RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD
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.
Title and purpose of information
collection: Railroad Separation
Allowance or Severance Pay Report;
OMB 3220–0173.
Section 6 of the Railroad Retirement
Act provides for a lump-sum payment to
an employee or the employee’s
survivors equal to the Tier II taxes paid
by the employee on a separation
allowance or severance payment for
which the employee did not receive
credits toward retirement. The lumpsum is not payable until retirement
benefits begin to accrue or the employee
dies. Also, Section 4 (a–1)(iii) of the
Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act
provides that a railroad employee who
is paid a separation allowance is
disqualified for unemployment and
sickness benefits for the period of time
the employee would have to work to
earn the amount of the allowance. The
reporting requirements are specified in
20 CFR 209.14.
In order to calculate and provide
payments, the Railroad Retirement
Board (RRB) must collect and maintain
records of separation allowances and
severance payments which were subject
to Tier II taxation from railroad
employers. The RRB uses Form BA–9,
Report of Separation Allowance or
Severance Pay, to obtain information
from railroad employers concerning the
separation allowances and severance
payments made to railroad employees
and/or the survivors of railroad
employees. Employers currently have
the option of submitting their reports on
paper Form BA–9, (or in like format) on
a CD–ROM disk, or by File Transfer
Protocol (FTP), or secure Email.
Completion is mandatory. One response
is requested of each respondent. The
RRB proposes the implementation of an
Internet equivalent version of Form BA–
9 that can be submitted through the
RRB’s Employer Reporting System
(ERS). No other changes are proposed.
