consultation is required under Section 7
of the Endangered Species Act.
Likewise, the NRC staff has determined
that the proposed action does not have
the potential to cause effects on historic
properties even if they were present.
The identified LANL waste is being
stored in the FWF, the bottom of which
is more than 100 feet below grade, and
no ground disturbing activities are
associated with the proposed action.
Therefore, no consultation is required
under Section 106 of the National
Historic Preservation Act.
III. Finding of No Significant Impact
The NRC has reviewed WCS’s July 18,
2014, request to amend the 2009 Order.
The NRC has found that effluent
releases and potential radiological doses
to the public are not anticipated to
change as a result of this action and that
occupational exposures are expected to
remain within regulatory limits and as
low as reasonably achievable. On the
basis of the environmental assessment,
the NRC concludes that the proposed
action did not have a significant effect
on the quality of the human
environment. Accordingly, the NRC has
determined not to prepare an
environmental impact statement for the
proposed action.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 30th day
of October 2014.

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

The provisions relating to the payment
of such benefits are prescribed in 20
CFR 325.5 and 20 CFR 335.5.
The RRB provides Form UI–63,

Under Section 7(d) of the Railroad
Retirement Act (RRA), the Railroad
Retirement Board (RRB) administers the
Medicare program for persons covered
by the railroad retirement system. The
RRB uses Form AA–6, Employee
Application for Medicare; Form AA–7,
Spouse/Divorced Spouse Application

Widower Application for Medicare; to
obtain the information needed to
determine whether individuals who
have not yet filed for benefits under the

the Social Security Act.
Further, in order to determine if a
qualified railroad retirement beneficiary
who is claiming supplementary medical
insurance coverage under Medicare is
entitled to a Special Enrollment Period
(SEP) and/or premium surcharge relief
because of coverage under an Employer
Group Health Plan (EGHP), the RRB
needs to obtain information regarding
the claimant’s EGHP coverage, if any.
The RRB uses Form RL–311–F,

Employer Group Health Plan, to obtain
the basic information needed to
establish EGHP coverage for a qualified
railroad retirement beneficiary.
Completion of the forms is required to
obtain a benefit. One response is

4. Title and purpose of information
collection: Gross Earnings Report; OMB
3220–0132.
In order to carry out the financial
interchange provisions of section 7(c)(2)
of the Railroad Retirement Act (RRA),
the RRB obtains annually from railroad
employer’s the gross earnings for their
employees on a one-percent basis, i.e.,
1% of each employer’s railroad
employees. The gross earnings sample is
based on the earnings of employees
VerDate Sep<11>2014
19:46 Nov 05, 2014
Jkt 235001
whose social security numbers end with
the digits ‘‘30.’’ The gross earnings are
used to compute payroll taxes under the
financial interchange.
The gross earnings information is
essential in determining the tax
amounts involved in the financial
interchange with the Social Security
Administration and Centers for
Medicare and Medicaid Services.
Besides being necessary for current
financial interchange calculations, the
PO 00000

gross earnings file tabulations are also
an integral part of the data needed to
estimate future tax income and
corresponding financial interchange
amounts. These estimates are made for
internal use and to satisfy requests from
other government agencies and
interested groups. In addition, cash flow
projections of the social security
equivalent benefit account, railroad
retirement account and cost estimates
made for proposed amendments to laws

The RRB utilizes Form BA–11 to
obtain gross earnings information from
railroad employers. Employers have the
option of preparing and submitting BA–
11 reports online via the RRB’s
Employer Reporting System or on paper
(or in like format) on magnetic tape
cartridges, by File Transfer Protocol
(FTP), or secure Email. The online BA–
11 includes the option to file a
‘‘negative report’’ (no employees, or no
employees with the digits ‘‘30’’).
Completion is mandatory. One response
is requested of each respondent. The
RRB proposes to formally eliminate the
paper and magnetic tape cartridge
versions of Form BA–11 from the
information collection.
