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.
1. Title and purpose of information
collection: Medical Reports; OMB 3220–
0038. Under sections 2(a)(1)(iv) and
2(a)(1)(v) of the Railroad Retirement Act
(RRA), annuities are payable to qualified
railroad employees whose physical or
mental condition makes them unable to
(1) work in their regular occupation
(occupational disability) or (2) work at
all (total disability). The requirements
E:\FR\FM\05JYN1.SGM
05JYN1
43671
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 128 / Tuesday, July 5, 2016 / Notices
for establishing disability and proof of
continuing disability under the RRA are
prescribed in 20 CFR 220.
Annuities are also payable to (1)
qualified spouses and widow(ers) under
sections 2(c)(1)(ii)(C) and 2(d)(1)(ii) of
the RRA who have a qualifying child
who became disabled before age 22; (2)
surviving children on the basis of
disability under section 2(d)(1)(iii)(C), if
the child’s disability began before age
22; and (3) widow(er)s on the basis of
disability under section 2(d)(1)(i)(B). To
meet the disability standard, the RRA
provides that individuals must have a
permanent physical or mental condition
that makes them unable to engage in any
regular employment.
Under section 2(d)(1)(v) of the RRA,
annuities are also payable to remarried
widow(er)s and surviving divorced
spouses on the basis of, among other
things, disability or having a qualifying
disabled child in care. However, the
disability standard in these cases is that
found in the Social Security Act. That
is, individuals must be unable to engage
in any substantial gainful activity by
reason of any medically determinable
physical or mental impairment. The
RRB also determines entitlement to a
Period of Disability and entitlement to
early Medicare based on disability for
qualified claimants in accordance with
Section 216 of the Social Security Act.
When making disability
determinations, the RRB needs evidence
from acceptable medical sources. The
RRB currently utilizes Forms G–3EMP,
Report of Medical Condition by
Employer; G–197, Authorization to
Disclose Information to the Railroad
Retirement Board; G–250, Medical
Assessment; G–250A, Medical
Assessment of Residual Functional
Capacity; G–260, Report of Seizure
Disorder; RL–11B, Disclosure of
Hospital Medical Records; RL–11D,
Disclosure of Medical Records from a
State Agency; and RL–250, Request for
Medical Assessment, to obtain the
necessary medical evidence. The RRB
proposes no revisions to these forms.
In support of the RRB’s Disability
Program Improvement Project to
enhance/improve disability case
processing and overall program
integrity, the RRB proposes the addition
of proposed Form RL–11D1, Request for
Medical Evidence from Employers, to
the information collection. Form RL–
11D1 will be mailed by an RRB field
office to railroad and nonrailroad
employers to obtain any medical
evidence regarding the employee’s
disability that they may have acquired
within the last 18 months. A copy of the
employee signed Form G–197 will be
enclosed with the RL–11D1. The
employer will return the RL–11D1 to
RRB Headquarters certifying that they
either have submitted the requested
medical evidence or that they have no
medical evidence to submit. One
response is requested of each
respondent. Completion is voluntary.

comment.
ACTION:
With this notice, The U.S.
Global Change Research Program
(USGCRP) seeks public comment on the
proposed content and scope of the
Fourth National Climate Assessment
(NCA4) as indicated by the draft outline
presented here. A Request for
Information in 2015 sought public input
on the sustained National Climate
Assessment (NCA) process more
generally (80 FR 26105, https://
federalregister.gov/a/2015-10352). The
outline for NCA4 is informed by that
previously received public input.
General topics on which public
comment is requested, in addition to the
SUMMARY:

proposed outline, include: (1) Ways to
make the assessment information
accessible and useful to multiple
audiences; (2) the specific types of
detailed information at regional scales
that would be most useful; (3)

well as natural and social systems; (4)
suggestions for new approaches to
topics addressed in previous
assessments; and (5) suggestions
regarding overarching themes that
NCA4 should consider addressing.
A call for author nominations and

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.
1. Title and purpose of information collection: Medical Reports;
OMB 3220-0038. Under sections 2(a)(1)(iv) and 2(a)(1)(v) of the
Railroad Retirement Act (RRA), annuities are payable to qualified
railroad employees whose physical or mental condition makes them unable
to (1) work in their regular occupation (occupational disability) or
(2) work at all (total disability). The requirements
[[Page 43671]]
for establishing disability and proof of continuing disability under
the RRA are prescribed in 20 CFR 220.
Annuities are also payable to (1) qualified spouses and widow(ers)
under sections 2(c)(1)(ii)(C) and 2(d)(1)(ii) of the RRA who have a
qualifying child who became disabled before age 22; (2) surviving
children on the basis of disability under section 2(d)(1)(iii)(C), if
the child's disability began before age 22; and (3) widow(er)s on the
basis of disability under section 2(d)(1)(i)(B). To meet the disability
standard, the RRA provides that individuals must have a permanent
physical or mental condition that makes them unable to engage in any
regular employment.
Under section 2(d)(1)(v) of the RRA, annuities are also payable to
remarried widow(er)s and surviving divorced spouses on the basis of,
among other things, disability or having a qualifying disabled child in
care. However, the disability standard in these cases is that found in
the Social Security Act. That is, individuals must be unable to engage
in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically
determinable physical or mental impairment. The RRB also determines
entitlement to a Period of Disability and entitlement to early Medicare
based on disability for qualified claimants in accordance with Section
216 of the Social Security Act.
When making disability determinations, the RRB needs evidence from
acceptable medical sources. The RRB currently utilizes Forms G-3EMP,
Report of Medical Condition by Employer; G-197, Authorization to
Disclose Information to the Railroad Retirement Board; G-250, Medical
Assessment; G-250A, Medical Assessment of Residual Functional Capacity;
G-260, Report of Seizure Disorder; RL-11B, Disclosure of Hospital
Medical Records; RL-11D, Disclosure of Medical Records from a State
Agency; and RL-250, Request for Medical Assessment, to obtain the
necessary medical evidence. The RRB proposes no revisions to these
forms.
In support of the RRB's Disability Program Improvement Project to
enhance/improve disability case processing and overall program
integrity, the RRB proposes the addition of proposed Form RL-11D1,
Request for Medical Evidence from Employers, to the information
collection. Form RL-11D1 will be mailed by an RRB field office to
railroad and nonrailroad employers to obtain any medical evidence
regarding the employee's disability that they may have acquired within
the last 18 months. A copy of the employee signed Form G-197 will be
enclosed with the RL-11D1. The employer will return the RL-11D1 to RRB
Headquarters certifying that they either have submitted the requested
medical evidence or that they have no medical evidence to submit. One
response is requested of each respondent. Completion is voluntary.
