Public Comment and

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 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.
Title and Purpose of information
collection: Certification of Termination
of Service and Relinquishment of
Rights: OMB 3220–0016. Under Section
2(e)(2) of the Railroad Retirement Act
(RRA), an age and service annuity,
spouse annuity, or divorced spouse
annuity cannot be paid unless the
Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) has
evidence that the applicant has ceased
railroad employment and relinquished
rights to return to the service of a
railroad employer. The procedure
pertaining to the relinquishment of

of Service and Relinquishment of
Rights, to obtain an applicant’s report of
termination of employment and
relinquishment of rights. One response

clarification changes to Form G–88.
