RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD
Proposed Collection; Comment
Request
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.
SUMMARY:
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.
1. Title and purpose of information
collection: Application for
Reimbursement for Hospital Insurance
Services in Canada; OMB 3220–0086.
Under section 7(d) of the Railroad
Retirement Act (RRA), the RRB
administers the Medicare program for
persons covered by the railroad
retirement system. Payments are
provided under section 7(d)(4) of the
RRA for medical services furnished in
Canada to the same extent as for those
furnished in the United States.
However, payments for the services
furnished in Canada are made from the
Railroad Retirement Account rather
than from the Federal Hospital
Insurance Trust Fund, with the
payments limited to the amount by
which insurance benefits under
Medicare exceed the amount payable
under Canadian Provincial plans.
Form AA–104, Application for
Canadian Hospital Benefits Under
Medicare—Part A, is provided by the
RRB to a claimant seeking
reimbursement for covered hospital
services received in Canada. The form
obtains information needed to
determine the eligibility of the applicant
and the amount of any reimbursement
due. One response is requested of each
respondent. Completion is required to
obtain a benefit.
The RRB Proposes Non-Burden
Impacting Formatting and Editorial
Changes to Form AA–104
Estimate of Annual Respondent Burden

burden is as follows:

Section 215(a)(7) of the Social
Security Act provides for a reduction in
social security benefits based on
E:\FR\FM\20MYN1.SGM
20MYN1
29283
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 98 / Friday, May 20, 2011 / Notices
employment not covered under the
Social Security Act or the Railroad
Retirement Act (RRA). This provision
applies a different social security benefit
formula to most workers who are first
eligible after 1985 to both a pension
based in whole or in part on noncovered employment and a social
security retirement or disability benefit.
There is a guarantee provision that
limits the reduction in the social
security benefit to one-half of the
portion of the pension based on noncovered employment after 1956. Section
8011 of Public Law 100–647 changed
the effective date of the onset from the
first month of eligibility to the first
month of concurrent entitlement to the
non-covered service benefit and the
RRA benefit.
Section 3(a)(1) of the RRA provides
that the Tier I benefit of an employee
annuity shall be equal to the amount
(before any reduction for age or
deduction for work) the employee
would receive if entitled to a like benefit
under the Social Security Act. The
reduction for a non-covered service
pension also applies to a Tier I portion
of the employee annuity under the RRA
when the annuity or non-covered
service pension begins after 1985. Since
the amount of a spouse’s Tier I benefit
is one-half of the employee’s Tier I, the
spouse annuity is also affected.
Form G–209, Employee Non-Covered
Service Pension Questionnaire, is used
by the RRB to obtain needed
information (1) from a railroad
employee who while completing Form
AA–1, Application for Employee
Annuity (OMB No. 3220–0002),
indicates entitlement to or receipt of a
pension based on employment not
covered under Railroad Retirement or
Social Security; (2) from a railroad
employee when an independentlyentitled divorced spouse applicant
believes the employee to be entitled to
a non-covered service pension.
However, should RRB records indicate
the employee has 30 or more years of
coverage, this development is
unnecessary; or (3) from an employee
annuitant who becomes entitled to a
pension based on employment not
covered under Railroad Retirement or
Social Security. One response is
requested of each respondent.
Completion is required to obtain or
retain benefits.

3. Title and purpose of information
collection: Availability for Work; OMB
3220–0164.
Under Section 1(k) of the Railroad
Unemployment Insurance Act,
unemployment benefits are not payable
for any day for which the claimant is
not available for work.
Under Railroad Retirement Board
(RRB) regulation 20 CFR 327.5,
‘‘available for work’’ is defined as being
willing and ready for work. A claimant
is ‘‘willing’’ to work if willing to accept
and perform for hire such work as is
reasonably appropriate to his or her
employment circumstances. A claimant
is ‘‘ready’’ for work if he or she (1) is in
a position to receive notice of work and
is willing to accept and perform such
work, and (2) is prepared to be present
with the customary equipment at the
location of such work within the time
usually allotted.
Under RRB regulation 20 CFR 327.15,
a claimant may be requested at any time
to show, as evidence of willingness to
work, that reasonable efforts are being
made to obtain work. In order to
determine whether a claimant is: (a)
Available for work, and (b) willing to
work, the RRB utilizes Forms UI–38 and
UI–38s to obtain information from the
claimant and Form ID–8k from the
union representative. One response is
completed by each respondent. The RRB
proposes to eliminate question two
regarding ‘‘pay for time lost’’ from Form
ID–8k. This question was previously
included to remind covered employers
of their reporting obligations under
section 2(f) of the RUIA. The question
is being removed as it was determined
that other forms, such as the ID–4e and
ID–4k, provide sufficient notice of
covered employer’s reporting
obligations under section 2(f). The RRB
proposes no changes to Forms UI–38
and UI–38s.

RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD
Proposed Collection; Comment Request
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.
1. Title and purpose of information collection: Application for
Reimbursement for Hospital Insurance Services in Canada; OMB 3220-0086.
Under section 7(d) of the Railroad Retirement Act (RRA), the RRB
administers the Medicare program for persons covered by the railroad
retirement system. Payments are provided under section 7(d)(4) of the
RRA for medical services furnished in Canada to the same extent as for
those furnished in the United States. However, payments for the
services furnished in Canada are made from the Railroad Retirement
Account rather than from the Federal Hospital Insurance Trust Fund,
with the payments limited to the amount by which insurance benefits
under Medicare exceed the amount payable under Canadian Provincial
plans.
Form AA-104, Application for Canadian Hospital Benefits Under
Medicare--Part A, is provided by the RRB to a claimant seeking
reimbursement for covered hospital services received in Canada. The
form obtains information needed to determine the eligibility of the
applicant and the amount of any reimbursement due. One response is
requested of each respondent. Completion is required to obtain a
benefit.

2. Title and purpose of information collection: Employee Non-
Covered Service Pension Questionnaire; OMB 3220-0154.
Section 215(a)(7) of the Social Security Act provides for a
reduction in social security benefits based on
[[Page 29283]]
employment not covered under the Social Security Act or the Railroad
Retirement Act (RRA). This provision applies a different social
security benefit formula to most workers who are first eligible after
1985 to both a pension based in whole or in part on non-covered
employment and a social security retirement or disability benefit.
There is a guarantee provision that limits the reduction in the social
security benefit to one-half of the portion of the pension based on
non-covered employment after 1956. Section 8011 of Public Law 100-647
changed the effective date of the onset from the first month of
eligibility to the first month of concurrent entitlement to the non-
covered service benefit and the RRA benefit.
Section 3(a)(1) of the RRA provides that the Tier I benefit of an
employee annuity shall be equal to the amount (before any reduction for
age or deduction for work) the employee would receive if entitled to a
like benefit under the Social Security Act. The reduction for a non-
covered service pension also applies to a Tier I portion of the
employee annuity under the RRA when the annuity or non-covered service
pension begins after 1985. Since the amount of a spouse's Tier I
benefit is one-half of the employee's Tier I, the spouse annuity is
also affected.
Form G-209, Employee Non-Covered Service Pension Questionnaire, is
used by the RRB to obtain needed information (1) from a railroad
employee who while completing Form AA-1, Application for Employee
Annuity (OMB No. 3220-0002), indicates entitlement to or receipt of a
pension based on employment not covered under Railroad Retirement or
Social Security; (2) from a railroad employee when an independently-
entitled divorced spouse applicant believes the employee to be entitled

the employee has 30 or more years of coverage, this development is
unnecessary; or (3) from an employee annuitant who becomes entitled to

Completion is required to obtain or retain benefits.

Work; OMB 3220-0164.
Under Section 1(k) of the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act,
unemployment benefits are not payable for any day for which the
claimant is not available for work.
Under Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) regulation 20 CFR 327.5,
``available for work'' is defined as being willing and ready for work.
A claimant is ``willing'' to work if willing to accept and perform for
hire such work as is reasonably appropriate to his or her employment
