2. Title and purpose of information
collection: Availability for Work; OMB
3220–0164.
Under Section 1(k) of the Railroad
Unemployment Insurance Act,
unemployment benefits are not payable
for any day for which the claimant is
not available for work.
Under Railroad Retirement Board
(RRB) regulation 20 CFR 327.5,
‘‘available for work’’ is defined as being
willing and ready for work. A claimant
is ‘‘willing’’ to work if willing to accept
and perform for hire such work as is
reasonably appropriate to his or her
employment circumstances. A claimant
is ‘‘ready’’ for work if he or she (1) is
in a position to receive notice of work
and is willing to accept and perform
such work, and (2) is prepared to be
present with the customary equipment
at the location of such work within the
time usually allotted.
Under RRB regulation 20 CFR 327.15,
a claimant may be requested at any time
to show, as evidence of willingness to
work, that reasonable efforts are being
made to obtain work. In order to
determine whether a claimant is; (a)
available for work, and (b) willing to
work, the RRB utilizes Forms UI–38, UI
Claimant’s Report of Efforts to Find
Work, and UI–38s, School Attendance
and Availability Questionnaire, to
obtain information from the claimant
and Form ID–8k, Questionnaire—
Reinstatement of Discharged or
Suspended Employee, from the union
representative. One response is
completed by each respondent.
Previous Requests for Comments: The
RRB has already published the initial
60-day notice (82 FR 42368 on
September 7, 2017) required by 44
U.S.C. 3506(c)(2). That request elicited
no comments.
Information Collection Request (ICR)
Title: Availability for Work.
OMB Control Number: 3220–0164.
Form(s) submitted: UI–38, UI–38s,
and ID–8k.
Type of request: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Affected public: Individuals or
Households, Non-profit institutions.
Abstract: Under Section 1(k) of the
Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act,
unemployment benefits are not payable
for any day in which the claimant is not
available for work. The collection
obtains information needed by the RRB
to determine whether a claimant is
willing and ready to work.
Changes proposed: The RRB proposes
the following changes to Forms UI–38
and UI–38s and proposes no changes to
Form ID–8k.
• Form UI–38.
Æ We propose adding that the
claimant can now use online
options when searching for a job.
Æ We propose to inform the claimant
to register with the State
Employment Service and provide
proof of the registration to the RRB.
• Form UI–38s—We propose to add an
online school selection for students
who cannot provide their class
hours because their courses are
online.
The burden estimate for the ICR is as
follows:

RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD
Proposed Collection; Comment
Request

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

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: Student Beneficiary
Monitoring; OMB 3220–0123. Under
provisions of the Railroad Retirement
Act (RRA), there are two types of benefit
payments that are based on the status of
a child being in full-time elementary or
secondary school attendance at age 18–
19: (1) A survivor child’s annuity
benefit under Section 2(d)(1)(iii) and (2)
an increase in the employee retirement
annuity under the Special Guaranty
E:\FR\FM\21NON1.SGM
21NON1
55427
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 223 / Tuesday, November 21, 2017 / Notices
computation as prescribed in section
3(f)(2) and 20 CFR 229.
The survivor student annuity is
usually paid by direct deposit to a
financial institution either into the
student’s checking or savings account or
into a joint bank account with a parent.
The requirements for eligibility as a
student are prescribed in 20 CFR 216.74,
and include students in independent
study and home schooling.
To help determine if a child is
entitled to student benefits, the RRB
requires evidence of full-time school
attendance. This evidence is acquired
through the RRB’s student monitoring
program, which utilizes the following
forms. Form G–315, Student
Questionnaire, obtains certification of a
student’s full-time school attendance as
well as information on the student’s
marital status, social security benefits,
and employment, which are needed to
determine entitlement or continued
entitlement to benefits under the RRA.
Form G–315A, Statement of School
Official, is used to obtain, from a school,
verification of a student’s full-time
attendance when the student fails to
return a monitoring Form G–315. Form
G–315A.1, School Official’s Notice of
Cessation of Full-Time School
Attendance, is used by a school to notify
the RRB that a student has ceased fulltime school attendance. The RRB
proposes no changes to Forms G–315,
G–315a, or G–315a.1.
