Title and purpose of information collection: Employer’s Deemed Service Month Questionnaire; OMB 3220–0156. Section 3 (i) of the Railroad Retirement Act (RRA), as amended by Public Law 98–76, provides that the Railroad Retirement Board (RRB), under certain circumstances, may deem additional months of service in cases where an employee does not actually work in every month of the year, provided the employee satisfies certain eligibility requirements, including the existence of an employment relation between the employee and his or her employer. The procedures pertaining to the deeming of additional months of service are found in the RRB’s regulations at 20 CFR Part 210, Creditable Railroad Service. The RRB utilizes Form GL–99, Employers Deemed Service Months Questionnaire, to obtain service and compensation information from railroad employers needed to determine if an employee can be credited with additional deemed months of railroad service. The RRB proposes non-burden impacting, editorial and formatting changes to Form GL–99. Completion is mandatory. One response is required for each RRB inquiry. The completion time for Form GL–99 is estimated at 2 minutes per response. The RRB estimates that approximately 4,000 responses are received annually. 3.
