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: Supplemental Information on
Accident and Insurance; OMB 3220–
0036.
Under Section 12(o) of the Railroad
Unemployment Insurance Act (RUIA),
the Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) is
entitled to reimbursement of the
sickness benefits paid to a railroad
employee if the employee receives a
sum or damages for the same infirmity
for which the benefits are paid. Section
2(f) of the RUIA requires employers to
reimburse the RRB for days in which
salary, wages, pay for time lost or other
remuneration is later determined to be
payable. Reimbursements under section
2(f) generally result from the award of
pay for time lost or the payment of
guaranteed wages. The RUIA prescribes
that the amount of benefits paid be
deducted and held by the employer in
a special fund for reimbursement to the
RRB.
The RRB currently utilizes Forms SI–
1c, Supplemental Information on
Accident and Insurance; SI–5, Report of
Payments to Employee Claiming
Sickness Benefits Under the RUIA; ID–
3s and ID–3s (Internet), Request for Lien
Information—Report of Settlement; ID–
3s–1, Lien Information Under Section
12(o) of the RUIA; ID–3u and ID–3u
(Internet), Request for Section 2(f)
Information; ID–30k, Notice to Request
Supplemental Information on Injury or
Illness; and ID–30k–1, Notice to Request
Supplemental Information on Injury or
Illness; to obtain the necessary
information from claimants and railroad
employers. Completion is required to
obtain benefits. One response is
requested of each respondent. The RRB
proposes no changes to the forms in the
collection.

2. Title and purpose of information
collection: Pension Plan Reports; OMB
3220–0089.
Under Section 2(b) of the Railroad
Retirement Act (RRA), the Railroad
Retirement Board (RRB) pays
supplemental annuities to qualified RRB
employee annuitants. A supplemental
annuity, which is computed according
to Section 3(e) of the RRA, can be paid
at age 60 if the employee has at least 30
years of creditable railroad service or at
age 65 if the employee has 25–29 years
of railroad service. In addition to 25
years of service, a ‘‘current connection’’
with the railroad industry is required.
Eligibility is further limited to
employees who had at least 1 month of
rail service before October 1981 and
were awarded regular annuities after
June 1966. Further, if an employee’s
65th birthday was prior to September 2,
1981, he or she must not have worked
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 241001
in rail service after certain closing dates
(generally the last day of the month
following the month in which age 65 is
attained). Under Section 2(h)(2) of the
RRA, the amount of the supplemental
annuity is reduced if the employee
receives monthly pension payments, or
a lump-sum pension payment from a
private pension from a railroad
employer, to the extent the payments
are based on contributions from that
employer. The employee’s own
contribution to their pension account
does not cause a reduction. A private
railroad employer pension is defined in
20 CFR 216.42.
The RRB requires the following
information from railroad employers to
calculate supplemental annuities: (a)
The current status of railroad employer
pension plans and whether such plans
cause reductions to the supplemental
annuity; (b) whether the employee
PO 00000
Frm 00070

receives monthly payments from a
private railroad employer pension,
elected to receive a lump sum in lieu of
monthly pension payments from such a
plan, or was required to receive a lump
sum from such a plan due to the plan’s
small benefit provision; and (c) the
amount of the payments attributable to
the railroad employer’s contributions.
The requirement that railroad employers
furnish pension information to the RRB
is contained in 20 CFR 209.2.
The RRB currently utilizes Form G–
88p and G–88p (Internet), Employer’s
Supplemental Pension Report, and
Form G–88r, Request for Information
About New or Revised Employer
Pension Plan, to obtain the necessary
information from railroad employers.
One response is requested of each
respondent. Completion is mandatory.
The RRB proposes to revise Forms G–
88p and G–88p (Internet) to acquire

05JYN1
31109

more accurate employee pension
information by asking the employer
whether the employee is currently
eligible for a pension and instructing the
employer to indicate whether the
employee filed for the pension or
instead elected to defer distribution
from the pension account in Items 11a
and 11b (paper) and Items 10a and 10b
(Internet). The RRB also proposes to
make other editorial changes. The RRB
proposes no changes to Form G–88r.

collection: Statement Regarding

Under Section 2 of the Railroad
Retirement Act, dependency on an
employee for one-half support at the
time of the employee’s death can affect
(1) entitlement to a survivor annuity
when the survivor is a parent of the
widow(er). The Railroad Retirement
Board (RRB) utilizes Form G–134,
Statement Regarding Contributions and
Support, to secure information needed
to adequately determine if the applicant
meets the one-half support requirement.
One response is completed by each
respondent. Completion is required to
obtain benefits. The RRB proposes no
changes to Form G–134.

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: Supplemental
Information on Accident and Insurance; OMB 3220-0036.
Under Section 12(o) of the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act
(RUIA), the Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) is entitled to
reimbursement of the sickness benefits paid to a railroad employee if
the employee receives a sum or damages for the same infirmity for which
the benefits are paid. Section 2(f) of the RUIA requires employers to
reimburse the RRB for days in which salary, wages, pay for time lost or

2. Title and purpose of information collection: Pension Plan
Reports; OMB 3220-0089.
Under Section 2(b) of the Railroad Retirement Act (RRA), the
Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) pays supplemental annuities to
qualified RRB employee annuitants. A supplemental annuity, which is
computed according to Section 3(e) of the RRA, can be paid at age 60 if
the employee has at least 30 years of creditable railroad service or at
age 65 if the employee has 25-29 years of railroad service. In addition
to 25 years of service, a ``current connection'' with the railroad
industry is required. Eligibility is further limited to employees who
had at least 1 month of rail service before October 1981 and were
awarded regular annuities after June 1966. Further, if an employee's
65th birthday was prior to September 2, 1981, he or she must not have
worked in rail service after certain closing dates (generally the last
day of the month following the month in which age 65 is attained).
Under Section 2(h)(2) of the RRA, the amount of the supplemental
annuity is reduced if the employee receives monthly pension payments,
or a lump-sum pension payment from a private pension from a railroad
employer, to the extent the payments are based on contributions from
that employer. The employee's own contribution to their pension account
does not cause a reduction. A private railroad employer pension is
defined in 20 CFR 216.42.
The RRB requires the following information from railroad employers
to calculate supplemental annuities: (a) The current status of railroad
employer pension plans and whether such plans cause reductions to the
supplemental annuity; (b) whether the employee receives monthly
payments from a private railroad employer pension, elected to receive a
lump sum in lieu of monthly pension payments from such a plan, or was
required to receive a lump sum from such a plan due to the plan's small
benefit provision; and (c) the amount of the payments attributable to
the railroad employer's contributions. The requirement that railroad
employers furnish pension information to the RRB is contained in 20 CFR
209.2.
The RRB currently utilizes Form G-88p and G-88p (Internet),
Employer's Supplemental Pension Report, and Form G-88r, Request for
Information About New or Revised Employer Pension Plan, to obtain the
necessary information from railroad employers. One response is
requested of each respondent. Completion is mandatory.
The RRB proposes to revise Forms G-88p and G-88p (Internet) to
acquire
[[Page 31109]]
more accurate employee pension information by asking the employer
whether the employee is currently eligible for a pension and
instructing the employer to indicate whether the employee filed for the
pension or instead elected to defer distribution from the pension
account in Items 11a and 11b (paper) and Items 10a and 10b (Internet).
The RRB also proposes to make other editorial changes. The RRB proposes
no changes to Form G-88r.

Under Section 2 of the Railroad Retirement Act, dependency on an
employee for one-half support at the time of the employee's death can
affect (1) entitlement to a survivor annuity when the survivor is a
parent of the deceased employee; (2) the amount of spouse and survivor
annuities; and (3) the Tier II restored amount payable to a widow(er)
whose annuity was reduced for receipt of an employee annuity, and who
was dependent on the railroad employee in the year prior to the
employee's death. One-half support may also negate the public service
pension offset in Tier I for a spouse or widow(er). The Railroad
Retirement Board (RRB) utilizes Form G-134, Statement Regarding
Contributions and Support, to secure information needed to adequately
determine if the applicant meets the one-half support requirement. One
response is completed by each respondent. Completion is required to
obtain benefits. The RRB proposes no changes to Form G-134.
