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
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.
Title and purpose of information
collection: Application for Employee
Annuity Under the Railroad Retirement
Act; OMB 3220–0002.
Section 2a of the Railroad Retirement
Act (RRA) provides for payments of age
and service, disability, and
supplemental annuities to qualified
employees. An annuity cannot be paid
until the employee stops working for a
railroad employer. In addition, the age
and service employee must relinquish
any rights held to such jobs. A disabled
employee does not need to relinquish
employee rights until attaining Full
Retirement Age, or if earlier, when their
spouse is awarded a spouse annuity.
Benefits become payable after the
employee meets certain other
E:\FR\FM\29SEN1.SGM
29SEN1
67016
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 189 / Thursday, September 29, 2016 / Notices
requirements, which depend on the type
of annuity payable. The requirements
for obtaining the annuities are
prescribed in 20 CFR 216 and 220.
To collect the information needed to
help determine an applicant’s
entitlement to, and the amount of, an
employee retirement annuity the RRB
uses Forms AA–1, Application for
Employee Annuity; AA–1d, Application
for Determination of Employee
Disability; G–204, Verification of
Workers Compensation/Public
Disability Benefit Information, and
electronic Forms AA–1cert, Application
Summary and Certification, and AA–
1sum, Application Summary.
The AA–1 application process obtains
information from an applicant about
their marital history, work history,
military service, benefits from other
governmental agencies, railroad
pensions and Medicare entitlement for
either an age and service or disability
annuity. An RRB representative
interviews the applicant either at a field
office, an itinerant point, or by
telephone. During the interview, the
RRB representative enters the
information obtained into an on-line
information system. Upon completion of
the interview, the on-line information
system generates Form AA–1cert,
Application Summary and Certification,
or Form AA–1sum, Application
Summary, a summary of the information
that was provided for the applicant to
review and approve. Form AA–1cert
documents approval using the
traditional pen and ink ‘‘wet’’ signature,
and Form AA–1sum documents
approval using the alternative signature
method called Attestation. When the
RRB representative is unable to contact
the applicant in person or by telephone,
for example, the applicant lives in
another country, a manual version of
Form AA–1 is used.
Form AA–1d, Application for
Determination of Employee’s Disability,
is completed by an employee who is
filing for a disability annuity under the
RRA, or a disability freeze under the
Social Security Act for early Medicare
based on a disability. Form G–204,
Verification of Worker’s Compensation/
Public Disability Benefit Information, is
used to obtain and verify information
concerning a worker’s compensation or
a public disability benefit that is or will
be paid by a public agency to a disabled
railroad employee.
One response is requested of each
respondent. Completion of the forms is
required to obtain/retain a benefit.
Previous Requests for Comments: The
RRB has already published the initial
60-day notice (81 FR 47183 on July 20,
2016) required by 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2).
That request elicited no comments.
Title: Application for Employee
Annuity Under the Railroad Retirement
Act.
OMB Control Number: 3220–0002.
Form(s) submitted: AA–1, AA–1cert,
AA–1d, AA–1sum and G–204.
Type of request: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Affected public: Individuals or
Households.
Abstract: The Railroad Retirement Act
provides for payment of age, disability
and supplemental annuities to qualified
employees. The application and related
forms obtain information about the
applicant’s family work history, military
service, disability benefits from other
government agencies and public or
private pensions. The information is
used to determine entitlement to and
the amount of the annuity applied for.
Changes proposed: The RRB proposes
the following changes to Forms AA–1
and AA–1d:
• Deletion of Item 35a-d from Form
AA–1, regarding the relinquishment of
seniority rights;
• the relocation of current Items 52–
53 from Form AA–1d to proposed Items
48a-b on Form AA–1, regarding whether
an applicant had filed or expected to file
a lawsuit or claim against a person or
company for a personal injury that
resulted in the payment of sickness
benefits by the RRB, as the potential for
uncollected sickness benefits can apply
to both a disability applicant as well as
an applicant qualified for an age and
service annuity.
• Comparable revisions to electronic
equivalent forms (AA–1cert and AA–
1sum) are also being proposed.
No other changes are proposed.

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 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.
Title and purpose of information collection: Application for
Employee Annuity Under the Railroad Retirement Act; OMB 3220-0002.
Section 2a of the Railroad Retirement Act (RRA) provides for
payments of age and service, disability, and supplemental annuities to
qualified employees. An annuity cannot be paid until the employee stops
working for a railroad employer. In addition, the age and service
employee must relinquish any rights held to such jobs. A disabled
employee does not need to relinquish employee rights until attaining
Full Retirement Age, or if earlier, when their spouse is awarded a
spouse annuity. Benefits become payable after the employee meets
certain other
[[Page 67016]]
requirements, which depend on the type of annuity payable. The
requirements for obtaining the annuities are prescribed in 20 CFR 216
and 220.
To collect the information needed to help determine an applicant's
entitlement to, and the amount of, an employee retirement annuity the
RRB uses Forms AA-1, Application for Employee Annuity; AA-1d,
Application for Determination of Employee Disability; G-204,
Verification of Workers Compensation/Public Disability Benefit
Information, and electronic Forms AA-1cert, Application Summary and
Certification, and AA-1sum, Application Summary.
The AA-1 application process obtains information from an applicant
about their marital history, work history, military service, benefits
from other governmental agencies, railroad pensions and Medicare
entitlement for either an age and service or disability annuity. An RRB
representative interviews the applicant either at a field office, an
itinerant point, or by telephone. During the interview, the RRB
representative enters the information obtained into an on-line
information system. Upon completion of the interview, the on-line
information system generates Form AA-1cert, Application Summary and
Certification, or Form AA-1sum, Application Summary, a summary of the
information that was provided for the applicant to review and approve.
Form AA-1cert documents approval using the traditional pen and ink
``wet'' signature, and Form AA-1sum documents approval using the
alternative signature method called Attestation. When the RRB
representative is unable to contact the applicant in person or by
telephone, for example, the applicant lives in another country, a
manual version of Form AA-1 is used.
Form AA-1d, Application for Determination of Employee's Disability,
is completed by an employee who is filing for a disability annuity
under the RRA, or a disability freeze under the Social Security Act for
early Medicare based on a disability. Form G-204, Verification of
Worker's Compensation/Public Disability Benefit Information, is used to
obtain and verify information concerning a worker's compensation or a
public disability benefit that is or will be paid by a public agency to
a disabled railroad employee.
One response is requested of each respondent. Completion of the
forms is required to obtain/retain a benefit.
Previous Requests for Comments: The RRB has already published the
initial 60-day notice (81 FR 47183 on July 20, 2016) required by 44
U.S.C. 3506(c)(2). That request elicited no comments.
