SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Federal Employees' Retirement System (FERS) annuitants who are not retired on disability and are not yet age 62 may be eligible for a supplement to the FERS annuity. The supplement approximates the portion of full career Social Security benefits earned while under FERS and ends at age 62. Like Social Security benefits, the annuity supplement is subject to an earnings limitation. Accordingly, RI 92–22 is used to obtain the annual earned income of certain FERS annuitants to determine each annuitant's eligibility to continue receiving an annuity supplement.

As required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–13) as amended (44 U.S.C. chapter 35), OPM is soliciting comments for this collection (OMB No. 3206–0194). OPM is particularly interested in comments that:

1. Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of 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.
