RG 6.3 provides guidance on the safe design, construction, and use of radioisotopic power generators. The NRC is withdrawing this regulatory guide because it is no longer required.

Therefore, no licensing actions for these devices are being submitted or reviewed by license reviewers and the guidance is no longer needed. II. Further Information The withdrawal of RG 6.3 does not alter any prior or existing licensing commitments based on its use. The guidance provided in this regulatory guide is no longer necessary. Regulatory guides may be withdrawn when their guidance is superseded by congressional action or no longer provides useful information.

practical utility of the collections; (2) the accuracy of the estimated 
burden of the collections; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility and

0014

    Under Section 1(b)(1) of the Railroad Retirement Act (RRA), the 
term ``employee'' includes an individual who is an employee 
representative. As defined in Section 1(c) of the RRA, an employee 
representative is an officer or official representative of a railway 
labor organization other than a labor organization included in the term 
``employer,'' as defined in the RRA, who before or after August 29, 
1935, was in the service of an employer under the RRA and who is duly 
authorized and designated to represent employees in accordance with the 
Railway Labor Act, or, any individual who is regularly assigned to or 
regularly employed by such officer or official representative in 
connection with the duties of his or her office. The requirements 
relating to the application for employee representative status and the 
periodic reporting of the compensation resulting from such status is 
contained in 20 CFR 209.10.
    The RRB utilizes Forms DC-2a, Employee Representative's Status 
Report, and DC-2, Employee Representative's Report of Compensation, to 
obtain the information needed to determine employee representative 
status and to maintain a record of creditable service and compensation 
resulting from such status. Completion is required to obtain or retain 
a benefit. One response is requested of each respondent.
    No changes are proposed to Form DC-2a and Form DC-2. The completion 
time for Form DC-2 is estimated at 30 minutes per response. The RRB 
estimates that approximately 65 Form DC-2's are completed annually. The 
RRB estimates that less than 10 Form DC-2a's are completed annually.

initial 60-day notice (74 FR 17895 on April 17, 2009) required by 44

under certain circumstances, may deem additional months of service in 
cases where an employee does not actually work in every month of the

additional months of service are found in the RRB's regulations at 20 
CFR 210, Creditable Railroad Service.
    The RRB utilizes Form GL-99, Employer's Deemed Service Months
