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 an
forwarding 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.
1. Title and purpose of information
collection: Student Beneficiary
Monitoring; OMB 3220–0123.
Under provisions of the Railroad
Retirement Act (RRA), there are two
types of benefit payments that are based
on the status of a child being in fulltime elementary or secondary school
attendance at age 18–19: a survivor
child’s annuity benefit under Section
2(d)(1)(iii) and an increase in the
employee retirement annuity under the
Special Guaranty computation as
prescribed in section 3(f)(2) and 20 CFR
229.
The survivor student annuity is
usually paid by direct deposit to a
financial institution either into the
student’s checking or savings account or
into a joint bank account with a parent.
The requirements for eligibility as a
student are prescribed in 20 CFR 216.74,
and include students in independent
study and home schooling.
To help determine if a child is
entitled to student benefits, the RRB
requires evidence of full-time school
attendance. This evidence is acquired
through the RRB’s student monitoring
program, which utilizes the following
forms. Form G–315, Student
Questionnaire, obtains certification of a
student’s full-time school attendance as
well as information on the student’s
marital status, social security benefits,
and employment, which are needed to
determine entitlement or continued
entitlement to benefits under the RRA.
Form G–315A, Statement of School
Official, is used to obtain, from a school,
verification of a student’s full-time
attendance when the student fails to
return a monitoring Form G–315. Form
G–315A.1, School Official’s Notice of
Cessation of Full-Time School
Attendance, is used by a school to notify
the RRB that a student has ceased fulltime school attendance.
Previous Requests for Comments: The
RRB has already published the initial
60-day notice (79 FR 57988 on
September 26, 2014) required by 44
U.S.C. 3506(c)(2). That request elicited
no comments.
Information Collection Request (ICR)
Title: Student Beneficiary Monitoring.
OMB Control Number: 3220–0123.
Form(s) submitted: G–315, G–315A,
G–315A.1.
Type of request: Revision of a
currently approved collection of
information.
Affected public: Individuals or
Households.
Abstract: Under the Railroad
Retirement Act (RRA), a student benefit
is not payable if the student ceases fulltime school attendance, marries, works
in the railroad industry, has excessive
earnings or attains the upper age limit
under the RRA. The report obtains
information to be used to determine if
benefits should cease or be reduced.
Changes proposed: The RRB proposes
minor editorial and formatting changes
to Forms G–315, G–315A, and G–
315A.1.

2. Title and purpose of information
collection: RUIA Claims Notification
and Verification System; OMB 3220–
0171.
Section 5(b) of the Railroad
Unemployment Insurance Act (RUIA),
requires that effective January 1, 1990,
when a claim for benefits is filed with
the Railroad Retirement Board (RRB),
the RRB shall provide notice of the
claim to the claimant’s base year
employer(s) to provide them an
opportunity to submit information
relevant to the claim before making an
initial determination. If the RRB
determines to pay benefits to the
claimant under the RUIA, the RRB shall
notify the base-year employer(s).
The purpose of the RUIA Claims
Notification and Verification System is
to provide two notices, pre-payment
Form ID–4K, Prepayment Notice of
Employees’ Applications and Claims for
Benefits Under the Railroad
Unemployment Insurance Act, and postpayment Form ID–4E, Notice of RUIA
Claim Determination. Prepayment Form
ID–4K provides notice to a claimant’s
base-year employer(s), of each
unemployment application and
unemployment and sickness claim filed
for benefits under the RUIA and
provides the employer an opportunity to
convey information relevant to the
proper adjudication of the claim.
The railroad employer can elect to
receive Form ID–4K by one of three
options: A computer-generated paper
notice, by Electronic Data Interchange
(EDI), or online via the RRB’s Employer
Reporting System (ERS). The railroad
employer can respond to the ID–4K
notice by telephone, manually by
mailing a completed ID–4K back to the
RRB, or electronically via EDI or ERS.
Completion is voluntary. The RRB
proposes no changes to any of the ID–
4K options.
Once the RRB determines to pay a
claim post-payment Form Letter ID–4E,
Notice of RUIA Claim Determination, is
used to notify the base-year employer(s).
This gives the employer a second
opportunity to challenge the claim for
benefits.
The ID–4E mainframe-generated
paper notice, EDI, and Internet versions
are transmitted on a daily basis,
generally on the same day that the
claims are approved for payment.
Railroad employers who are mailed
Form ID–4E are instructed to write if
they want a reconsideration of the RRB’s
determination to pay. Employers who
receive the ID–4E electronically, may
file a reconsideration request by
completing the ID–4E by either EDI or
ERS. Completion is voluntary.

RRB has already published the initial

Statement of the Purpose of, and the

Change
1. Purpose
The Exchange proposes to reflect a
change in the administrative process for
determining the benchmark values used
by the ETFS Platinum Trust, the ETFS
Palladium Trust, the ETFS Precious
Metals Trust and the ETFS White Metals
Basket Trust (each a ‘‘Trust’’ and,
collectively, the ‘‘Trusts’’) with respect
to calculation of the net asset value
(‘‘NAV’’) of shares (‘‘Shares’’) of each
such Trust. The Trusts are listed and
traded pursuant to NYSE Arca Equities
Rules 8.201 for Commodity-Based Trust
Shares. The sponsor for the Trusts is
ETFS Services USA LLC (‘‘Sponsor’’).
The proposed administrative change
would replace as of the close of business
November 30, 2014 references to the
‘‘London AM Fix’’ and ‘‘London PM
Fix,’’ (collectively, the ‘‘London Fix’’),
the current platinum and palladium
price mechanism that the London
Platinum and Palladium Fixing
Company Limited (the ‘‘LPPFCL’’)
manually administers, with an
electronic platinum and palladium
bullion price fixing system (known as
LMEbullion) administered by the
London Metal Exchange (‘‘LME’’),4 as
described below.
Revised London Fix Procedures for
Platinum and Palladium
On November 18, 2014, the Sponsor
issued a press release (‘‘Press Release’’)
stating that the LPPFCL has announced
its intention to revise the London Fix
pricing benchmark processes for
platinum and palladium after November
30, 2014. The afternoon session of the
London Fix has been the ‘‘Benchmark
Price’’ for valuation of platinum and
palladium bullion held respectively by
each of the Trusts. The LPPFCL has
accepted a proposal by the LME to
administer revised platinum and
palladium price benchmark
mechanisms on its behalf. Commencing
December 1, 2014, the LME will operate
platinum and palladium bullion price
fixing systems (LMEbullion) that will

Authority (FCA), an independent non-governmental
body which exercises statutory regulatory power
under the Financial Services and Markets Act of
2000 of the United Kingdom and which also
regulates the major participating members of the
London Bullion Market Association and the London
Platinum and Palladium Market (the ‘‘LPPM’’).

replicate electronically the current
manual London Fix processes employed
by the LPPFCL as well as provide
electronic market clearing processes for
platinum and palladium bullion
transactions at the fixed prices
established by the LME pricing
mechanism.5 The new electronic price
fixing processes to be used by the LME
will continue to establish and publish
fixed prices for troy ounces of platinum
and palladium twice each London
trading day during fixing sessions
beginning at 9:45 a.m. London time (the
‘‘LME AM Fix’’) and 2:00 p.m. London
time (the ‘‘LME PM Fix’’). In addition to
utilizing the same London Fix standards
and methods, the LME will also
supervise the platinum and palladium
electronic price fixing processes through
its market operations, compliance,
internal audit and third-party complaint
handling capabilities in order to support
the integrity of the LME AM and PM
Fixes.
The Sponsor anticipates that,
commencing December 1, 2014, the
Sponsor will determine that the LME
PM Fix will continue to be an
appropriate basis for valuing platinum
and palladium, as applicable, received
upon purchase of a Trust’s Shares,
delivered upon redemption of a Trust’s
Shares and for determining the value of
a Trust’s platinum and palladium
bullion, as applicable each trading day.
The Sponsor also expects to determine
that the LME PM Fix will fairly
represent the commercial value of
platinum and palladium bullion, as
applicable, held by each Trust.

Summary: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. Chapter 35), the Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) is an
forwarding Information Collection Request (ICR) to the Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA), Office of Management and

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.
1. Title and purpose of information collection: Student Beneficiary
Monitoring; OMB 3220-0123.
Under provisions of the Railroad Retirement Act (RRA), there are
two types of benefit payments that are based on the status of a child
being in full-time elementary or secondary school attendance at age 18-
19: a survivor child's annuity benefit under Section 2(d)(1)(iii) and
an increase in the employee retirement annuity under the Special
Guaranty computation as prescribed in section 3(f)(2) and 20 CFR 229.
The survivor student annuity is usually paid by direct deposit to a
financial institution either into the student's checking or savings
account or into a joint bank account with a parent. The requirements
for eligibility as a student are prescribed in 20 CFR 216.74, and
include students in independent study and home schooling.
To help determine if a child is entitled to student benefits, the
RRB requires evidence of full-time school attendance. This evidence is
acquired through the RRB's student monitoring program, which utilizes
the following forms. Form G-315, Student Questionnaire, obtains
certification of a student's full-time school attendance as well as
information on the student's marital status, social security benefits,
and employment, which are needed to determine entitlement or continued
entitlement to benefits under the RRA. Form G-315A, Statement of School
Official, is used to obtain, from a school, verification of a student's
full-time attendance when the student fails to return a monitoring Form
G-315. Form G-315A.1, School Official's Notice of Cessation of Full-
Time School Attendance, is used by a school to notify the RRB that a
student has ceased full-time school attendance.
Previous Requests for Comments: The RRB has already published the
initial 60-day notice (79 FR 57988 on September 26, 2014) required by
44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2). That request elicited no comments.

2. Title and purpose of information collection: RUIA Claims
Notification and Verification System; OMB 3220-0171.
Section 5(b) of the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act (RUIA),
requires that effective January 1, 1990, when a claim for benefits is
filed with the Railroad Retirement Board (RRB), the RRB shall provide
notice of the claim to the claimant's base year employer(s) to provide
them an opportunity to submit information relevant to the claim before
making an initial determination. If the RRB determines to pay benefits
to the claimant under the RUIA, the RRB shall notify the base-year
employer(s).
The purpose of the RUIA Claims Notification and Verification System
is to provide two notices, pre-payment Form ID-4K, Prepayment Notice of
Employees' Applications and Claims for Benefits Under the Railroad
Unemployment Insurance Act, and post-payment Form ID-4E, Notice of RUIA
Claim Determination. Prepayment Form ID-4K provides notice to a
claimant's base-year employer(s), of each unemployment application and
unemployment and sickness claim filed for benefits under the RUIA and
provides the employer an opportunity to convey information relevant to
the proper adjudication of the claim.
The railroad employer can elect to receive Form ID-4K by one of
three options: A computer-generated paper notice, by Electronic Data
Interchange (EDI), or online via the RRB's Employer Reporting System
(ERS). The railroad employer can respond to the ID-4K notice by
telephone, manually by mailing a completed ID-4K back to the RRB, or
electronically via EDI or ERS. Completion is voluntary. The RRB
proposes no changes to any of the ID-4K options.
Once the RRB determines to pay a claim post-payment Form Letter ID-
4E, Notice of RUIA Claim Determination, is used to notify the base-year
employer(s). This gives the employer a second opportunity to challenge
the claim for benefits.
The ID-4E mainframe-generated paper notice, EDI, and Internet
versions are transmitted on a daily basis, generally on the same day
that the claims are approved for payment. Railroad employers who are
mailed Form ID-4E are instructed to write if they want a
reconsideration of the RRB's determination to pay. Employers who
receive the ID-4E electronically, may file a reconsideration request by
completing the ID-4E by either EDI or ERS. Completion is voluntary.
Previous Requests for Comments: The RRB has already published the
initial 60-day notice (79 FR 57988 on September 26, 2014) required by
44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2). That request elicited no comments.
Information Collection Request (ICR)
Title: RUIA Claims Notification and Verification System.
OMB Control Number: 3220-0171.
Form(s) submitted: ID-4K, ID-4K (INTERNET), ID-4E, ID-4E
(INTERNET).
Type of request: Extension without change of a currently approved
collection.
Affected public: Private Sector; Businesses or other for-profits.
Abstract: Section 5(b) of the RUIA requires that effective January
1, 1990, when a claim for benefits is filed with the Railroad
Retirement Board (RRB), the RRB shall provide notice of such claim to
the claimant's base-year employer(s) and afford such employer(s) an
opportunity to submit information relevant to the claim before making
an initial determination on the claim. When the RRB determines to pay
benefits to a claimant under the RUIA, the RRB shall provide notice of
such determination to the claimant's base year employer.
Changes proposed: The RRB proposes no changes to the forms in the
