• Information gathered will yield
qualitative information; the collections
will not be designed or expected to
yield statistically reliable results or used
as though the results are generalizable to
the population of interest.
As noted, feedback collected under
this generic clearance does not produce
results generalizable to the population
of interest. This type of generic
clearance for qualitative information
will not be used for quantitative
information collections that are
designed to yield reliably actionable
results, such as monitoring trends over
time or documenting program
performance. Collections with such
objectives require more rigorous designs
that address: The target population to
which generalizations will be made, the
sampling frame, the sample design
(including stratification and clustering),
the precision requirements or power
calculations that justify the proposed
sample size, the expected response rate,
methods for assessing potential nonresponse bias, the protocols for data
collection, and any testing procedures
that were or will be undertaken prior to
fielding the study.
As a general matter, information
collections will not result in any new
system of records containing privacy
information and will not ask questions
of a sensitive nature, such as sexual
behavior and attitudes, religious beliefs,
and other matters that are commonly
considered private.
Current Action: Extension of approval
for a collection of information (OMB
Control Number 1212–0066; expires
June 30, 2014).
Type of Review: Regular.
Affected Public: Individuals and
households, businesses and
organizations, State, Local or Tribal
Government.
Estimated Annual Number of
Respondents: 1180.
Below are projected average annual
estimates for the next three years:
Average Expected Annual Number of
Activities: Three.
Average Number of Respondents per
Activity (varies by activity):
• Usability Testing: 40.
• Focus Group: 90 (nine groups of ten
respondents).
• Customer Satisfaction Survey: 1050.
Frequency of Response: Once per
request.
Annual Responses: 1,180 (based on
one response per respondent).
Average Time per Response (varies by
activity):
• Two hours per response for
Usability Testing and Focus Groups;
• 15 minutes for Customer
Satisfaction Survey.

Burden Hours (varies by activity):
• Usability Testing, 80 hours.
• Focus Group, 180 hours.
• Customer Satisfaction Survey, 263
hours.
Total: 523 hours.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor,
and a person is not required to respond
to, a collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid Office of
Management and Budget control
number.
Request for Comments: PBGC is
soliciting public comments to—
• Evaluate whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
• Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used;
• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
• Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of responses.

Privacy Act of 1974; System of
Records
Postal ServiceTM.
ACTION: Notice of modification to
existing systems of records.
AGENCY:
The United States Postal
Service® is proposing to modify one
General Privacy Act Systems of Records.
These updates are being made to
facilitate the implementation of a
complex, self-service password and to
account for the collection of additional
data elements including challenge
questions, challenge answers, and
optional email addresses to be used in
the password reset process.
DATES: These revisions will become
effective without further notice on May
12, 2014 unless comments received on
or before that date result in a contrary
determination.

Officer, Privacy and Records Office,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
notice is in accordance with the Privacy
Act requirement that agencies publish
their amended systems of records in the
Federal Register when there is a
revision, change, or addition. The Postal
ServiceTM has reviewed these systems of
records and has determined that this
General Privacy Act System of Records
should be revised to modify categories
of records in the system and purpose(s).
ADDRESSES:
I. Background
Currently, Postal Service employees
use their Postal Service-issued
Employee Identification Number (EIN)
and personal identification number
(PIN) to access data pertaining to them
in postal information systems such as
PostalEASE, LiteBlue and other sites
that they use EINs and PINs to access.
To improve protection of employee
privacy by strengthening the
authentication process for accessing
postal information systems, the Postal
Service intends to implement a new,
complex, self-service password to
replace the existing self-service PIN.
II. Rationale for Changes to USPS
Privacy Act Systems of Records
The system of records 500.000,
Property Management Records, is being
modified to account for the collection of
an employee’s challenge questions,
challenge answers, and optionally,
email addresses. These elements will be
provided by the employee, collected
during the initial establishment of the
password, and will be used to
authenticate the user in any subsequent
requests by the user to reset his or her
password.
III. Description of Changes to Systems
of Records
The Postal Service is modifying one
system of records listed below. Pursuant
to 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(11), interested
persons are invited to submit written
data, views, or arguments on this
proposal. A report of the proposed
modifications has been sent to Congress
and to the Office of Management and
Budget for their evaluation. The Postal
Service does not expect this amended

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
comments, it is best if the RRB and
OIRA receive them within 30 days of
the publication date.
Section 2 of the Railroad Retirement
Act (RRA) provides for the payment of
disability annuities to qualified
employees. Section 2 also provides that
if the Railroad Retirement Board (RRB)
receives a report of an annuitant
working for a railroad or earning more
than prescribed dollar amounts from
either nonrailroad employment or selfemployment, the annuity is no longer
payable, or can be reduced, for the
months worked. The regulations related
to the nonpayment or reduction of the
annuity by reason of work are
prescribed in 20 CFR 220.160–164.
Some activities claimed by the
applicant as ‘‘self-employment’’ may
actually be employment for someone
else (e.g. training officer, consultant,
salesman). 20 CFR 216.22(c) states, for
example, that an applicant is considered
an employee, and not self-employed,
when acting as a corporate officer, since
the corporation is the applicant’s
employer. Whether the RRB classifies a
PO 00000
Frm 00086
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
particular activity as self-employment or
as work for an employer depends upon
the circumstances in each case. The
circumstances are prescribed in 20 CFR
216.21–216–23.
Certain types of work may actually
indicate an annuitant’s recovery from
disability. Regulations related to an
annuitant’s recovery from disability of
work are prescribed in 20 CFR 220.17–
220–20.
In addition, the RRB conducts
continuing disability reviews, (also
known as a CDR) to determine whether
the annuitant continues to meet the
disability requirements of the law.
Payment of disability benefits and/or a
beneficiary’s period of disability will
end if medical evidence or other
information shows that an annuitant is
not disabled under the standards
prescribed in Section 2 of the RRA.
Continuing disability reviews are
generally conducted if one or more of
the following conditions are met: (1)
The annuitant is scheduled for a routine
periodic review, (2) the annuitant
returns to work and successfully
completes a trial work period, (3)
substantial earnings are posted to the
annuitant’s wage record, or (4)
information is received from the
annuitant or a reliable source that the
annuitant has recovered or returned to
work. Provisions relating to when and
how often the RRB conducts disability
reviews are prescribed in 20 CFR
220.186.
To enhance program integrity
activities, the RRB utilizes Form G–252,
Self-Employment/Corporate Officer
Work and Earnings Monitoring. Form
G–252 obtains information from a
disability annuitant who claims to be
self-employed or a corporate officer or
who the RRB determines to be selfemployed or a corporate officer after a
continuing disability review. The
continuing disability review may be
prompted by a report of work, return to
railroad service, an allegation of a
medical improvement or a routine
disability review call-up. The
information gathered is used to
determine entitlement and/or continued
entitlement to, and the amount of, the
disability annuity, as prescribed in 20
CFR 220.176. Completion is required to
retain benefits. One response is required
of each respondent.
Previous Requests for Comments: The
RRB has already published the initial
60-day notice (79 FR 5471 on January
31, 2014) required by 44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2). That request elicited no
comments.
