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
two Information Collection Requests
(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 collections of information to
determine (1) the practical utility of the
collections; (2) the accuracy of the
estimated burden of the collections; (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.
1. Title and purpose of information
collection: Survivor Questionnaire;
OMB 3220–0032.
Under Section 6 of the Railroad
Retirement Act (RRA), benefits that may
be due on the death of a railroad
employee or a survivor annuitant
include (1) a lump-sum death benefit (2)
a residual lump-sum payment (3)
accrued annuities due but unpaid at
death, and (4) monthly survivor
insurance payments. The requirements
for determining the entitlement of
possible beneficiaries to these benefits
are prescribed in 20 CFR 234.
When the Railroad Retirement Board
(RRB) receives notification of the death
of a railroad employee or survivor
annuitant, an RRB field office utilizes
Form RL–94–F, Survivor Questionnaire,
to secure additional information from
surviving relatives needed to determine
if any further benefits are payable under
the RRA. Completion is voluntary. One
response is requested of each
respondent.
Previous Requests for Comments: The
RRB has already published the initial
60-day notice (77 FR 51834 on August
27, 2012) required by 44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2). That request elicited no
comments.
Information Collection Request (ICR)
Title: Survivor Questionnaire .
OMB Control Number: 3220–0032.
Form(s) submitted: RL–94–F.
Type of request: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Affected public: Individuals or
Households.
Abstract: Under Section 6 of the
Railroad Retirement Act, benefits are
payable to the survivors of the estates of
deceased railroad employees. The
collection obtains information used to
determine if and to whom benefits are
payable; such as a widow(er) due
survivor benefits, an executor of the
estate, or a payer of burial expenses.
Changes proposed: The RRB proposes
collecting identifying information when
a trustee pays the burial expenses;
minor non-burden impacting
clarification; and editorial changes to
Form RL–94–F.

2. Title and Purpose of information
collection: Request for Medicare
Payment; OMB 3220–0131.
Under Section 7(d) of the Railroad
Retirement Act, the RRB administers the
Medicare program for persons covered
by the railroad retirement system. The
collection obtains the information
needed by Palmetto GBA, the Medicare
carrier for railroad retirement
beneficiaries, to pay claims for
payments under Part B of the Medicare
program. Authority for collecting the
information is prescribed in 42 CFR
424.32.
The RRB currently utilizes Forms G–
740S, Patient’s Request for Medicare
Payment, along with Centers for
Medicare & Medicaid Services Form
CMS–1500, to secure the information
necessary to pay Part B Medicare
Claims. One response is completed for
each claim. Completion is required to
obtain a benefit.
Previous Requests for Comments: The
RRB has already published the initial
60-day notice (77 FR 51834 on
September 4, 2012) required by 44
U.S.C. 3506(c)(2). That request elicited
no comments.

proposing minor, non-burden impacting
editorial and cosmetic changes to RRB
Form G–740S.
The burden estimate for the ICR is as
follows:
Estimated annual number of
respondents: See Justification (Item No.
12).
Total annual responses: 1.
Total annual reporting hours: 1.
3. Title and Purpose of information
collection: Employer’s Deemed Service
Month Questionnaire; OMB 3220–0156.
Section 3(i) of the Railroad Retirement
Act (RRA), as amended by Public Law
98–76, provides that the Railroad
Retirement Board (RRB), under certain
circumstances, may deem additional
months of service in cases where an
employee does not actually work in
every month of the year, provided the
employee satisfies certain eligibility
requirements, including the existence of
an employment relation between the
employee and his or her employer. The
procedures pertaining to the deeming of
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
Questionnaire, to obtain service and
compensation information from railroad
employers to determine if an employee
can be credited with additional deemed
months of railroad service. Completion
is mandatory. One response is required
for each RRB inquiry.
Previous Requests for Comments: The
RRB has already published the initial
60-day notice (77 FR 51834 on August

service in cases where an employee
does not actually work in every month
of the year. The collection obtains
service and compensation information
from railroad employers needed to
determine if an employee may be
credited with additional months of
railroad service.
Changes proposed: The RRB is
proposing revisions to Form GL–99 to
obtain only a ‘‘Yes’’ or ‘‘No’’ response
regarding whether an employee was in
an employment relationship with an
employer during any months indicated
on the GL–99 as not worked. Other
minor non-burden impacting editorial
changes are also proposed.
