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

1. Title and purpose of information
collection: Application for Survivor
Insurance Annuities; OMB 3220–0030.
Under Section 2(d) of the Railroad
Retirement Act (RRA), monthly survivor
annuities are payable to surviving
widow(er)s, parents, unmarried
children, and in certain cases, divorced
wives (husbands), mothers (fathers),
remarried widow(er)s, and
grandchildren of deceased railroad
employees. The collection obtains the
information required by the RRB to
determine entitlement to and the
amount of the annuity applied for.
The RRB currently utilizes Form(s)
AA–17, Application for Widow(ers)
Annuity, AA–17b Applications for
Determination of Widow(er) Disability,
AA–17cert, Application Summary and
Certification, AA–18, Application for
Mother’s/Father’s and Child’s Annuity,
AA–19, Application for Child’s
Annuity, AA–19a, Application for
Determination of Child Disability, and
AA–20, Application for Parent’s
Annuity to obtain the necessary
information. The RRB proposes no
changes to the forms in the information
collection. One response is requested of
each respondent. Completion is
required to obtain benefits.

2. 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. Title and purpose of information
collection: Statement of Claimant or
Other Person; OMB 3220–0083.
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 applicants
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
parts 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. Completion is voluntary.
One response is requested of each

Form G–93 is estimated at 15 minutes
