TKELLEY on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 14 / Monday, January 23, 2012 / Notices
within 30 days after all necessary
regulatory approvals have been
received. The contract will remain in
effect until June 30, 2014. Id.
Attachment 1 at 5. It may, however, be
terminated by either party on not less
than 30 days’ written notice. Id.
In support of its Notice, the Postal
Service filed four attachments as
follows:
• Attachment 1—a redacted copy of
the contract and applicable annexes;
• Attachment 2—a certified statement
required by 39 CFR 3015.5(c)(2);
• Attachment 3—a redacted copy of
Governors’ Decision No. 10–1, which
establishes prices and classifications for
GREP contracts, a description of
applicable GREP contracts, formulas for
prices, an analysis of the formulas, and
certification of the Governors’ vote; and
• Attachment 4—an application for
non–public treatment of materials to
maintain redacted portions of the
contract and supporting documents
under seal.
The Notice advances reasons why the
instant GREP contract fits within the
Mail Classification Schedule language
for GREP Contracts 1. The Postal Service
identifies general contract terms that
distinguish the instant contract from the
baseline GREP agreement. It states that
the instant contract differs from the
contract in Docket No. CP2010–36
pertaining to revisions or clarification of
terms, e.g., definition of qualifying mail,
discounts offered by the reseller,
minimum revenue, periodic review of
minimum commitment, term,
assignment, number of rate groups, and
solicitation of reseller’s customers. Id. at
4–6. The Postal Service states that the
differences, which include price
variations based on updated costing
information and volume commitments,
do not alter the contract’s functional
equivalency. Id. at 4. The Postal Service
asserts that ‘‘[b]ecause the agreement
incorporates the same cost attributes
and methodology, the relevant
characteristics of this GREP contract are
similar, if not the same, as the relevant
characteristics of the contract filed in
Docket No. CP2010–36.’’ Id. at 4–5.
The Postal Service concludes that its
filing demonstrates that the new GREP
contract complies with the requirements
of 39 U.S.C. 3633 and is functionally
equivalent to the baseline GREP
contract. It states that the differences do
not affect the services being offered or
the fundamental structure of the
contract. Therefore, it requests that the
instant contract be included within the
GREP Contracts 1 product. Id. at 5–6.

Agency Forms Submitted for OMB
Review, Request for Comments
Summary: In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. chapter 35), the Railroad
Retirement Board (RRB) is forwarding
an Information Collection Request (ICR)
to the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs (OIRA), Office of
Management and Budget (OMB). Our
ICR describes the information we seek
to collect from the public. Review and
approval by OIRA ensures that we
impose appropriate paperwork burdens.
The RRB invites comments on the
proposed collection of information to
determine (1) the practical utility of the
collection; (2) the accuracy of the
estimated burden of the collection; (3)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information that is the
subject of collection; and (4) ways to
minimize the burden of collections on
respondents, including the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
Comments to the RRB or OIRA must
contain the OMB control number of the
ICR. For proper consideration of your
comments, it is best if the RRB and
OIRA receive them within 30 days of
the publication date.

benefits that accrued but were not paid
because of the death of the employee
shall be paid to the same individual(s)
to whom benefits are payable under
Section 6(a)(1) of the Railroad
Retirement Act. The provisions relating
to the payment of such benefits are
prescribed in 20 CFR 325.5 and 20 CFR
335.5.
The RRB provides Form UI–63 for use
in applying for the accrued sickness or
unemployment benefits unpaid at the
death of the employee and for securing
the information needed by the RRB to
identify the proper payee. One response
is requested of each respondent.
Completion is required to obtain a
benefit.
Previous Requests for Comments: The
RRB has already published the initial
60-day notice (76 FR 63960 on October

2. Title and Purpose of information
collection: Medicare; OMB 3220–0082.
Under Section 7(d) of the Railroad
Retirement Act (RRA), the Railroad
Retirement Board (RRB) administers the
Medicare program for persons covered
by the railroad retirement system. The
RRB uses Form AA–6, Employee
Application for Medicare; Form AA–7,
Spouse/Divorced Spouse Application
for Medicare; and Form AA–8, Widow/
Widower Application for Medicare; to
obtain the information needed to
determine whether individuals who
have not yet filed for benefits under the
RRA are qualified for Medicare
payments provided under Title XVIII of
the Social Security Act.
Further, in order to determine if a
qualified railroad retirement beneficiary
who is claiming supplementary medical
insurance coverage under Medicare is
entitled to a Special Enrollment Period
(SEP) and/or premium surcharge relief
because of coverage under an Employer
Group Health Plan (EGHP), the RRB
needs to obtain information regarding
the claimant’s EGHP coverage, if any.
The RRB uses Form RL–311–F,
Evidence of Coverage Under An
Employer Group Health Plan, to obtain
the basic information needed by the
RRB to establish EGHP coverage for a
qualified railroad retirement
beneficiary. Completion of the forms is
required to obtain a benefit. One
response is requested of each
respondent.
Previous Requests for Comments: The
RRB has already published the initial
60-day notice (76 FR 63960 on October
14, 2011) required by 44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2). That request elicited no
comments.
Information Collection Request (ICR)
Title: Medicare.
OMB Control Number: 3220–0082.
Forms submitted: AA–6, AA–7,
AA–8, RL–311–F.
Type of request: Extension without
change of a currently approved
collection.
Affected public: Individuals or
Households; Business-or-other for
profit.
Abstract: The Railroad Retirement
Board administers the Medicare
program for persons covered by the
railroad retirement system. The forms in
the collection obtain both information
needed to enroll non-retired employees
and survivor applicants in the plan and
information from railroad employers
needed to determine if a railroad
retirement beneficiary is entitled to a
special enrollment period when
applying for supplemental medical
coverage under Medicare.
Changes proposed: The RRB proposes
no changes to Forms AA–6, AA–7,
AA–8 or RL–311–F.

an employee or spouse annuitant. In
addition, the employee, spouse, or
divorced spouse Tier I annuity benefit is
subject to work deductions under
Section 2(f)(1) of the RRA for earnings
from any non-railroad employer that are
over the annual exempt amount. The

Rule 17Ac2–2 and Form TA–2, SEC File
No. 270–298, OMB Control No. 3235–
0337.
Notice is hereby given that pursuant
to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities
and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) is soliciting comments
on the existing collection of information
provided for in Rule 17Ac2–2 (17 CFR
240.17Ac2–2) and Form TA–2 under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15
U.S.C. 78a et seq.) (‘‘Exchange Act’’).
VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:58 Jan 20, 2012
Jkt 226001
Abstract: Under the Railroad
Retirement Act (RRA), benefits are not
payable if an annuitant works for an
employer covered under the RRA or last
non-railroad employer. The collection
obtains information regarding an
annuitant’s work and earnings from a
non-railroad employer. The information
is used for determining whether benefits
should be withheld.
Changes proposed: The RRB proposes
no changes to Form RL–231–F.
The burden estimate for the ICR is as
follows:
Rule 17Ac2–2 and Form TA–2 require
transfer agents to file an annual report
of their business activities with the
Commission.
These reporting requirements are
designed to ensure that all registered
transfer agents are providing the
Commission with sufficient information
on an annual basis about the transfer
agent community and for the
Commission to effectively monitor
business activities of transfer agents.
The amount of time needed to comply
with the requirements of amended Rule
17Ac2–2 and Form TA–2 varies. From
the total 473 registered transfer agents,
approximately 30 registrants would be
required to complete only Questions 1
through 4 and the signature section of
amended Form TA–2, which the
Commission estimates would take each
registrant about 30 minutes, for a total
burden of 15 hours (30 × .5 hours).
Approximately 111 registrants would be
required to answer Questions 1 through
5, 10, and 11 and the signature section,
which the Commission estimates would
take about 1 hour and 30 minutes, for
a total of 166.5 hours (111 × 1.5 hours).
The remaining registrants,
approximately 332, would be required
to complete the entire Form TA–2,
which the Commission estimates would
take about 6 hours, for a total of 1,992
hours (332 × 6 hours). The aggregate
annual burden on all 473 transfer agents
registered with the Commission as of
January 1, 2012, is thus approximately
2,174 hours (15 hours + 166.5 hours +
1,992 hours).
We estimate that the total cost of
reviewing and entering the information
reported on the Forms TA–2 for
respondents is $41.50 per hour. The
Commission estimates that the total
internal labor cost of complying with
the rule and form requirements would

be $90,221 annually ($41.50 × 2,174).
This, however, is solely a monetization
of the hour burden and is not a separate
cost burden.
Written comments are invited on: (a)
Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Commission, including whether the
information shall have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the Commission’s
estimates of the burden of the proposed
collection of information; (c) ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of the information on respondents; and
(d) ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents, including through the use
of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
Consideration will be given to
comments and suggestions submitted in
writing within 60 days of this
publication.
The Commission may not conduct or
sponsor a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid
Office of Management and Budget
(‘‘OMB’’) control number. No person
shall be subject to any penalty for failing
to comply with a collection of
information subject to the PRA that does
not display a valid OMB control
number.

Information Officer, Securities and
Exchange Commission, c/o Remi PavlikSimon, 6432 General Green Way,

Under Section 7(d) of the Railroad Retirement Act (RRA), the
Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) administers the Medicare program for
persons covered by the railroad retirement system. The RRB uses Form
AA-6, Employee Application for Medicare; Form AA-7, Spouse/Divorced

3. Title and Purpose of information collection: Request to Non-
Railroad Employer for Information About Annuitant's Work and Earnings;
OMB 3220-0107.
Under Section 2 of the Railroad Retirement Act (RRA), a railroad
employee's retirement annuity or an annuity paid to the spouse of a
railroad employee is subject to work deductions in the Tier II
component of the annuity and any employee supplemental annuity for any
month in which the annuitant works for a Last Pre-Retirement Non-
Railroad Employer (LPE). The LPE is defined as the last person,
company, or institution, other than a railroad employer, that employed
an employee or spouse annuitant. In addition, the employee, spouse, or
divorced spouse Tier I annuity benefit is subject to work deductions
under Section 2(f)(1) of the RRA for earnings from any non-railroad
employer that are over the annual exempt amount. The regulations
pertaining to non-payment of annuities by reason of work and LPE
[[Page 3291]]
are contained in 20 CFR 230.1 and 230.2.
The RRB utilizes Form RL-231-F, Request to Non-Railroad Employer

information needed to determine if a work deduction should be applied
because an annuitant worked in non-railroad employment after the
annuity beginning date. One response is requested of each respondent.
Completion is voluntary.
