The Office of Personnel Management is particularly interested in comments that: 1.

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.

Background The Federal Employees Dental and Vision Insurance Program Enrollment System uses BENEFEDS, which is the secure enrollment website sponsored by OPM that allows eligible individuals to enroll or change enrollment in a FEDVIP plan. Eligible individuals use the system to enroll or change enrollment during the annual Federal Benefits Open Season or when experiencing a qualifying life event during the plan year under 5 CFR 894.101. FEDVIP is available to eligible Federal civilian and U.S. Postal Service

(USPS)employees, retirees (annuitants), survivor annuitants, compensationers, and their eligible family members (dependents); and certain TRICARE-eligible individuals

(TEIs)who are authorized under section 715 of Public Law 114-328, on an enrollee-pay-all basis. There is no government contribution toward premiums. OPM uses this enrollment system to carry out its responsibility to administer FEDVIP in accordance with 5 U.S.C. chapters 89A and 89B and implementing regulations (5 CFR part 894). Additionally, to align with Executive Order 14168, *Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government,* OPM plans to change information relating to gender in this information collection where appropriate.
