ACTION: 30-Day notice and request for comments. AGENCY: The Federal Investigative Services (FIS), U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is notifying the general public and other Federal agencies that OPM is seeking Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval of a renewal information collection, control number 3206–0259, Freedom of Information/Privacy Act Record Request Form, INV 100. As required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, (Pub. L. 104–13, 44 U.S.C. chapter 35), as amended by the ClingerCohen Act (Pub. L. 104–106), OPM is providing an additional 30 days for public comments. OPM previously solicited comments for this collection, with a 60-day public comment period, at 81 FR 2923 (January 19, 2016). DATES: Comments are encouraged and will be accepted until May 31, 2016. This process is conducted in accordance with 5 CFR 1320.10. asabaliauskas on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:31 Apr 28, 2016 Jkt 238001 Interested persons are invited to submit written comments on the proposed information collection to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management Budget, 725 17th Street NW., Washington, DC 20503, Attention: Desk Officer for the Office of Personnel Management or sent via electronic mail to oira_submission@ omb.eop.gov or faxed to (202) 395–6974. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: A copy of this information collection, with applicable supporting documentation, may be obtained by contacting Federal Investigative Services, U.S. Office of Personnel Management, 1900 E Street NW., Washington, DC 20415, Attention: Donna McLeod or by electronic mail at FISFormsComments@opm.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice announces that OPM has submitted to OMB a request for review and clearance of a revised information collection, control number 3206–0259, Freedom of Information/Privacy Act Record Request Form, INV 100. The public has an additional 30-day opportunity to comment. The Freedom of Information/Privacy Act Record Request Form, INV 100, is an information collection completed by individuals submitting Freedom of Information (FOIA), Privacy Act, and Amendment record requests to OPM’s Federal Investigative Services (FIS), Freedom of Information and Privacy Act (FOI/PA) office. OPM’s FIS–FOI/PA office utilizes the optional form INV 100 to standardize collection of data elements specific to the types of record requests. Current record requests can be submitted to FIS–FOI/PA in a format chosen by the requester. Often, requests are missing data elements which require contact with the requester, thereby adding time to the process. Standardization of the process will increase the volume of perfected requests received and strike an appropriate balance between the burden to the public in submitting a request and FIS–FOI/PA being able to fulfill FOIA, Privacy Act, and Amendment requests in an efficient manner. The 60-day Federal Register Notice was published on January 12, 2016 (81 FR 2923). One comment was received from an individual from the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA). DoDEA commented that all individuals and organizations should have a clear, simple process in place that allows them to request and obtain, or amend information when required. OPM already offers clear guidance in this matter on the INV 100. OPM considers this comment to be outside the scope of this collection.

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.

The Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) occupational disability standards allow the RRB to request job information from railroad employers to determine an applicant’s eligibility for an occupational disability. To determine an occupational disability, the RRB must obtain the employee’s work history and establish if the employee is precluded from performing his or her regular railroad occupation. This is accomplished by comparing the restrictions caused by the impairment(s) against the employee’s ability to perform his or her job duties.

When an employee files an application for an occupational disability, the RRB currently releases either Form G–251a, Employer Job Information, along with a generic position description for their current railroad job or Form G–251b, Employer Job Information, (when no generic position description is available) to their employer requesting pertinent job duty information. The employer is given thirty days from the date the forms are released to respond. If the job information is received timely, it is compared to the job information provided by the employee on the G–251, reconciled (if needed), and then used to compare to the restrictions caused by the medical impairment. If the restrictions prohibit the performance of the regular railroad occupation, the claimant is found occupationally disabled. Completion of Form G–251a and G–251b is voluntary. Extensive changes are proposed to the current information collection process in support of the RRB’s Disability Program Improvement Project to enhance/improve disability case processing and overall program integrity as recommended by the RRB’s Office of Inspector General and the Government Accountability Office. The RRB proposes to obsolete current Forms G–251a and G–251b, which request a narrative response and replace them with the implementation of a new version of Form G–251a, which will utilize a combined narrative/structured question and answer format. Proposed Form G–251a will request railroad employers to provide information regarding whether the employee has been medically disqualified from their railroad occupation; a summary of the employee’s duties; the machinery, tools and equipment used by the employee; the environmental conditions under which the employee performs their duties; all sensory requirements (vision, hearing, speech) needed to perform the employee’s duties; the physical actions and amount of time (frequency) allotted for those actions that may be required by the employee to perform their duties during a typical work day; any permanent working accommodations an employer may have made due to the employee’s disability; as well as any other relevant information they may choose to include.

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: Job Information 
Report, OMB 3220-0193. The Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) occupational 
disability standards allow the RRB to request job information from 
railroad employers to determine an applicant's eligibility for an 
occupational disability.
    To determine an occupational disability, the RRB must obtain the 
employee's work history and establish if the employee is precluded from 
performing his or her regular railroad occupation. This is accomplished 
by comparing the restrictions caused by the impairment(s) against the 
employee's ability to perform his or her job duties.
    To collect the information needed to determine the effect of a 
disability on an

[[Page 25725]]

employee applicant's ability to work, the RRB utilizes Form G-251, 
Vocational Report (OMB 3220-0141) which is completed by the applicant. 
When an employee files an application for an occupational disability, 
the RRB currently releases either Form G-251a, Employer Job 
Information, along with a generic position description for their 
current railroad job or Form G-251b, Employer Job Information, (when no 
generic position description is available) to their employer requesting 
pertinent job duty information. The employer is given thirty days from 
the date the forms are released to respond. If the job information is 
received timely, it is compared to the job information provided by the 
employee on the G-251, reconciled (if needed), and then used to compare 
to the restrictions caused by the medical impairment. If the 
restrictions prohibit the performance of the regular railroad 
occupation, the claimant is found occupationally disabled. Completion 
of Form G-251a and G-251b is voluntary.
    Extensive changes are proposed to the current information 
collection process in support of the RRB's Disability Program 
Improvement Project to enhance/improve disability case processing and 
overall program integrity as recommended by the RRB's Office of 
Inspector General and the Government Accountability Office.
    The RRB proposes to obsolete current Forms G-251a and G-251b, which 
request a narrative response and replace them with the implementation 
of a new version of Form G-251a, which will utilize a combined 
narrative/structured question and answer format.
    Proposed Form G-251a will request railroad employers to provide 
information regarding whether the employee has been medically 
disqualified from their railroad occupation; a summary of the 
employee's duties; the machinery, tools and equipment used by the 
employee; the environmental conditions under which the employee 
performs their duties; all sensory requirements (vision, hearing, 
speech) needed to perform the employee's duties; the physical actions 
and amount of time (frequency) allotted for those actions that may be 
required by the employee to perform their duties during a typical work 
day; any permanent working accommodations an employer may have made due 
to the employee's disability; as well as any other relevant information 
they may choose to include. Completion is voluntary.
