This request is
approved for a limited period of time. In any future resubmission
of this information collection for OMB approval, OPM must indicate
compliance with the requirements at 5 CFR 1320.21 requiring
agencies to disclose estimated burden on the information collection
instrument. OPM has not remedied this deficiency in its request to
OMB even though the need to do this on all requests for OMB
approval has been discussed with the OPM clearance officer on
several occasions over the past several weeks.
