RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD
Agency Forms Submitted for OMB
Review, Request for Comments
Summary: In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. Chapter 35), the Railroad
Retirement Board (RRB) is forwarding
three Information Collection Requests
(ICR) to the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs (OIRA), Office of
Management and Budget (OMB). Our
ICR describes the information we seek
to collect from the public. Review and
approval by OIRA ensures that we
impose appropriate paperwork burdens.
The RRB invites comments on the
proposed collections of information to
determine (1) the practical utility of the
collections; (2) the accuracy of the
estimated burden of the collections; (3)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information that is the
subject of collection; and (4) ways to
minimize the burden of collections on
respondents, including the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
Comments to the RRB or OIRA must
contain the OMB control number of the
ICR. For proper consideration of your
comments, it is best if the RRB and
OIRA receive them within 30 days of
the publication date.
Title and purpose of information
collection: Supplement to Claim of
Person Outside the United States; OMB
3220–0155.
Under the Social Security
Amendments of 1983 (Pub. L. 98–21),
which amends Section 202(t) of the
Social Security Act, effective January 1,
1985, the Tier I or the overall minimum
(O/M) portion of an annuity, and
Medicare benefits payable under the
Railroad Retirement Act to certain
beneficiaries living outside the U.S.,
may be withheld. The benefit
withholding provision of Public Law
98–21 applies to divorced spouses,
spouses, minor or disabled children,
students, and survivors of railroad
employees who (1) initially became
eligible for Tier I amounts, O/M shares,
and Medicare benefits after December
31, 1984; (2) are not U.S. citizens or U.S.
nationals; and (3) have resided outside
the U.S. for more than six consecutive
months starting with the annuity
beginning date. The benefit withholding
provision does not apply, however to a
beneficiary who is exempt under either
a treaty obligation of the U.S., in effect
on August 1, 1956, or a totalization
agreement between the U.S. and the
country in which the beneficiary
resides, or to an individual who is
exempt under other criteria specified in
Public Law 98–21.
RRB Form G–45, Supplement to
Claim of Person Outside the United
States, is currently used by the RRB to
determine applicability of the
withholding provision of Public Law
98–21. Completion of the form is
required to obtain or retain a benefit.
One response is requested of each
respondent.
Previous Requests for Comments: The
RRB has already published the initial
60-day notice (81 FR 69873 on October
7, 2016) required by 44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2). That request elicited no
comments.
Information Collection Request (ICR).
Title: Supplement to Claim of Person
Outside the United States.
OMB Control Number: 3220–0155.
Form(s) submitted: G–45.
Type of request: Extension without
change of a currently approved
collection.
Affected public: Individuals or
Households.
Abstract: Under Public Law 98–21,
the Tier I or the overall minimum
portion of an annuity and Medicare
benefits payable under the Railroad
Retirement Act to certain beneficiaries
living outside the United States may be
withheld. The collection obtains the
information needed by the Railroad
Retirement Board to implement the
benefit withholding provisions of Public
Law 98–21.
Changes proposed: The RRB proposes
no changes to Form G–45.
The burden estimate for the ICR is as

Notice is hereby given that the

Summary: In accordance with the
requirement of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
which provides opportunity for public
comment on new or revised data
collections, the Railroad Retirement
Board (RRB) will publish periodic
summaries of proposed data collections.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed information collection is
necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the agency, including
whether the information has practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of the RRB’s
estimate of the burden of the collection
of the information; (c) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (d)
ways to minimize the burden related to
the collection of information on
respondents, including the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
1. Title and purpose of information
collection: Placement Service; OMB
3220–0057.
Section 12(i) of the Railroad
Unemployment Insurance Act (RUIA),
authorizes the RRB to establish,
maintain, and operate free employment
offices to provide claimants for
unemployment benefits with job
placement opportunities. Section 704(d)
of the Regional Railroad Reorganization
Act of 1973, as amended, and as
extended by the Consolidated Omnibus
Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985,
required the RRB to maintain and
distribute a list of railroad job vacancies,
by class and craft, based on information
furnished by rail carriers to the RRB.
Although the requirement under the law
expired effective August 13, 1987, the
RRB has continued to obtain this
information in keeping with its
employment service responsibilities
under Section 12(k) of the RUIA.
Application procedures for the job
placement program are prescribed in 20
CFR 325. The procedures pertaining to
the RRB’s obtaining and distributing job
vacancy reports furnished by rail
carriers are described in 20 CFR 346.1.
The RRB currently utilizes four forms
to obtain information needed to carry
out its job placement responsibilities.
Form ES–2, Central Register
Notification, is used by the RRB to
obtain information needed to update a
computerized central register of
separated and furloughed railroad
employees available for employment in
the railroad industry. Forms ES–21,
Referral to State Employment Service,
and ES–21c, Report of State
Employment Service Office, are used by
the RRB to provide placement assistance
for unemployed railroad employees
through arrangements with State
Employment Service offices. Form UI–
35, Field Office Record of Claimant
Interview, is used primarily by the RRB
to conduct in-person interviews of
claimants for unemployment benefits.
Completion of these forms is required
to obtain or maintain a benefit. In
addition, the RRB also collects Railroad
Job Vacancies information received
voluntarily from railroad employers. No
changes are proposed to any of the data
collection instruments associated with
the information collection.
