the Federal Register on April 14, 2021,
at 86 FR 19652, allowing for a 60-day

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.
RI 20–120 is designed to collect
information the Office of Personnel
Management needs to comply with the
wishes of the retired Federal employee
whose marriage has ended. This form
provides an organized way for the
retiree to give us everything at one time.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As
required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 OPM is soliciting comments
for this collection. The information
collection (OMB No. 3206–0170) was
previously published in the Federal
Register on December 30, 2020 at 85 FR
86583, allowing for a 60-day public
comment period. One comment was
received. Our response is as follows:
‘‘This is written in response to the
comment on Federal Register

Application for Refund of Retirement
Deductions, Standard Form (SF)–3106
and Current/Former Spouse(s)
Notification of Application for Refund

The Standard Form 3106 is used by
former Federal employees under the
Federal Employees Retirement System
(FERS) to apply for a refund of
retirement deductions withheld during
Federal employment, plus any interest
provided by law. Standard Form 3106A,
Current/Former Spouse(s) Notification
of Application for Refund of Retirement
Deductions under FERS, is used by
refund applicants to notify their
current/former spouse(s) that they are
applying for a refund of retirement
deductions, which is required by law.

finds that the comments received are
not relevant to the use of these forms.

employees in the armed forces, the
reserves, the National Guard and
commissioned corps of the Public
Health Service. The USERRA law allows
for restoration to the position he or she
would have attained had the employee
not entered the uniformed service
provided certain conditions are met.
Since enactment of the law, OPM has
provided guidance to agencies on
processing service credit deposits for
such cases.
It appears that the comments are case
specific to the processing of service
credit deposits. If denied the
opportunity to make the service credit
deposit, the individual would have
received a denial decision and provided
information on his/her right to file a
request for reconsideration.’’

minimize the burden of collections on
respondents, including the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
Comments to the RRB or OIRA must
contain the OMB control number of the
ICR. For proper consideration of your
comments, it is best if the RRB and
