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 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.
Title and Purpose of information
collection: Pension Plan Reports; OMB
3220–0089.
Under Section 2(b) of the Railroad
Retirement Act (RRA), the Railroad
Retirement Board (RRB) pays
supplemental annuities to qualified RRB
employee annuitants. A supplemental
annuity, which is computed according
to Section 3(e) of the RRA, can be paid
at age 60 if the employee has at least 30
years of creditable railroad service or at
age 65 if the employee has 25–29 years
of railroad service. In addition to 25
years of service, a ‘‘current connection’’
with the railroad industry is required.
Eligibility is further limited to
employees who had at least one month
of rail service before October 1981 and
were awarded regular annuities after
June 1966. Further, if an employee’s
65th birthday was prior to September 2,
1981, he or she must not have worked
in rail service after certain closing dates
(generally the last day of the month
following the month in which age 65 is
attained). Under Section 2(h)(2) of the
RRA, the amount of the supplemental
annuity is reduced if the employee
receives monthly pension payments, or
a lump-sum pension payment from a
private pension from a railroad
employer, to the extent the payments
E:\FR\FM\17JYN1.SGM
17JYN1
41709
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 137 / Thursday, July 17, 2014 / Notices
are based on contributions from that
employer. The employee’s own
contribution to their pension account
does not cause a reduction. A private
railroad employer pension is defined in
20 CFR 216.42.
The RRB requires the following
information from railroad employers to
calculate supplemental annuities: (a)
The current status of railroad employer
pension plans and whether such plans
cause reductions to the supplemental
annuity; (b) whether the employee
receives monthly payments from a
private railroad employer pension,
elected to receive a lump-sum in lieu of
month pension payments from such a
plan; (c) the date monthly pension
payments began or a lump-sum payment
was received; and (d) the amount of the
payments attributable to the railroad
employer’s contributions. The
requirement that railroad employers
furnish pension information to the RRB
is contained in 20 CFR 209.2.
The RRB currently utilizes Form G–
88p, Employer’s Supplemental Pension
Report, and Form G–88r, Request for
Information About New or Revised
Employer Pension Plan, to obtain the
necessary information from railroad
employers. One response is requested of
each respondent. Completion is
mandatory.
Previous Requests for Comments: The
RRB has already published the initial
60-day notice (79 FR 24762 on May 1,
2014) required by 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2).
That request elicited no comments.
Information Collection Request (ICR)
Title: Pension Plan Reports.
OMB Control Number: 3220–0089.
Forms submitted: G–88p and G–88r.
Type of request: Revision of a
currently approved collection of
information.
Affected public: Businesses or other
for-profits.
Abstract: The Railroad Retirement Act
provides for payment of a supplemental
annuity to a qualified railroad
retirement annuitant. The collection
obtains information from the annuitant’s
employer to determine (a) the existence
of railroad employer pension plans and
whether such plans, if they exist,
require a reduction to supplemental
annuities paid to the employer’s former
employees and (b) the amount of
supplemental annuities due railroad
employees.
Changes proposed: The RRB proposes
to revise Forms G–88p and G–88r to
remove information related to the
reporting of 401(k) savings plans and to
make other editorial changes. The RRB
also proposes the implementation of an
Internet equivalent version of Form G–
88p that can be submitted through the
Employer Reporting System

OCC proposed to amend OCC Rule
604 in order to make its existing policy
concerning specified concentration
limits related to deposits of certain
letters of credit (‘‘LC’’) applicable to all
letters of credit. Currently, OCC imposes
concentration limits on clearing member
margin deposits of LCs issued by certain
non-U.S. institutions.4 Specifically,
OCC limits a clearing member’s margin
deposits of LCs issued by such non-U.S.
institutions to no more than 50% of a
clearing member’s total margin deposit
at any given time, and no more than
20% of a clearing member’s margin
4 These concentration limits, however, are not
currently applied to LCs issued by non-U.S.
institutions that qualify as financial holding
companies under Federal Reserve Board of
Governors Regulation Y or have an affiliate that is
so qualified. See 17 CFR 225. In order to be deemed
a financial holding company under Regulation Y,
among other things, the institution must make
certain certifications regarding the capitalization of
the depository institutions controlled by the
holding company. See OCC Rule 604, Interpretation
and Policy .02. See also Securities Exchange Act
Release No. 5037 (November 6, 2001), 66 FR 57143
(November 14, 2001) (SR–OCC–2001–03).

Agency Forms Submitted for OMB Review, Request for Comments
Summary: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44

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

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.
Title and Purpose of information collection: Pension Plan Reports;
OMB 3220-0089.
Under Section 2(b) of the Railroad Retirement Act (RRA), the
Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) pays supplemental annuities to
qualified RRB employee annuitants. A supplemental annuity, which is
computed according to Section 3(e) of the RRA, can be paid at age 60 if
the employee has at least 30 years of creditable railroad service or at
age 65 if the employee has 25-29 years of railroad service. In addition
to 25 years of service, a ``current connection'' with the railroad
industry is required. Eligibility is further limited to employees who
had at least one month of rail service before October 1981 and were
awarded regular annuities after June 1966. Further, if an employee's
65th birthday was prior to September 2, 1981, he or she must not have
worked in rail service after certain closing dates (generally the last
day of the month following the month in which age 65 is attained).
Under Section 2(h)(2) of the RRA, the amount of the supplemental
annuity is reduced if the employee receives monthly pension payments,
or a lump-sum pension payment from a private pension from a railroad
employer, to the extent the payments
[[Page 41709]]
are based on contributions from that employer. The employee's own
contribution to their pension account does not cause a reduction. A
private railroad employer pension is defined in 20 CFR 216.42.
The RRB requires the following information from railroad employers
to calculate supplemental annuities: (a) The current status of railroad
employer pension plans and whether such plans cause reductions to the
supplemental annuity; (b) whether the employee receives monthly
payments from a private railroad employer pension, elected to receive a
lump-sum in lieu of month pension payments from such a plan; (c) the
date monthly pension payments began or a lump-sum payment was received;
and (d) the amount of the payments attributable to the railroad
employer's contributions. The requirement that railroad employers
furnish pension information to the RRB is contained in 20 CFR 209.2.
The RRB currently utilizes Form G-88p, Employer's Supplemental
Pension Report, and Form G-88r, Request for Information About New or
