$119,554 in 2012. The applicable
maximum rate of the SL/ST rate range
continues to be $179,700 (level II of the
Executive Schedule) for SL or ST
employees covered by a certified SL/ST
performance appraisal system and
$165,300 (level III of the Executive
Schedule) for SL or ST employees
covered by an SL/ST performance
appraisal system that has not been
certified. Agencies with certified
performance appraisal systems in 2012
for SES members and employees in SL
and ST positions also must apply a
higher aggregate limitation on pay—up
to the Vice President’s salary ($230,700
in 2012, the same level as in 2010/
2011).
Executive Order 13594 provides that
the rates of basic pay for administrative
law judges (ALJs) under 5 U.S.C. 5372
are not increased in 2012. The rate of
basic pay for AL–1 remains at $155,500
(equivalent to the rate for level IV of the
Executive Schedule). The rate of basic
pay for AL–2 remains at $151,800. The
rates of basic pay for AL–3/A through 3/
F continue to range from $103,900 to
$143,700.
The rates of basic pay for members of
Contract Appeals Boards are calculated
as a percentage of the rate for level IV
of the Executive Schedule. (See 5 U.S.C.
5372a.) Therefore, these rates of basic
pay are not increased in 2012.
On October 28, 2011, the Director of
OPM issued a memorandum on behalf
of the President’s Pay Agent (the
Secretary of Labor and the Directors of
the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) and OPM) that continues GS
locality payments for ALJs and certain
other non-GS employee categories in
2012. By law, officials paid under the
Executive Schedule, SES members,
employees in SL/ST positions, and
employees in certain other equivalent
pay systems are not authorized to
receive locality payments. (Note: An
exception applies to certain
grandfathered SES, SL, and ST
employees stationed in a nonforeign
area on January 2, 2010.) Except for
employees in nonforeign areas, the
locality payments continued for non-GS
employees have not been increased in
2012. The memo is available at https://
www.opm.gov/flsa/oca/11tables/
Extend_2012.pdf.
On December 21, 2011, OPM issued a
memorandum (CPM 2011–21) on the
Executive order for the 2012 pay
schedules. (See https://www.opm.gov/
oca/compmemo/index.asp.) The
memorandum transmitted Executive
Order 13594 and provided the 2012
salary tables, locality pay areas and
percentages, and information on general
pay administration matters and other

RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD
Agency Forms Submitted for OMB
Review, Request for Comments
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.
Under Section 2 of the Railroad
Retirement Act, an annuity is not
payable or is reduced for any month in
which the annuitant works for a railroad

or earns more than prescribed dollar
amounts from either non-railroad
employment or self-employment.
Certain types of work may indicate an
annuitant’s recovery from disability.
The provisions relating to the reduction
or non-payment of an annuity by reason
of work, and an annuitant’s recovery
from disability for work, are prescribed
in 20 CFR 220.17–220.20. The RRB
conducts continuing disability reviews
(CDR) to determine whether an
annuitant continues to meet the
disability requirements of the law.
Provisions relating to when and how
often the RRB conducts CDRs are
prescribed in 20 CFR 220.186.
Form G–254, Continuing Disability
Report, is used by the RRB to develop
information for a CDR determination,
including a determination prompted by
a report of work, return to railroad
service, allegation of medical
improvement, or a routine disability
review call-up.
Form G–254a, Continuing Disability
Update Report, is used to help identify
a disability annuitant whose work
activity and/or recent medical history
warrants completion of Form G–254 for
a more extensive review.
Completion is required to retain a
benefit. One response is requested of
each respondent to Forms G–254 and G–
254a.
Previous Requests for Comments: The
RRB has already published the initial
60-day notice (76 FR 80988 on
December 27, 2011) required by 44
U.S.C. 3506(c)(2). That request elicited
no comments.

on the collection of information
summarized below. The Commission
plans to submit this existing collection
of information to the Office of

extension and approval.
Open-end management investment
companies (‘‘funds’’) are required to
submit to the Commission information
included in their registration
statements, or information included in
or amended by post-effective
amendments thereto, in response to
Items 2, 3, and 4 (‘‘risk/return summary
information’’) of Form N–1A (17 CFR
239.15A and 274.11A) in interactive
data format and to post it on their Web
sites, if any, in interactive data form. In
addition, funds are required to submit
an interactive data file to the
Commission for any form of prospectus
filed pursuant to rule 497(c) or (e) (17
CFR 230.497) under the Securities Act
of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.) that

Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et

of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a–1 et seq.) that set
forth disclosure requirements for funds
and other issuers. The purpose of the
Mutual Fund Interactive Data
requirements is to make risk/return
summary information easier for
investors to analyze and to assist in
automating regulatory filings and
business information processing.
Funds are required to file an initial
registration statement on Form N–1A
and to update that registration statement
annually. The Commission estimates
that each fund will submit one
interactive data document as an exhibit
to a registration statement or a posteffective amendment thereto on Form
N–1A that includes or amends
information provided in response to
Items 2, 3 or 4 annually. In addition,
based on a review by Commission staff
of Mutual Fund Interactive Data
submissions in calendar year 2011, the
Commission estimates that 33% of
funds will provide risk/return summary
information as interactive data in
additional filings submitted pursuant to
rule 485(b) (17 CFR 230.485(b)) or rule
497 under the Securities Act annually.
The Commission estimates that the
total annual hour burden associated
with tagging risk/return summary
information is approximately 11 hours.
