OPM may modify dates in form
instruction to make appropriate references to each open season
year.
