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.

RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD
Proposed Collection; Comment
Request
Summary: In accordance with the
requirement of Section 3506 (c)(2)(A) of
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
which provides opportunity for public
comment on new or revised data
collections, the Railroad Retirement
Board (RRB) will publish periodic
summaries of proposed data collections.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed information collection is
necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the agency, including
whether the information has practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of the RRB’s
estimate of the burden of the collection
of the information; (c) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (d)
ways to minimize the burden related to
the collection of information on
respondents, including the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
1. Title and purpose of information
collection: Financial Disclosure
Statement; OMB 3220–0127.
Under Section 10 of the Railroad
Retirement Act and Section 2(d) of the
Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act,
the RRB may recover overpayments of
annuities, pensions, death benefits,
unemployment benefits, and sickness
benefits that were made erroneously. An
overpayment may be waived if the
beneficiary was not at fault in causing
the overpayment and recovery would
cause financial hardship. The
regulations for the recovery and waiver
of erroneous payments are contained in
20 CFR 255 and CFR 340.
The RRB utilizes Form DR–423,
Financial Disclosure Statement, to
obtain information about the overpaid
beneficiary’s income, debts, and
expenses if that person indicates that
(s)he cannot make restitution for the
overpayment. The information is used
to determine if the overpayment should
be waived as wholly or partially
uncollectible. If waiver is denied, the
information is used to determine the
size and frequency of installment
payments. The beneficiary is made
aware of the overpayment by letter and
is offered a variety of methods for
recovery. One response is requested of
each respondent. Completion is
voluntary. However, failure to provide
the requested information may result in
a denial of the waiver request. The RRB
proposes no changes to Form DR–423.

2. Title and purpose of information
collection: Representative Payee
Parental Custody Monitoring; OMB
3220–0176.
Under Section 12(a) of the Railroad
Retirement Act (RRA), the Railroad
Retirement Board (RRB) is authorized to
select, make payments to, and to
conduct transactions with, a
beneficiary’s relative or some other

person willing to act on behalf of the
beneficiary as a representative payee.
The RRB is responsible for determining
if direct payment to the beneficiary or
payment to a representative payee
would best serve the beneficiary’s
interest. Inherent in the RRB’s
authorization to select a representative
payee is the responsibility to monitor
the payee to assure that the beneficiary’s
PO 00000

interests are protected. The RRB utilizes
Form G–99d, Parental Custody Report,
to obtain information needed to verify
that a parent-for-child representative
payee still has custody of the child. One
response is required from each
respondent. The RRB proposes minor
non-burden impacting formatting and
editorial changes.
