wwhite on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
Proposed Data Collection Available for
Public Comment and
Recommendations
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.
Title and purpose of information
collection: Gross Earnings Report; OMB
3220–0132.
In order to carry out the financial
interchange provisions of section 7(c)(2)
of the Railroad Retirement Act (RRA),
the RRB obtains annually from railroad
employer’s the gross earnings for their
employees on a one-percent basis, i.e.,
1% of each employer’s railroad
employees. The gross earnings sample is
based on the earnings of employees
whose social security numbers end with
the digits ‘‘30.’’ The gross earnings are
used to compute payroll taxes under the
financial interchange.
The gross earnings information is
essential in determining the tax
amounts involved in the financial
interchange with the Social Security
Administration and Centers for
Medicare and Medicaid Services.
Besides being necessary for current
financial interchange calculations, the
gross earnings file tabulations are also
an integral part of the data needed to
estimate future tax income and
corresponding financial interchange
amounts. These estimates are made for
internal use and to satisfy requests from
other government agencies and
interested groups. In addition, cash flow
projections of the social security
equivalent benefit account, railroad
retirement account and cost estimates
made for proposed amendments to laws
administered by the RRB are dependent
on input developed from the
information collection.
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 208001
The RRB utilizes Form BA–11 or its
electronic equivalent(s) to obtain gross
earnings information from railroad
employers. One response is requested of
each railroad employer. Completion is
mandatory. No changes are proposed to
Form BA–11.
Estimate of Annual Respondent Burden
Gross earnings reports are required
annually from all employers reporting
railroad service and compensation.
There are approximately 635 railroad
employers who currently report gross
earnings to the RRB. Most large railroad
employers include their railroad
subsidiaries in their gross earnings
reports. This results in the RRB
collecting less than 637 earnings
reports. Also, there are a large number
of railroad employers having work
forces so small that they do not have
employees with social security numbers
ending in ‘‘30.’’ Currently, there are 338
such employers in this category who file
‘‘negative’’ BA–11 responses to the RRB.
Overall, on an annual basis, the RRB
receives 84 reports consisting of
computer prepared tapes or diskettes
and 77 by means of manually prepared
Form BA–11. The RRB estimates an
average preparation time of 5 hours for
each gross earnings report submitted by
computer tape, 30 minutes for each
diskette, 30 minutes for each manually
prepared Form BA–11, and 15 minutes
for each negative response.

collection justification, forms, and/or

Clearance Officer at (312) 751–3363 or

should be addressed to Ronald J.
