comments, it is best if the RRB and
OIRA receive them within 30 days of
the publication date.
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. 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. Completion is
required to retain a benefit. One
response is requested of each
respondent to Forms G–254 and
G–254a.
Previous Requests for Comments: The
RRB has already published the initial
60-day notice (80 FR 13921 on March
17, 2015) required by 44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2). That request elicited no
comments.
Information Collection Request (ICR)
Title: Continuing Disability Report.
OMB Control Number: 3220–0187.
Forms submitted: G–254 and G–254a.
Type of request: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Affected public: Individuals or
Households.
Abstract: Under the Railroad
Retirement Act, a disability annuity can
be reduced or not paid, depending on
the amount of earnings and type of work
performed. The collection obtains
information about a disabled annuitant’s
employment and earnings.
Changes proposed: The RRB proposes
the following changes to Form G–254:
• Revise current Item 12a to include
the spouse as a source of employment.
• Revise current Items 15k, 17a, and
17b to show the impact the disability
has had on their business and decision
making abilities.
• Renumber current Item 31 to Item
31a and create New Items 31b and c to
identify the annuitant who requires an
assistive device and to identify the
assistive device, such as a cane, oxygen,
etc.
• Other minor editorial changes.
The RRB also proposes the following
change to Form G–254A:
• Add a request for the social security
number of the applicant who is not the
employee to resolve any ambiguous
issues.
The burden estimate for the ICR is as

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: Employee’s Certification;
OMB 3220–0140 Section 2 of the
Railroad Retirement Act (RRA),
provides for the payment of an annuity
to the spouse or divorced spouse of a
retired railroad employee. For the
spouse or divorced spouse to qualify for
an annuity, the RRB must determine if
any of the employee’s current marriage
to the applicant is valid.
PO 00000
Frm 00114
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
The requirements for obtaining
documentary evidence to determine
valid marital relationships are
prescribed in 20 CFR 219.30 through
219.35. Section 2(e) of the RRA requires
that an employee must relinquish all
rights to any railroad employer service
before a spouse annuity can be paid.
The RRB uses Form G–346,
Employee’s Certification, to obtain the
information needed to determine
whether the employee’s current
marriage is valid. Form G–346 is
completed by the retired employee who
is the husband or wife of the applicant
for a spouse annuity. Completion is
required to obtain a benefit. One
response is requested of each
respondent. The RRB proposes no
changes to Form G–346.
Form G–346sum, Employee
Certification Summary, which mirrors
the information collected on Form G–
346, is used when an employee, after
being interviewed by an RRB field office
staff member ‘‘signs’’ the form using an
alternative signature method known as
‘‘attestation.’’ Attestation refers to the
action taken by the RRB field office
employee to confirm and annotate the
