RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD

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
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 229001
comments, it is best if the RRB and
OIRA receive them within 30 days of
the publication date.
In accordance with Executive Order
12862, the Railroad Retirement Board
(RRB) conducts a number of customer
surveys designed to determine the kinds
and quality of services our beneficiaries,
claimants, employers and members of
the public want and expect, as well as
their satisfaction with existing RRB
services. The information collected is
used by RRB management to monitor
customer satisfaction by determining to
what extent services are satisfactory and
where and to what extent services can
be improved. The surveys are limited to
data collections that solicit strictly
voluntary opinions, and do not collect
information which is required or
regulated. The information collection,
which was first approved by the OMB
in 1997, provides the RRB with a
generic clearance authority. This
generic authority allows the RRB to
submit a variety of new or revised
customer survey instruments (needed to
timely implement customer monitoring
activities) to OMB for expedited review
and approval. Our ICR describes the
information we seek to collect from the
public.
Previous Requests for Comments: The
RRB has already published the initial
60-day notice (78 FR 13914 on March 1,
2013) required by 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2).
That request elicited no comments.
Information Collection Request (ICR)
Title: Customer Surveys in
Accordance with E.O. 12862.
OMB Control Number: 3220–0192.
Form(s) submitted: G–201, Customer
Assessment Survey.
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 (RRB) utilizes voluntary customer
surveys to ascertain customer
satisfaction with the RRB in terms of
timeliness, appropriateness, access, and
other measures of quality service.
Surveys involve individuals that are
direct or indirect beneficiaries of RRB
services as well as railroad employers
who must report changes.
Changes proposed: The RRB proposes
no changes to the information
collection.
The burden estimate for the ICR is as
follows:
The average burden per response for
customer satisfaction activities is
estimated to range from 2 minutes for a
Web site questionnaire to 2 hours for
participation in a focus group. The RRB
PO 00000
Frm 00070

estimates an annual burden of 1,750
annual responses totaling 735 hours for
the generic customer survey clearance.
Additional Information or Comments:

Rule 204A–1, OMB Control No. 3235–
0596, SEC File No. 270–536.
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 (the
‘‘Commission’’) is soliciting comments
on the collections of information
summarized below. The Commission
plans to submit these existing
collections of information to the Office
of Management and Budget for
extension and approval.
The title for the collection of
information is ‘‘Rule 204A–1 (17 CFR
275.204A–1) under the Investment
Advisers Act of 1940’’ (15 U.S.C. 80b–
1 et seq.) Rule 204A–1 (the ‘‘Code of
Ethics Rule’’) requires investment
advisers registered with the Commission
to (i) set forth standards of conduct
expected of advisory personnel
(including compliance with the federal
securities laws); (ii) safeguard material
nonpublic information about client
transactions; and (iii) require the
adviser’s ‘‘access persons’’ to report
their personal securities transactions,
including transactions in any mutual
fund managed by the adviser. The Code
of Ethics Rule requires access persons to
obtain the adviser’s approval before
investing in an initial public offering or

private placement. The Code of Ethics
Rule also requires prompt reporting, to
the adviser’s chief compliance officer or
another person designated in the code of
ethics, of any violations of the code.
Finally, the Code of Ethics Rule requires
the adviser to provide each supervised
person with a copy of the code and any
amendments, and require the
supervised persons to acknowledge, in
writing, their receipt of these copies.
The purposes of the information
collection requirements are to: (i)
Ensure that advisers maintain codes of
ethics applicable to their supervised
persons; (ii) provide advisers with
information about the personal
securities transactions of their access
persons for purposes of monitoring such
transactions; (iii) provide advisory
clients with information with which to
evaluate advisers’ codes of ethics; and
(iv) assist the Commission’s
examination staff in assessing the
adequacy of advisers’ codes of ethics
and assessing personal trading activity
by advisers’ supervised persons.
The respondents to this information
collection are investment advisers
registered with the Commission. The
Commission has estimated that
compliance with rule 204A–1 imposes a
burden of approximately 118 hours per
adviser annually for an estimated total
annual burden of 1,255,342 hours.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid 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.
Written comments are invited on: (a)
Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate
of the burden of the collection of
information; (c) ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information collected; 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.
