Legal Status This site displays a prototype of a “Web 2.0” version of the daily
Federal Register. It is not an official legal edition of the Federal
Register, and does not replace the official print version or the official
electronic version on GPO’s govinfo.gov.

The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal
Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the
corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov. This prototype edition of the
daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial
informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal
Register (ACFR) issues a regulation granting it official legal status.
For complete information about, and access to, our official publications
and services, go to About the Federal Register on NARA's archives.gov.

The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable
regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of
establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned
publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that
the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with
the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for
legal research should verify their results against an official edition of
the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML
rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not
provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.

OPM is considering consolidation of the information collections and combining the two forms into a single form.

DATES:

Comments are encouraged and will be accepted until May 8, 2026.

ADDRESSES:

The general policy for comments and other submissions from members of the public is to make these submissions available for public viewing on the internet at http://www.regulations.gov as they are received without change, including any personal identifiers or contact information.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

A copy of this ICR with applicable supporting documentation may be obtained by contacting the Retirement Services Publications Team, Office of Personnel Management, 1900 E Street NW, Room 3316-BD, Washington, DC 20415, Attention: Cyrus S. Benson, or via email at RSPublicationsTeam@opm.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

As required by the Paperwork Reduction Act, as amended (44 U.S.C. chapter 35), OPM is soliciting comments for two currently approved collections: Initial Certification of Full-Time School Attendance, RI 25-41 (3206-0099) and Verification of Full-Time School Attendance, RI 25-49 (3206-0215).

A surviving adult child (between 18 and 22 years of age) must be unmarried and a full-time student in a recognized school to receive survivor benefits. RI 25-41, Initial Certification of Full-Time School Attendance is used to make an initial determination of whether a surviving adult child is eligible to receive survivor benefits. RI 25-49 is used to verify that a surviving adult student annuitant remains entitled to payment. OPM must determine this in order to pay survivor annuity benefits to children who are age 18 or older under title 5, U.S.C. 8341(a)(4)(C) and 8441(4)(C).

OPM is considering consolidating the RI 25-41 form and the RI 25-49 form, by revising the RI 25-41 form so that it can be used for initial certifications and annual verifications. OPM welcomes comments on combining the forms and the information collections, whether consolidation would reduce the burden on respondents, and if so, what the burden estimate should be.

The Office of Personnel Management is particularly interested in comments that:

1. Evaluate whether each of the collections 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 each 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 collections 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.
