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 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
the collection of information on
respondents, including the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
Title and purpose of information
collection: Application for Spouse
Annuity Under the Railroad Retirement
Act; OMB 3220–0042 Section 2(c) of the
Railroad Retirement Act (RRA),
provides for the payment of annuities to
spouses of railroad retirement
annuitants who meet the requirements
under the RRA. The age requirements
for a spouse annuity depend on the
employee’s age and date of retirement
and the employee’s years of railroad
service. The requirements relating to the
annuities are prescribed in 20 CFR 216,
218, 219, 232, 234, and 295.
The RRB currently uses the electronic
AA–3cert, Application Summary and
Certification process and manual Form
AA–3, Application for Spouse/Divorced
Spouse Annuity, to obtain the
information needed to determine an
applicant’s entitlement to an annuity
and the amount of the annuity.

of an interview with an RRB field-office
representative. During the interview, the
field-office representative enters the
information obtained into an on-line
information system. Upon completion of
the interview, the applicant receives
Form AA–3cert, Application Summary
and Certification, which summarizes the
information that was provided by/or
verified by the applicant, for review and
signature. The RRB also uses manual
Form AA–3 in instances where the RRB
representative is unable to contact the
applicant in person or by telephone i.e.,
the applicant lives in another country.
Completion of Forms AA–3 and AA–
3cert is required to obtain a benefit. One
response is requested of each
respondent. The RRB proposes minor
non-burden impacting editorial changes
to Form(s) AA–3cert and AA–3. The
RRB estimates the burden for the
collection as follows:
