RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD
Proposed Data Collection(s) 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 collections are
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 for 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.
1. Title and Purpose of Information
Collection
Application for Survivor Death Benefits;
OMB 3220–0031
Under Section 6 of the Railroad
Retirement Act (RRA), lump-sum death
benefits are payable to surviving widow
and widowers, children and certain
other dependents. Lump-sum death
benefits are payable after the death of a
railroad employee only if there are no
qualified survivors of the employee
immediately eligible for annuities. With
the exception of the residual death
benefit, eligibility for survivor benefits
depends on whether the employee was
‘‘insured’’ under the RRA at the time of
death. If a deceased employee was not
so insured, jurisdiction of any survivor
benefits payable is transferred to the
Social Security Administration and
survivor benefits are paid by that agency
instead of the RRB. The collection
obtains the information required by the
RRB to determine entitlement to and
amount of the survivor death benefits
applied for.
The RRB currently utilizes Form(s)
AA–11a (Designation for Change of
Beneficiary for Residual Lump-Sum),
AA–21cert, (Application Summary and
Certification), AA–21 (Application for
Lump-Sum Death Payment and
Annuities Unpaid at Death), G–131
(Authorization of Payment and Release
of All Claims to a Death Benefit or
Accrued Annuity Payment), and G–273a
(Funeral Director’s Statement of Burial
Charges), to obtain the necessary
information. One response is requested
of each respondent. Completion is
required to obtain benefits.
The RRB proposes no changes to any
of the forms in the information
collection.

2. Title and Purpose of Information
Collection
Request for Medicare Payment; OMB
3220–0131
Under Section 7(d) of the Railroad
Retirement Act, the RRB administers the
Medicare program for persons covered
by the railroad retirement system. The
collection obtains the information
needed by Palmetto GBA, the Medicare
carrier for railroad retirement
beneficiaries, to pay claims for
payments under Part B of the Medicare
program. Authority for collecting the
information is prescribed in 42 CFR
424.32.
The RRB currently utilizes Forms G–
740S, Patient’s Request for Medicare
Payment, (along with Centers for
Medicare and Medicaid Services Form
CMS–1500) to secure the information
necessary to pay Part B Medicare
Claims. The RRB proposes minor nonburden impacting editorial changes to
RRB Form G–740S. The completion
time for Form G–740S is estimated at 15
minutes. The RRB estimates that
approximately 100 Form G–740S’s are
received annually. Completion is
required to obtain a benefit. One
response is completed for each claim.
3. Title and Purpose of Information
Collection
cprice-sewell on PRODPC61 with NOTICES
Statement of Claimant or Other Person;
OMB 3220–0183
To support an application for an
annuity under Section 2 of the Railroad
Retirement Act (RRA) or for
unemployment benefits under Section 2
of the Railroad Unemployment
Insurance Act (RUIA), pertinent
information and proofs must be
furnished for the RRB to determine
benefit entitlement. Circumstances may
require an applicant or other person(s)
having knowledge of facts relevant to
the applicant’s eligibility for an annuity
or benefits to provide written statements
supplementing or changing statements
previously provided by the applicant.
Under the railroad retirement program
these statements may relate to changes
in annuity beginning date(s), dates for
marriage(s), birth(s), prior railroad or
non-railroad employment, an
applicant’s request for reconsideration
of an unfavorable RRB eligibility

determination for an annuity or various
other matters. The statements may also
be used by the RRB to secure a variety
of information needed to determine
eligibility to unemployment and
sickness benefits. Procedures related to
providing information needed for RRA
annuity or RUIA benefit eligibility
determinations are prescribed in 20 CFR
217 and 320 respectively. The RRB
utilizes Form G–93, Statement of
Claimant or Other Person to obtain the
supplemental or corrective information
from applicants or other persons needed
to determine applicant eligibility for an
RRA annuity or RUIA benefits.
The RRB proposes no changes to
Form G–93. The completion time for
Form G–93 is estimated at 15 minutes
per response. The RRB estimates that
approximately 900 Form G–93’s are
received annually. Completion is
voluntary. One response is requested of
each respondent.

Notice is hereby given that pursuant
to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities
and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) is soliciting comments
on the collection of information
summarized below. The Commission
plans to submit this existing collection
of information to the Office of
Management and Budget for extension
and approval.
• Rule 15c2–8 (17 CFR 240.15c2–8)—
Delivery of Prospectus
Rule 15c2–8 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (‘‘Exchange Act’’)
requires broker-dealers to deliver
preliminary and/or final prospectuses to
certain people under certain
circumstances. In connection with
securities offerings generally, including
initial public offerings (IPOs), the rule
requires broker-dealers to take
reasonable steps to distribute copies of
the preliminary or final prospectus to
anyone who makes a written request, as
well as any broker-dealer who is
expected to solicit purchases of the
security and who makes a request. In
connection with IPOs, the rule requires
a broker-dealer to send a copy of the
preliminary prospectus to any person
who is expected to receive a
confirmation of sale (generally, this
means any person who is expected
actually to purchase the security in the
offering) at least 48 hours prior to the
sending of such confirmation. This
requirement is sometimes referred to as
the ‘‘48 hour rule.’’
Additionally, managing underwriters
are required to take reasonable steps to
ensure that all broker-dealers
participating in the distribution of or
trading in the security have sufficient
copies of the preliminary or final
prospectus, as requested by them, to
enable such broker-dealer to satisfy their
respective prospectus delivery
obligations pursuant to Rule 15c2–8, as
well as Section 5 of the Securities Act
of 1933.
Rule 15c2–8 implicitly requires that
broker-dealers collect information, as
such collection facilitates compliance
with the rule. There is no requirement
to submit information collected to the
Commission. In order to comply with
