Agency Forms Submitted for OMB Review, Request for Comments, 4787-4788 [E9-1649]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 16 / Tuesday, January 27, 2009 / Notices Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) requires plan administrators and plan sponsors to report certain plan and employer events to PBGC. The reporting requirements give PBGC notice of events that indicate plan or employer financial problems. PBGC uses the information provided in determining what, if any, action it needs to take. For example, PBGC might need to institute proceedings to terminate a plan (placing it in trusteeship) under section 4042 of ERISA to ensure the continued payment of benefits to plan participants and their beneficiaries or to prevent unreasonable increases in its losses. The forms and instructions have been revised to remove information that is no longer applicable in light of changes made by the Pension Protection Act of 2006 and to refer to interim guidance issued by PBGC. The collection of information under the regulation has been approved through February 28, 2009, by OMB under control number 1212–0013. PBGC is requesting that OMB extend approval of the collection (with modifications) for another three years. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. PBGC estimates that it will receive 637 reportable events per year under this collection of information. PBGC further estimates that the average annual burden of this collection of information is 2,676 hours and $936,600. Issued in Washington, DC, this 21st day of January 2009. John H. Hanley, Director, Legislative and Regulatory Department, Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation. [FR Doc.

Title and purpose of information collection: Request to Non-Railroad Employer for Information About Annuitant’s Work and Earnings; OMB 3220–0107. Under Section 2 of the Railroad Retirement Act (RRA), a railroad employee’s retirement annuity or an annuity paid to the spouse of a railroad employee is subject to work deductions in the Tier II component of the annuity and any employee supplemental annuity for any month in which the annuitant works for a Last PreRetirement Non-Railroad Employer (LPE). LPE is defined as the last person, company, or institution, other than a railroad employer, that employed an employee or spouse annuitant. In addition, the employee, spouse or divorced spouse Tier I annuity benefit is subject to work deductions under Section 2(F)(1) of the RRA for earnings from any non-railroad employer that are over the annual exempt amount. The regulations pertaining to non-payment of annuities by reason of work are contained in 20 CFR 230.1 and 230.2. The RRB utilizes Form RL–231–F, Request to Non-Railroad Employer for Information About Annuitant’s Work and Earnings, to obtain the information needed for determining if any work deductions should be applied because an annuitant worked in non-railroad employment after the annuity beginning date. One response is requested of each respondent. Completion is voluntary. Previous Requests for Comments: The RRB has already published the initial 60-day notice (73 FR 68462 and 68463 on November 18, 2008) required by 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2). That request elicited no comments. Information Collection Request (ICR) Title: Request to Non-Railroad Employer for Information About Annuitant’s Work and Earnings. Form(s) submitted: RL–231–F.

Estimated annual number of respondents: 300. Total annual responses: 300. Total annual reporting hours: 150. Abstract: Under the Railroad Retirement Act (RRA), benefits are not payable if an annuitant works for an employer covered under the RRA or last non-railroad employer. The collection obtains information regarding an annuitant’s work and earnings from a non-railroad employer. The information will be used for determining whether benefits should be withheld. Changes Proposed: The RRB proposes no changes to Form RL–231–F. 2. Title and Purpose of Information Collection Supplemental Information on Accident and Insurance; OMB 3220– 0036. Under Section 12(o) of the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act (RUIA), the Railroad Retirement Board is entitled to reimbursement of the sickness benefits paid to a railroad employee if the employee receives a sum or damages for the same infirmity for which the benefits are paid. Section 2(f) of the RUIA requires employers to reimburse the RRB for days in which salary, wages, pay for time lost or other remuneration is later determined to be payable. Reimbursements under section 2(f) generally result from the award of pay for time lost or the payment of guaranteed wages. The RUIA prescribes that the amount of benefits paid be deducted and held by the employer in a special fund for reimbursement to the RRB. The RRB currently utilizes Form(s) SI–1c, (Supplemental Information on Accident and Insurance), SI–5 (Report of Payments to Employee Claiming Sickness Benefits Under the RUIA), ID– 3s (Request for Lien Information), ID– 3s–1, (Lien Information Under Section 12(o) of the RUIA), ID–3U (Request for Section 2(f) Information), ID–30k (Form Letter Asking Claimant for Additional Information on Injury or Illness), and ID–30k–1 (Request for Supplemental Information on Injury or Illness—3rd Party), to obtain the necessary information from claimants and railroad employers. Completion is required to obtain or retain benefits.

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 
U.S.C. Chapter 35), the Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) is forwarding 
two (2) 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 RRB or 
OIRA must contain the OMB control number of the ICR. For proper 
consideration of your comments, it is best if RRB and OIRA receive them 
within 30 days of publication date.
    1. Title and purpose of information collection:
    Request to Non-Railroad Employer for Information About Annuitant's 
Work and Earnings; OMB 3220-0107.
    Under Section 2 of the Railroad Retirement Act (RRA), a railroad 
employee's retirement annuity or an annuity paid to the spouse of a 
railroad employee is subject to work deductions in the Tier II 
component of the annuity and any employee supplemental annuity for any 
month in which the annuitant works for a Last Pre-Retirement Non-
Railroad Employer (LPE). LPE is defined as the last person, company, or 
institution, other than a railroad employer, that employed an employee 
or spouse annuitant. In addition, the employee, spouse or divorced 
spouse Tier I annuity benefit is subject to work deductions under 
Section 2(F)(1) of the RRA for earnings from any non-railroad employer 
that are over the annual exempt amount. The regulations pertaining to 
non-payment of annuities by reason of work are contained in 20 CFR 
230.1 and 230.2.
    The RRB utilizes Form RL-231-F, Request to Non-Railroad Employer 
for Information About Annuitant's Work and Earnings, to obtain the 
information needed for determining if any work deductions should be 
applied because an annuitant worked in non-railroad employment after 
the annuity beginning date. One response is requested of each 
respondent. Completion is voluntary.
    Previous Requests for Comments: The RRB has already published the 
initial 60-day notice (73 FR 68462 and 68463 on November 18, 2008) 
required by 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2). That request elicited no comments.

Information Collection Request (ICR)

    Title: Request to Non-Railroad Employer for Information About 
Annuitant's Work and Earnings.
    Form(s) submitted: RL-231-F.
    OMB Control Number: 3220-0107.
    Expiration date of current OMB clearance: 1/31/2009.
    Type of request: Extension without change of a currently approved 
collection.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit.
    Estimated annual number of respondents: 300.
    Total annual responses: 300.
    Total annual reporting hours: 150.
    Abstract: Under the Railroad Retirement Act (RRA), benefits are not 
payable if an annuitant works for an employer covered under the RRA or 
last non-railroad employer. The collection obtains information 
regarding an annuitant's work and earnings from a non-railroad 
employer. The information will be used for determining whether benefits 
should be withheld.
    Changes Proposed: The RRB proposes no changes to Form RL-231-F.
    2. Title and Purpose of Information Collection
    Supplemental Information on Accident and Insurance; OMB 3220-0036.
    Under Section 12(o) of the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act 
(RUIA), the Railroad Retirement Board is entitled to reimbursement of 
the sickness benefits paid to a railroad employee if the employee 
receives a sum or damages for the same infirmity for which the benefits 
are paid. Section 2(f) of the RUIA requires employers to reimburse the 
RRB for days in which salary, wages, pay for time lost or other 
remuneration is later determined to be payable. Reimbursements under 
section 2(f) generally result from the award of pay for time lost or 
the payment of guaranteed wages. The RUIA prescribes that the amount of 
benefits paid be deducted and held by the employer in a special fund 
for reimbursement to the RRB.
    The RRB currently utilizes Form(s) SI-1c, (Supplemental Information 
on Accident and Insurance), SI-5 (Report of Payments to Employee 
Claiming Sickness Benefits Under the RUIA), ID-3s (Request for Lien 
Information), ID-3s-1, (Lien Information Under Section 12(o) of the 
RUIA), ID-3U (Request for Section 2(f) Information), ID-30k (Form 
Letter Asking Claimant for Additional Information on Injury or 
Illness), and ID-30k-1 (Request for Supplemental Information on Injury 
or Illness--3rd Party), to obtain the necessary information from 
claimants and railroad employers. Completion is required to obtain or 
retain benefits.
    Previous Requests for Comments: The RRB has already published the 
initial 60-day notice (73 FR 68462 and 68463 on November 18, 2008) 
required by 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2). That request elicited no comments.
