information collection. This information
collection, ‘‘Life Insurance Election’’
(OMB Control No. 3206–0230; SF 2817),
is used by Federal employees and
assignees (those who have acquired
control of an employee/annuitant’s
coverage through an assignment or
‘‘transfer’’ of the ownership of the life
insurance). Clearance of this form for
use by active Federal employees is not
required according to the Paperwork
Reduction Act (Pub. L. 98–615). The
Public Burden Statement meets the
requirements of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
Therefore, only the use of this form by
assignees, i.e. members of the public, is
subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act.
Approximately 150 SF 2817 forms are
completed annually by assignees. The
form takes approximately 15 minutes to
complete. The annual estimated burden
is 37.5 hours
