As required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, as amended (44 U.S.C. chapter 35), OPM is soliciting comments for this

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;

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.

At the time of retirement, an employee or Member in good health may elect an insurable interest survivor annuity benefit on
behalf of an eligible beneficiary. OPM Form 1530 is used to collect the information necessary to determine whether the employee
or Member is in good health so that OPM can determine whether the applicant is eligible to elect an insurable interest survivor
annuity benefit.
