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 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: Evidence of Marital
Relationship—Living with
Requirements; OMB 3220–0021.
Under Sections 2(c) or 2(d) (45 U.S.C.
231a) of the Railroad Retirement Act, an
applicant must submit proof of a valid
marriage to a railroad employee. In
some cases, the existence of a marital
relationship is not formalized by a civil
or religious ceremony. In other cases,
questions may arise about the legal
termination of a prior marriage of the
employee, spouse, or widow(er). In
these instances, the RRB must secure
E:\FR\FM\25NON1.SGM
25NON1
64939
Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 227 / Monday, November 25, 2019 / Notices
additional information to resolve
questionable marital relationships. The
circumstances requiring an applicant to
submit documentary evidence of
marriage are prescribed in 20 CFR
219.30.
The RRB utilizes Forms G–124,
Individual Statement of Marital
Relationship; G–124a, Certification of
Marriage Information; G–237, Statement
Regarding Marital Status; G–238,
Statement of Residence; and G–238a,
Statement Regarding Divorce or
Annulment, to secure the needed
information. Forms G–124, G–237, G–
238, and G–238a can be completed
either with assistance from RRB
personnel during an in-office interview
or by mail. One response is requested of
each respondent. Completion is
required to obtain benefits.
Previous Requests for Comments: The
RRB has already published the initial
60-day notice (84 FR 48381 on
September 13, 2019) required by 44
U.S.C 3506(c)(2). That request elicited
no comments.

Title: Evidence of Martial
Relationship—Living with
Requirements.
OMB Control Number: 3220–0021.
Forms submitted: G–124, G–124a, G–
237, G–238 and G–238a.
Type of request: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Affected public: Individuals or
Households; Business or other for Profit.
Abstract: Under the RRA, to obtain a
benefit as a spouse of an employee
annuitant or as the widow(er) of the
deceased employee, an applicant must
submit information to be used to
determine if the marriage requirements
for such benefits have been met. The
collection obtains information
supporting claimed common-law
marriage, termination of previous
marriages, and residency requirements.
Changes proposed: The RRB proposes
minor non-burden impacting changes to
the forms in the collection.

2. 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) (45 U.S.C.231a), 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 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
VerDate Sep<11>2014

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; RL–11D1, Request for
Medical Evidence from Employers, and
RL–250, Request for Medical
Assessment, to obtain the necessary
medical evidence. One response is
requested of each respondent.
Completion is required for all forms to
obtain benefits except Form RL–11D1,
which is voluntary.

Type of request: Revision of a
currently approved collection of
information.
Affected public: Individuals or
households; Private Sector; State, Local
and Tribal Government.
Abstract: The Railroad Retirement Act
provides disability annuities for
qualified railroad employees whose
physical or mental condition renders
them incapable of working in their
regular occupation (occupational
disability) or any occupation (total
disability). The medical reports obtain
information needed for determining the
nature and severity of the impairment.
Changes proposed: 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

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
the information collection. Form RL–
11D1 will be mailed by an RRB field
office to railroad employers to obtain
any medical evidence regarding the
employee’s disability that they may
have acquired within the last 18
evidence or that they have no medical
evidence to submit.

3. Title and purpose of information
collection: Application to Act as
Representative Payee; OMB 3220–0052.
Under Section 12 of the Railroad
Retirement Act, the Railroad Retirement
Board (RRB) may pay benefits to a
representative payee when an employee,
spouse or survivor annuitant is
incompetent or is a minor. A
representative payee may be a courtappointed guardian, a statutory
conservator or an individual selected by
the RRB. The procedures pertaining to
the appointment and responsibilities of
a representative payee are prescribed in
20 CFR 266. The forms furnished by the
RRB to apply for representative payee
status, and for securing the information
needed to support the application
follow. RRB Form AA–5, Application
for Substitution of Payee, obtains
information needed to determine the
selection of a representative payee who
will serve in the best interest of the
beneficiary. RRB Form G–478,
Statement Regarding Patient’s
Capability to Manage Benefits, obtains
information about an annuitant’s
capability to manage their own benefits.
The form is completed by the
annuitant’s personal physician or by a
medical officer, if the annuitant is in an
institution. It is not required when a
court has appointed an individual or
institution to manage the annuitant’s
funds or, in the absence of such
appointment, when the annuitant is a
minor. The RRB also provides
representative payees with a booklet at
the time of their appointment. The
booklet, RRB Form RB–5, Your Duties
as Representative Payee-Representative
Payee’s Record, advises representative
payees of their responsibilities under 20
CFR 266.9 and provides a means for the
representative payee to maintain records
pertaining to the receipt and use of RRB
benefits. The booklet is provided for the
representative payee’s convenience. The
RRB also accepts records that are kept
by representative payees as part of a
common business practice. Completion
is voluntary. One response is requested
of each respondent.
Previous Requests for Comments: The
RRB has already published the initial
60-day notice (84 FR 48381 on
September 13, 2019) required by 44
U.S.C. 3506(c)(2). That request elicited
no comments.

that may be paid in a benefit year.
Section 2(c) further provides for
extended benefits for certain employees
and for beginning a benefit year early for
other employees. The conditions for
these actions are prescribed in 20 CFR
302.
All information about creditable
railroad service and compensation
needed by the RRB to administer
Section 2(c) is not always available from
annual reports filed by railroad
employers with the RRB (OMB 3220–

obtain supplemental information about
service and compensation.
The RRB utilizes Form UI–41,
Supplemental Report of Service and
Compensation, and Form UI–41a,
Supplemental Report of Compensation,
to obtain the additional information
about service and compensation from
railroad employers. Completion of the
forms is mandatory. One response is

Retirement Board (RRB) determines that
an overpayment of Railroad Retirement
Act or Railroad Unemployment
Insurance Act benefits has occurred, it
initiates prompt action to notify the
annuitant of the overpayment and to
recover the money owed the RRB. To
effect payment of a debt by credit card,
the RRB utilizes Form G–421F,
Repayment by Credit Card. The RRB’s
procedures pertaining to benefit
overpayment determinations and the
recovery of such benefits are prescribed
in 20 CFR 255 and 340.One form is
completed by each respondent.
Completion is voluntary.
Previous Requests for Comments: The

customer satisfaction by determining to
what extent services are satisfactory and
where and to what extent services can
be improved. The surveys are limited to
data collections that solicit strictly
voluntary opinions, and do not collect
information which is required or
regulated. The information collection,
which was first approved by the Office
of Management and Budget (OMB) in
1997, provides the RRB with a generic
clearance authority. This generic
authority allows the RRB to submit a

Background
In July 2018, the Exchange and its
direct parent company were acquired by
NYSE Group, Inc. (‘‘Transaction’’).5 As
a result of the Transaction, the Exchange
became part of a corporate family

Following the Transaction, the
Exchange continued to operate as a
separate self-regulatory organization
with rules, membership rosters and
listings distinct from the rules,
membership rosters and listings of the
other Affiliated Exchanges.
The Exchange recently adopted the
rule numbering framework of NYSE
National rules, which are organized in
13 Rules.6 In addition, the Exchange has
amended its rules to support the
transition of trading in Tape A, Tape B,
and Tape C-listed securities from its
current trading platform to a fully

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 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: Evidence of Marital
Relationship--Living with Requirements; OMB 3220-0021.
Under Sections 2(c) or 2(d) (45 U.S.C. 231a) of the Railroad
Retirement Act, an applicant must submit proof of a valid marriage to a
railroad employee. In some cases, the existence of a marital
relationship is not formalized by a civil or religious ceremony. In
other cases, questions may arise about the legal termination of a prior
marriage of the employee, spouse, or widow(er). In these instances, the
RRB must secure
[[Page 64939]]
additional information to resolve questionable marital relationships.
The circumstances requiring an applicant to submit documentary evidence
of marriage are prescribed in 20 CFR 219.30.
The RRB utilizes Forms G-124, Individual Statement of Marital
Relationship; G-124a, Certification of Marriage Information; G-237,
Statement Regarding Marital Status; G-238, Statement of Residence; and
G-238a, Statement Regarding Divorce or Annulment, to secure the needed
information. Forms G-124, G-237, G-238, and G-238a can be completed
either with assistance from RRB personnel during an in-office interview
or by mail. One response is requested of each respondent. Completion is
required to obtain benefits.
Previous Requests for Comments: The RRB has already published the
initial 60-day notice (84 FR 48381 on September 13, 2019) required by
44 U.S.C 3506(c)(2). That request elicited no comments.
Information Collection Request (ICR)
Title: Evidence of Martial Relationship--Living with Requirements.
OMB Control Number: 3220-0021.
Forms submitted: G-124, G-124a, G-237, G-238 and G-238a.
Type of request: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Affected public: Individuals or Households; Business or other for
Profit.
Abstract: Under the RRA, to obtain a benefit as a spouse of an
employee annuitant or as the widow(er) of the deceased employee, an
applicant must submit information to be used to determine if the
marriage requirements for such benefits have been met. The collection
obtains information supporting claimed common-law marriage, termination
of previous marriages, and residency requirements.
Changes proposed: The RRB proposes minor non-burden impacting
changes to the forms in the collection.
The burden estimate for the ICR is as follows:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------
Total....................................................... 1,100 .............. 196
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. 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) (45 U.S.C.231a), 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 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; RL-11D1, Request for Medical Evidence from Employers, and RL-
250, Request for Medical Assessment, to obtain the necessary medical
evidence. One response is requested of each respondent. Completion is
required for all forms to obtain benefits except Form RL-11D1, which is
voluntary.
Previous Requests for Comments: The RRB has already published the
initial 60-day notice (84 FR on September 18, 2019) required by 44
U.S.C. 3506(c)(2). That request elicited no comments.
Information Collection Request (ICR)
Title: Medical Reports.
OMB Control Number: 3220-0038.
Form(s) submitted: G-3EMP, G-197, G-250, G-250a, G-260, RL-11B, RL-
11D, RL-11D1, and RL-250.
Type of request: Revision of a currently approved collection of
information.
Affected public: Individuals or households; Private Sector; State,
Local and Tribal Government.
Abstract: The Railroad Retirement Act provides disability annuities
for qualified railroad employees whose physical or mental condition
renders them incapable of working in their regular occupation
(occupational disability) or any occupation (total disability). The
medical reports obtain information needed for determining the nature
and severity of the impairment.
Changes proposed: 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
[[Page 64940]]
the information collection. Form RL-11D1 will be mailed by an RRB field
office to railroad 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.
The burden estimate for the ICR is as follows:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Annual
Form No. responses Time (minutes) Burden (hours)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
G-3EMP.......................................................... 600 10 100

-----------------------------------------------
Total....................................................... 36,500 .............. 10,201
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Title and purpose of information collection: Application to Act
as Representative Payee; OMB 3220-0052.
Under Section 12 of the Railroad Retirement Act, the Railroad
Retirement Board (RRB) may pay benefits to a representative payee when
an employee, spouse or survivor annuitant is incompetent or is a minor.
A representative payee may be a court-appointed guardian, a statutory
conservator or an individual selected by the RRB. The procedures
pertaining to the appointment and responsibilities of a representative
payee are prescribed in 20 CFR 266. The forms furnished by the RRB to
apply for representative payee status, and for securing the information
needed to support the application follow. RRB Form AA-5, Application
for Substitution of Payee, obtains information needed to determine the
selection of a representative payee who will serve in the best interest
of the beneficiary. RRB Form G-478, Statement Regarding Patient's
Capability to Manage Benefits, obtains information about an annuitant's
capability to manage their own benefits. The form is completed by the
annuitant's personal physician or by a medical officer, if the
annuitant is in an institution. It is not required when a court has
appointed an individual or institution to manage the annuitant's funds
or, in the absence of such appointment, when the annuitant is a minor.
The RRB also provides representative payees with a booklet at the time
of their appointment. The booklet, RRB Form RB-5, Your Duties as
Representative Payee-Representative Payee's Record, advises
representative payees of their responsibilities under 20 CFR 266.9 and
provides a means for the representative payee to maintain records
pertaining to the receipt and use of RRB benefits. The booklet is
provided for the representative payee's convenience. The RRB also
accepts records that are kept by representative payees as part of a
common business practice. Completion is voluntary. One response is
requested of each respondent.
Previous Requests for Comments: The RRB has already published the
initial 60-day notice (84 FR 48381 on September 13, 2019) required by
44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2). That request elicited no comments.

Affected public: Individuals or Households; Business or other for
Profit.
Abstract: Under Section 12 of the Railroad Retirement Act, the
Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) may pay benefits to a representative
payee when an employee, spouse or survivor annuitant is incompetent or
is a minor. The collection obtains information related to the
representative payee application, supporting documentation and the
maintenance of records pertaining to the receipt and use of benefits.
Changes proposed: The RRB is proposing no changes to Forms AA-5, G-
478, and the RB-5 booklet.
The burden estimate for the ICR is as follows:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Annual

Total................................................... 20,300 .............. 16,350
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Title and purpose of information collection: Employer Service
and Compensation Reports; OMB 3220-0070.
Section 2(c) of the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act (RUIA)
specifies the maximum normal
[[Page 64941]]
unemployment and sickness benefits that may be paid in a benefit year.
Section 2(c) further provides for extended benefits for certain
employees and for beginning a benefit year early for other employees.
The conditions for these actions are prescribed in 20 CFR 302.
All information about creditable railroad service and compensation
needed by the RRB to administer Section 2(c) is not always available
from annual reports filed by railroad employers with the RRB (OMB 3220-
0008). When this occurs, the RRB must obtain supplemental information
about service and compensation.
The RRB utilizes Form UI-41, Supplemental Report of Service and
Compensation, and Form UI-41a, Supplemental Report of Compensation, to
obtain the additional information about service and compensation from
railroad employers. Completion of the forms is mandatory. One response
is required of each respondent.
Previous Requests for Comments: The RRB has already published the
initial 60-day notice (84 FR 48381 on September 13, 2019) required by
44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2). That request elicited no comments.
Information Collection Request (ICR)

OMB Control Number: 3220-0070.
Forms submitted: UI-41 and UI-41a.
Type of request: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Affected public: Private Sector; Businesses or other for profits.
Abstract: The reports obtain the employee's service and
compensation for a period subsequent to those already on file and the
employee's base year compensation. The information is used to determine
the entitlement to and the amount of benefits payable.
Changes proposed: The RRB proposes minor non-burden impacting
changes to Form UI-41a.
The burden estimate for the ICR is as follows:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Annual
Form No. responses Time (minutes) Burden (hours)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------
Total....................................................... 150 .............. 20
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Title and purpose of information collection: Repayment of Debt;
OMB 3220-0169. When the Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) determines that
an overpayment of Railroad Retirement Act or Railroad Unemployment
Insurance Act benefits has occurred, it initiates prompt action to
notify the annuitant of the overpayment and to recover the money owed
the RRB. To effect payment of a debt by credit card, the RRB utilizes
Form G-421F, Repayment by Credit Card. The RRB's procedures pertaining
to benefit overpayment determinations and the recovery of such benefits
are prescribed in 20 CFR 255 and 340.One form is completed by each
respondent. Completion is voluntary.
Previous Requests for Comments: The RRB has already published the
initial 60-day notice (84 FR 48381 on September 13, 2019) required by
44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2). That request elicited no comments.

under the Railroad Retirement Act or Railroad Unemployment Insurance
Act has occurred, it initiates action to notify the claimant of the
overpayment and to recover the amount owed. The collection obtains
information needed to allow for repayment by the claimant by credit
card, in addition to the customary form of payment by check or money
order.
Changes proposed: The RRB proposes no changes to Form G-421F.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. Title and purpose of information collection: Customer
Satisfaction Monitoring; OMB 3220-0192.
In accordance with Executive Order 12862, the Railroad Retirement
Board (RRB) conducts a number of customer surveys designed to determine
the kinds and quality of services our beneficiaries, claimants,
employers and members of the public want and expect, as well as their
satisfaction with existing RRB services. The information collected is
used by RRB management to monitor customer satisfaction by determining
to what extent services are satisfactory and where and to what extent
services can be improved. The surveys are limited to data collections
that solicit strictly voluntary opinions, and do not collect
information which is required or regulated. The information collection,
which was first approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
in 1997, provides the RRB with a generic clearance authority. This
generic authority allows the RRB to submit a variety of new or revised
customer survey instruments (needed to timely implement customer
monitoring activities) to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for
expedited review and approval.
Previous Requests for Comments: The RRB has already published the
initial 60-day notice (84 FR 48381 September 13, 2019) required by 44
U.S.C. 3506(c)(2). That request elicited no comments.
