ICR. For proper consideration of your

OIRA receive them within 30 days of
the publication date.
1. Title and purpose of information
collection: Railroad Service and
Compensation Reports/System Access
Application; OMB 3220–0008.
Under Section 9 of the Railroad
Retirement Act (RRA) and Section 6 of
the Railroad Unemployment Insurance
Act (RUIA) the Railroad Retirement
Board (RRB) maintains for each railroad
employee, a record of compensation
paid to that employee by all railroad
employers for whom the employee
worked after 1936. This record, which is
used by the RRB to determine eligibility
for, and amount of, benefits due under
the laws it administers, is conclusive as
to the amount of compensation paid to
an employee during such period(s)
covered by the report(s) of the
compensation by the employee’s
railroad employer(s), except in cases
when an employee files a protest
pertaining to his or her reported
compensation within the statute of
limitations cited in Section 9 of the RRA
and Section 6 of the RUIA.
To enable the RRB to establish and
maintain the record of compensation,
employers are required to file with the
RRB, reports of their employees’
compensation, in such manner and form
and at such times as the RRB prescribes.
Railroad employers’ reports and
responsibilities are prescribed in 20 CFR
209. The RRB currently utilizes Form
BA–3, Annual Report of Creditable
Compensation, and Form BA–4, Report
of Creditable Compensation
Adjustments, to secure the required
information from railroad employers.
Form BA–3 provides the RRB with
information regarding annual creditable
service and compensation for each
individual who worked for a railroad
employer covered by the RRA and RUIA
in a given year. Form BA–4 provides for
the adjustment of any previously
submitted reports and also the
opportunity to provide any service and
compensation that had been previously
omitted. Requirements specific to Forms
BA–3 and BA–4 are prescribed in 20
CFR 209.8 and 209.9.
Employers currently have the option
of submitting BA–3 and BA–4 reports
electronically by CD–ROM, File
Transfer Protocol (FTP), secure Email,
or online via the RRB’s Employer
Reporting System (ERS).
The information collection also
includes RRB Form BA–12, Application
for Employer Reporting Internet Access,
and Form G–440, Report Specifications
Sheet. Form BA–12 is completed by
railroad employers to obtain system
PO 00000
Frm 00125
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
78505
access to ERS. Once access is obtained,
authorized employees may submit
reporting forms online to the RRB. The
form determines what degree of access
(view/only, data entry/modification or
approval/submission) is appropriate for
that employee. It is also used to
terminate an employee’s access to ERS.
Form G–440, Report Specifications
Sheet, serves as a certification document
for various RRB employer reporting
forms (Form BA–3, Form BA–4, Form
BA–6a, BA–6, Address Report (OMB
3220–0005), Form BA–9, Report of
Separation Allowance or Severance Pay
(OMB 3220–0173) and Form BA–11,
Report of Gross Earnings (OMB 3220–
0132)). It records the type of medium
the report was submitted on, and serves
as a summary recapitulation sheet for
reports filed on paper.
Previous Requests for Comments: The
RRB has already published the initial
60-day notice (79 FR 63652 on October
24, 2014) required by 44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2). On November 25, 2014, the
RRB received comments from the
Department of Commerce’s Bureau of
Economic Analysis (BEA), strongly
supporting the RRB’s continued
collection of the data on Forms BA–3
and BA–4 stating ‘‘these forms are our
main data source for key components of
BEA’s economic statistics.’’
Information Collection Request (ICR)
Title: Railroad Service and
Compensation Reports/System Access
Application.
OMB Control Number: 3220–0008.
Form(s) submitted: BA–3, BA–3
(Internet), BA–4, BA–4 (Internet), BA–
12 and G–440.
Type of request: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Affected public: Private Sector;
Businesses or other for-profits.
Abstract: Under the Railroad
Retirement Act and the Railroad
Unemployment Insurance Act,
employers are required to report service
and compensation for each employee to
update Railroad Retirement Board
records for payments of benefits. The
collection obtains service and
compensation information and
information needed to ensure secure
system access from employers who
voluntarily opt to use the RRB’s
Internet-based Employer Reporting
System to submit reporting forms and
information needed to certify employer
reporting transactions.
Changes proposed: The RRB proposes
to eliminate the paper version of Form
BA–3 and to make minor non-burden
impacting changes to Forms BA–12.
The burden estimate for the ICR is as
follows:
