Jkt 205001
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

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: Statement of Authority to Act
for Employee; OMB 3220–0034.
Under Section 5(a) of the Railroad
Unemployment Insurance Act (RUIA),
claims for benefits are to be made in
accordance with such regulations as the
Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) shall
prescribe. The provisions for claiming
sickness benefits as provided by Section
2 of the RUIA are prescribed in 20 CFR
335.2. Included in these provisions is
the RRB’s acceptance of forms executed
by someone else on behalf of an
employee if the RRB is satisfied that the
employee is sick or injured to the extent
of being unable to sign forms.
The RRB utilizes Form SI–10,
Statement of Authority to Act for
Employee, to provide the means for an
individual to apply for authority to act
on behalf of an incapacitated employee
and also to obtain the information
necessary to determine that the
delegation should be made. Part I of the
form is completed by the applicant for
the authority and Part II is completed by
the employee’s doctor. One response is
requested of each respondent.
Completion is required to obtain
benefits.
The RRB proposes no changes to
Form SI–10.
The estimated annual respondent
burden is as follows:
Form: SI–10.
Estimate of Annual Responses: 400.
Estimated Completion Time: 6
minutes.
Total Burden Hours: 40.

AGENCY: Office of Management and Budget Executive Office of the
President.
ACTION: Notice of Federal Advisory Committee meeting.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Pursuant to the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee
Act (Pub. L. 92-463, as amended), notice is hereby given that the
Acquisition Advisory Panel established in accordance with the Services
Acquisition Reform Act of 2003 will meet on February 28, 2005 at 9
a.m., eastern time. Location for the meeting will be the Rachel Carson

security and limited seating require you to provide your name to the
Designated Federal Officer (DFO) (contact information listed below) by

enter the building. The public entrance to the building is the C Street
entrance. However, the E Street entrance is reserved for individuals
with disabilities requiring an accessible entrance to the building.
Please let the DFO know in advance if you will require the accessible
entrance. The panel's statutory charter is to review Federal
contracting laws, regulations, and government-wide policies, including
the use of commercial practices, performance-based contracting,
performance of acquisition functions across agency lines of
responsibility, and government-wide contracts. Since this meeting will
be the first time the panel members discuss substantive procurement-
related issues, it is anticipated that a broad range of topics falling
under their statutory charter will be discussed. Subgroups or working
groups, as referenced in the Panel's Bylaws and operating procedures,
may be established to research specific procurement-related areas in
order to eventually make a recommendation to the panel. A draft agenda
will be available from the DFO, upon request, in advance of the
meeting.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The purpose of the panel is to provide
independent advice and recommendations to the Office of Federal
Procurement Policy and Congress pursuant to Section 1423 of the
Services Acquisition Reform Act of 2003. This will be the first
substantive meeting of the Panel. No public testimony will be heard at
this meeting. However, interested parties are invited to attend the
meeting. The public may also submit written public comments of any
length to the DFO. Although the Panel accepts written comments until
the date of the meeting (unless otherwise stated), written comments
should be received by the DFO at least five business days prior to the
meeting date so that the comments may be made available to the panel
for their
[[Page 7313]]

possible, to the DFO at the e-mail address (or for hardcopies, mailing
address) noted below. Acceptable electronic formats include Adobe
