Retirement Board (RRB) needs to know
a nonresident’s citizenship and legal
residence status.
To secure the required information,
the RRB utilizes Form RRB–1001,
Nonresident Questionnaire, as a
supplement to an application as part of
the initial application process, and as an
independent vehicle for obtaining the
needed information when an
annuitant’s residence or tax treaty status
changes. Completion is voluntary. One
response is requested of each
respondent.
Previous Requests for Comments: The
RRB has already published the initial
60-day notice (80 FR 36862 on June 26,
2015) required by 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2).
That request elicited no comments.

Households.
Abstract: Under the Railroad
Retirement Act, the benefits payable to
an annuitant living outside the United
States may be subject to withholding
under Public Laws 98–21 and 98–76.
The form obtains the information
needed to determine the amount to be
withheld.

To support an application for an
annuity under Section 2 of the Railroad
Retirement Act (RRA) or for
unemployment benefits under Section 2
of the Railroad Unemployment
Insurance Act (RUIA), pertinent
information and proofs must be
furnished for the RRB to determine
benefit entitlement. Circumstances may
require an applicant or other person(s)
having knowledge of facts relevant to
the applicant’s eligibility for an annuity
or benefits to provide written statements
supplementing or changing statements
previously provided by the applicant.
Under the railroad retirement program
these statements may relate to a change
in an annuity beginning date(s), date of
marriage(s), birth(s), prior railroad or
non-railroad employment, an
applicant’s request for reconsideration
of an unfavorable RRB eligibility
determination for an annuity or various
other matters. The statements may also
be used by the RRB to secure a variety
of information needed to determine
eligibility to unemployment and
sickness benefits. Procedures related to
providing information needed for RRA
annuity or RUIA benefit eligibility
determinations are prescribed in 20 CFR
parts 217 and 320 respectively.
The RRB utilizes Form G–93,
Statement of Claimant or Other Person,
to obtain from applicants or other
persons, the supplemental or corrective
information needed to determine
applicant eligibility for an RRA annuity
or RUIA benefits. Completion is
voluntary. One response is requested of
each respondent.
Previous Requests for Comments: The
RRB has already published the initial
60-day notice (80 FR 36862 on June 26,
2015) required by 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2).
That request elicited no comments.

Households.
Abstract: Under Section 2 of the
Railroad Retirement Act and the

pertinent information and proofs must
be submitted by an applicant so that the
Railroad Retirement Board can
determine his or her entitlement to
benefits. The collection obtains
information supplementing or changing
information previously provided by an
applicant.

RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD
Agency Forms Submitted for OMB
Review, Request for Comments
In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. Chapter 35), the Railroad
Retirement Board (RRB) is forwarding
an Information Collection Request (ICR)
to the Office of Information and
SUMMARY:

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 collection of information to
determine (1) the practical utility of the
collection; (2) the accuracy of the
estimated burden of the collection; (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.
Under Section 6 of the Railroad
Retirement Act (RRA), lump-sum death
benefits are payable to surviving
widow(er)s, children, and certain other
dependents. Lump-sum death benefits
are payable after the death of a railroad
employee only if there are no qualified
survivors of the employee immediately
eligible for annuities. With the
exception of the residual death benefit,
eligibility for survivor benefits depends
on whether the deceased employee was
‘‘insured’’ under the RRA at the time of
death. If the deceased employee was not
insured, jurisdiction of any survivor
benefits payable is transferred to the
Social Security Administration and
survivor benefits are paid by that agency
instead of the RRB. The requirements
for applying for benefits are prescribed
in 20 CFR 217, 219, and 234.
The collection obtains the information
required by the RRB to determine
entitlement to and amount of the
survivor death benefits applied for. To
collect the information, the RRB uses
Forms AA–11a, Designation for Change
of Beneficiary for Residual Lump-Sum;
AA–21, Application for Lump-Sum
Death Payment and Annuities Unpaid
at Death; AA–21cert, Application
Summary and Certification; G–131,
Authorization of Payment and Release
of All Claims to a Death Benefit or
Accrued Annuity Payment; and G–273a,
Funeral Director’s Statement of Burial
Charges. One response is requested of
each respondent. Completion is
required to obtain benefits.
Previous Requests for Comments: The
RRB has already published the initial
60-day notice (80 FR 44402 on July 27,
2015) required by 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2).
That request elicited no comments.

Benefits.
OMB Control Number: 3220–0031.
Form(s) submitted: AA–11a, AA–
21cert, AA–21, G–131, G–273a.
Type of request: Revision of an

Affected public: Individuals or
Households.
Abstract: The collection obtains the
information needed to pay death
benefits and annuities due but unpaid at
death under the Railroad Retirement
Act. Benefits are paid to designated
beneficiaries or to survivors in a priority
designated law.
Changes proposed: The RRB proposes
the following changes to the forms in
the information collection:
• Form AA–11a—Remove from the
information collection due to less than
10 responses a year.
• Form AA–21—Add clarifying
language to better define who qualifies
for a child’s annuity and other minor
editorial changes.
• Form G–131—For clarity, add an
Instructions section and space for the
RRB to enter the applicant’s name and
the waived share amount.
• Form G–273a—Add clarifying
language to Item 2, regarding the total
amount of charges the funeral home
should enter; and what the funeral
home should list as types of payments
received or expected to be received to
Item 3.

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 forwarding
an Information Collection Request (ICR) to the Office of Information
and
[[Page 58527]]
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 collection of information
to determine (1) the practical utility of the collection; (2) the
accuracy of the estimated burden of the collection; (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.
Under Section 6 of the Railroad Retirement Act (RRA), lump-sum
death benefits are payable to surviving widow(er)s, children, and
certain other dependents. Lump-sum death benefits are payable after the
death of a railroad employee only if there are no qualified survivors
of the employee immediately eligible for annuities. With the exception
of the residual death benefit, eligibility for survivor benefits
depends on whether the deceased employee was ``insured'' under the RRA
at the time of death. If the deceased employee was not insured,
jurisdiction of any survivor benefits payable is transferred to the
Social Security Administration and survivor benefits are paid by that
agency instead of the RRB. The requirements for applying for benefits
are prescribed in 20 CFR 217, 219, and 234.
The collection obtains the information required by the RRB to
determine entitlement to and amount of the survivor death benefits
