RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD
Agency Forms Submitted for OMB
Review, Request for Comments
In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. Chapter 35), the Railroad
Retirement Board (RRB) is forwarding
SUMMARY:
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 collections of information to
determine (1) the practical utility of the
collections; (2) the accuracy of the
estimated burden of the collections; (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.
1. Title and purpose of information
collection: Appeal Under the Railroad
Retirement and Railroad Unemployment
Insurance Act; OMB 3220–0007.
Under Section 7(b)(3) of the Railroad
Retirement Act (RRA), and Section 5(c)
of the Railroad Unemployment
Insurance Act (RUIA) any person
aggrieved by a decision made by an
office of the RRB on his or her
application for an annuity or benefit
under those Acts has the right to appeal
to the RRB. This right is prescribed in
20 CFR 260 and 20 CFR 320. The
notification letter, which is provided at
the time of filing the original
application, informs the applicant of
such right. When an applicant protests
a decision, the concerned RRB office
reviews the entire file and any
additional evidence submitted and
sends the applicant a letter explaining
the basis of the determination. The
applicant is then notified that to protest
further, they can appeal to the RRB’s
Bureau of Hearings and Appeals. The
appeal process is prescribed in 20 CFR
260.5 and 260.9 and 20 CFR 320.12 and
320.38.
To file a request for an appeal the
applicant must complete Form HA–1,
Appeal Under the Railroad Retirement
Act or Railroad Unemployment
Insurance Act. The form asks the
applicant to explain the basis for their
request for an appeal and, if necessary,
to describe any additional evidence they
wish to submit in support of the appeal.
Completion is voluntary, however, if the
information is not provided the RRB
cannot process the appeal.

RRB has already published the initial
60-day notice (83 FR 7511 on February
21, 2018) required by 44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2). That request elicited no
comments.

month in which the beneficiary works
for an employer other than a railroad

amendments to the RRA, the Tier II
portion of the regular annuity and any
supplemental annuity must be reduced
by one dollar for each two dollars of
Last Pre-Retirement Non-Railroad
Employment (LPE) earnings for each
month of such service. However, the
reduction cannot exceed 50 percent of
the Tier II and supplemental annuity
amount for the month to which such
deductions apply. The LPE generally
