RI 38–128
is primarily used by OPM to give recent
retirees the opportunity to waive Direct
Deposit of their annuity payments. The
form is sent only if the separating
agency did not give the retiring
employee this election opportunity.
This form may also be used to enroll in
Direct Deposit, which was its primary
use before Public Law 104–134 was
passed. This law requires OPM to make
all recurring benefits payments
electronically to beneficiaries who live
where Direct Deposit is available.
Beneficiaries who do not enroll in the
Direct Deposit Program will be enrolled
in Direct Express.

Submission for Review; New
Information Collection: Freedom of
Information/Privacy Act Record
Request Form (INV 100)
U.S. Office of Personnel

ACTION: 30-Day Notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:

SUMMARY: Federal Investigative Services
(FIS), U.S. Office of Personnel
Management (OPM) offers the general
public and other Federal agencies the
opportunity to comment on a new
information collection request (ICR),
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) Control No. 3206–NEW, for the
Freedom of Information/Privacy Act
Record Request Form (INV 100). As
required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995, (Pub. L. 104–13, 44 U.S.C.
chapter 35) as amended by the ClingerCohen Act (Pub. L. 104–106), OPM is
soliciting comments for this collection.
The Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) is particularly interested in
comments that:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of OPM, including whether
the information will have practical
utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of OPM’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.
DATES: Comments are encouraged and
will be accepted until April 29, 2013.
This process is conducted in accordance
with 5 CFR 1320.1.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OPM’s
Federal Investigative Services (FIS),
Freedom of Information and Privacy Act
(FOI/PA) office proposes use of this
optional form (INV 100) to standardize
collection of data elements specific to
FOIA and Privacy Act record requests
submitted to FIS. Current FOIA and
Privacy Act record requests are
submitted to FIS–FOI/PA in a format
chosen by the requester, yet consistent
with the published regulations at 5 CFR
294 and 5 CFR 297, respectively. Often
the requests are missing data elements
that require contact with the requester
by mail, thereby adding time to the
process. Standardization of the access
process will increase the volume of
perfected requests received. This will
strike an appropriate balance between
the public’s burden in submitting
requests and FIS–FOI/PA’s ability to
accurately identify sought records and
to verify the identity of the Privacy Act
requester, ensuring that protected
records are not inappropriately released
to third parties. It is estimated that
16,626 individuals will respond
annually. The INV 100 takes
approximately 5 minutes to complete.
The estimated annual burden is 1,386
hours.
The 60-day Federal Register Notice
was published in the Federal Register
on August 31, 2012, (Federal Register
Notices/Vol. 77, Number 170, pages
53237–53238) as required by 5 CFR
1320, affording the public an
opportunity to comment on the form.
Four comments were received from the
National Archives and Records
Administration’s (NARA) Office of
Government Information Services
(OGIS), recommending verbiage clarity
in Section 5–7. OGIS recommended that
in Section 5, which is optional, OPM
should provide an example of an

E:\FR\FM\28MRN1.SGM

28MRN1

19026

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 60 / Thursday, March 28, 2013 / Notices

instance where the requester would
want to complete this section. OPM
added the OGIS suggested verbiage ‘‘By
completing this section, you authorize
information relating to you to be
released to another person, such as a
family member or legal counsel.’’ OGIS
recommended that in Section 6,
Verification of Requester’s Identity,
OPM should change the verbiage, for
clarity, from ‘‘the person named above’’
to ‘‘the person named in Section 2.’’
OPM accepted the comment and
changed the verbiage. OGIS
recommended that in Section 7, because
a requester is generally not required to
state the purpose of his or her request,
OPM replace the introductory sentence
to state, ‘‘In the box below, you may
wish to provide information about
yourself and the purpose of your request
to help us determine your fee category.
While FOIA does not require a requester
to state the purpose of a request, fees
may be reduced based on the nature of
the requester or purpose of the request.’’
OPM accepted the comment and
changed the verbiage. OGIS further
recommended a rewrite in Section 7 to
state, ‘‘I request a waiver or reduction of
fees because I am (check one of the three
options listed below):’’ so requesters
may check all of the options that apply.
This will provide clarity because fee
waivers are different from fee categories,
and the two are not mutually exclusive.
OPM accepted the comment and
changed the verbiage to state, ‘‘I request
a waiver or reduction of fees because I
am (check all options listed below that
apply):’’.
