RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD
Agency Forms Submitted for OMB
Review, Request for Comments
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.
SUMMARY:
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: Certification of Termination
of Service and Relinquishment of
Rights; OMB 3220–0016.
Under Section 2(e)(2) of the Railroad
Retirement Act (RRA), an age and
service annuity, spouse annuity, or
divorced spouse annuity cannot be paid
unless the RRB has evidence that the
applicant has ceased railroad
employment and relinquished rights to
return to the service of a railroad
employer. The procedure pertaining to
the relinquishment of rights by an
annuity applicant is prescribed in 20
CFR 216.24. Under Section 2(f)(6) of the
RRA, earnings deductions are required
each month an annuitant works in
certain nonrailroad employment termed
Last Pre-Retirement Non-Railroad
Employment.
Normally, the employee, spouse, or
divorced spouse relinquishes rights and
certifies that employment has ended as
part of the annuity application process.
However, this is not always the case. In
limited circumstances, the RRB utilizes
Form G–88, Certification of Termination
of Service and Relinquishment of
Rights, to obtain an applicant’s report of
termination of employment and
relinquishment of rights. One response
is required of each respondent.
Completion is required to obtain or
retain benefits.
Previous Requests for Comments: The
RRB has already published the initial
60-day notice (79 FR 29821 on May 23,
2014) required by 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2).
That request elicited no comments.
