RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD
Proposed Collection; Comment
Request
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
SUMMARY:
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.
Title and purpose of information
collection: Continuing Disability Report;
OMB 3220–0187. Under Section 2 of the
Railroad Retirement Act, an annuity is
not payable or is reduced for any month
in which the annuitant works for a
railroad or earns more than prescribed
dollar amounts from either non-railroad
employment or self-employment.
Certain types of work may indicate an
annuitant’s recovery from disability.
The provisions relating to the reduction
or non-payment of an annuity by reason
of work, and an annuitant’s recovery
from disability for work, are prescribed
in 20 CFR 220.17–220.20. The RRB
conducts continuing disability reviews
(CDR) to determine whether an
annuitant continues to meet the
disability requirements of the law.
Provisions relating to when and how
often the RRB conducts CDR’s are
prescribed in 20 CFR 220.186.
Form G–254, Continuing Disability
Report, is used by the RRB to develop
information for a CDR determination,
including a determination prompted by
a report of work, return to railroad
service, allegation of medical
improvement, or a routine disability
review call-up. The RRB proposes the
following changes:

• Revise current Item 8 to ask for the
response in month and year format
since the form may cover multiple
years.
• Revise current Item 12a to include
the spouse as a source of employment.
• Revise current Item 15k to show the
impact the disability has had on their
business by asking if the annuitant has
had to reduce or restrict the number of
their clients or customers.
• Revise current Items 17a and 17b to
include asking if the annuitant has
made supervisory (as well as
managerial) decisions.
• Renumber current Item 31 to Item
31a.
• Create New Item 31b, using a Yes/
No format, to identify the annuitant who
requires an assistive device such as a
cane, oxygen, etc.
• Create New Item 31c to identify the
assistive device(s).
• Other minor editorial changes.
Form G–254a, Continuing Disability
Update Report, is used to help identify
a disability annuitant whose work
activity and/or recent medical history
warrants completion of Form G–254 for
a more extensive review. The RRB
proposes adding a request for the social
security number of the applicant who is
not the employee to resolve any
ambiguous issues.
Completion is required to retain a
benefit. One response is requested of
each respondent to Forms G–254 and G–
254a.
