SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
1377 requires the USTR to review
annually the operations and
effectiveness of all U.S. trade
agreements regarding
telecommunications products and
services of the United States that are in
force with respect to the United States.
The purpose of the review is to
determine whether any act, policy, or
practice of a country that has entered
into an FTA or other
telecommunications trade agreement
with the United States is inconsistent
with the terms of such agreement or
otherwise denies U.S. firms, within the
context of the terms of such agreements,
mutually advantageous market
opportunities. For the current review,
the USTR seeks comments on:
(1) Whether any WTO member is
acting in a manner that is inconsistent
with its obligations under WTO
agreements affecting market
opportunities for telecommunications
products or services, e.g., the WTO
General Agreement on Trade in Services
(‘‘GATS’’), including the Annex on
Telecommunications and any scheduled
commitments including the Reference
Paper on Pro-Competitive Regulatory
Principles;
(2) Whether Canada or Mexico has
failed to comply with its
telecommunications obligations under
the NAFTA;
(3) Whether El Salvador, the
Dominican Republic, Guatemala,
Honduras or Nicaragua has failed to
comply with its telecommunications
obligations under the CAFTA–DR;
(4) Whether Australia, Bahrain, Chile,
Morocco, Singapore, or any other
country for which an FTA with the
United States will be in force before
January 1, 2008, has failed to comply
with its telecommunications obligations
under the respective FTA between the
United States and that country (see
https://www.ustr.gov/Trade_Agreements/
Section_Index.html for U.S. FTAs);
(5) Whether any country has failed to
comply with its obligations under

telecommunications trade agreements
with the United States other than FTAs,
e.g., Mutual Recognition Agreements
(MRAs) for Conformity Assessment of
Telecommunications Equipment (see
https://www.tcc.mac.doc.gov for a
collection of trade agreements related
inter alia to telecommunications);
(6) Whether any country has
permitted or encouraged extensive
reliance on or abuse of its judicial
system to systematically or
unreasonably delay or prevent
regulatory action to ensure its
compliance with obligations under
telecommunications trade agreements
(7) Whether any act, policy, or
practice of a country cited in a previous
section 1377 review remains unresolved
(see https://www.ustr.gov/Trade_Sectors/
Telecom-E-commerce/Section_1377/
Section_Index.html for the 2007
review); and
(8) Whether any measures or practices
impede access to telecommunications
markets or otherwise deny
telecommunications products and
services of the United States market
opportunities with respect to any
country that is a WTO member or for
which an FTA or telecommunications
trade agreement has entered into force
between such country and the United
States. Measures or practices of interest
include, for example, prohibitions on
voice over the Internet (VOIP) services;
requirements for access or use of
networks that limit the products or
services U.S. suppliers can offer in
specific markets; and the imposition of
unnecessary or discriminatory technical
regulations or standards in the telecom
product or services sectors.

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
an Information Collection Request (ICR)
to the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs (OIRA), Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
request a revision to a currently
approved collection of information:
3220–0151, Representative Payee
Monitoring consisting of Form(s) G–99a,
Representative Payee Report and G–99c,
Representative Payee Evaluation Report.
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 collection of information to
determine (1) The practical utility of the
collection; (2) the accuracy of the
estimated burden of the collection; (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 RRB or OIRA must contain
the OMB control number of the ICR. For
PO 00000
Frm 00126
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
65111
proper consideration of your comments,
it is best if RRB and OIRA receive them
within 30 days of publication date.
Under Section 12 of the Railroad
Retirement Act (RRA), the RRB may pay
annuity benefits to a representative
payee when an employee, spouse or
survivor annuitant is incompetent or a
minor. The RRB is responsible for
determining if direct payment to an
annuitant or a representative payee
would best serve the annuitant’s best
interest. The accountability
requirements authorizing the RRB to
conduct periodic monitoring of
representative payees, including a
written accounting of benefit payments
received, are prescribed in 20 CFR
266.7.
The RRB utilizes the following forms
to conduct its representative payee
monitoring program. Form G–99a,
Representative Payee Report, is used to
obtain information needed to determine
whether the benefit payments certified
to the representative payee have been
used for the annuitant’s current
maintenance and personal needs and
whether the representative payee
continues to be concerned with the
annuitant’s welfare. RRB Form G–99c,
Representative Payee Evaluation Report,
is used to obtain more detailed
information from a representative payee
who fails to complete and return Form
G–99a, or in situations when the
returned Form G–99a indicates the
possible misuse of funds by the
representative payee. Form G–99c
contains specific questions concerning
the representative payee’s performance
and is used by the RRB to determine
whether or not the representative payee
should continue in that capacity.
Completion of the forms in this
collection is required to retain benefits.
Previous Requests for Comments: The
RRB has already published the initial
60-day notice (72 FR 48696 on August
24, 2007) required by 44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2). That request elicited no
comments.
Information Collection Request (ICR)
Title: Representative Payee
Monitoring.
OMB Control Number: 3220–0151.
Form(s) submitted: G–99a, G–99c.
Type of request: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Affected public: Individuals or
households.
Abstract: Under Section 12(a) of the
Railroad Retirement Act, the RRB is
authorized to select, make payments to,
and conduct transactions with an
annuitant’s relative or some other
person willing to act on behalf of the
annuitant as representative payee. The
