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: Supplemental 
Information on Accident and Insurance; OMB 3220-0036.
    Under Section 12(o) of the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act 
(RUIA) (45 U.S.C 362 (o)), 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

[[Page 75060]]

(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.
    Previous Requests for Comments: The RRB has already published the 
initial 60-day notice (85 FR 57257 on September 15, 2020) required by 
44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2). That request elicited no comments.

Information Collection Request (ICR)

    Title: Supplemental Information on Accident and Insurance.
    OMB Control Number: 3220-0036.
    Form(s) submitted: SI-1c, SI-5, ID-3s, ID-3s (internet), ID-3s.1, 
ID3u, ID-3u (internet), ID-30k, and ID-30k.1.
    Type of request: Revision of a currently approved collection of 
information.
    Affected public: Individuals or Households.
    Abstract: The Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act provides for the 
recovery of sickness benefits paid if an employee receives a settlement 
for the same injury for which benefits were paid. The collection 
obtains information that is needed to determine the amount of the RRB's 
reimbursement from the person or company responsible for such payments.
    Changes proposed: The RRB proposes no changes to SI-1c, SI-5, ID-
3s, ID-3s (internet), ID-3u, ID-3u (internet), and ID-30k. The RRB 
proposes to remove Form ID-30K-1 from the Information Collection due to 
less than 10 responses per year.
    The burden estimate for the ICR is as follows:

    2. Title and Purpose of information collection: Pension Plan 
Reports; OMB 3220-0089. Under Section 2(b) of the Railroad Retirement 
Act (RRA) (45 U.S.C. 231a), 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.
    Previous Requests for Comments: The RRB has already published the 
initial 60-day notice (85 FR 57257 on September 15, 2020) required by 
44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2). That request elicited no comments.

Information Collection Request (ICR)

    Title: Pension Plan Reports.
    OMB Control Number: 3220-0089.
    Forms submitted: G-88p and G-88r.
    Type of request: Revision of a currently approved collection of 
information.
    Affected public: Businesses or other for-profits.
    Abstract: The Railroad Retirement Act provides for payment of a 
supplemental annuity to a qualified railroad retirement annuitant. The 
collection obtains information from the annuitant's employer to 
determine (a) the existence of railroad employer pension plans and 
whether such plans, if they exist, require a reduction to supplemental 
annuities paid to the employer's former employees and (b) the amount of 
supplemental annuities due railroad employees.
    Changes proposed: The RRB proposes no changes to G-88P and G-88P 
(internet). The RRB proposes the following minor non-burden impacting 
changes to Form G-88R: change work unit contact from ``RAC'' to 
``SESC'' and update the fax number to the current number.
    The burden estimate for the ICR is as follows:

    3. Title and Purpose of information collection: Statement Regarding 
Contributions and Support; OMB 3220-0099.
    Under Section 2 of the Railroad Retirement Act (45 U.S.C. 231a), 
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.
    Previous Requests for Comments: The RRB has already published the 
initial 60-day notice (85 FR 57258 on September 15, 2020) required by 
44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2). That request elicited no comments.

    Form(s) submitted: G-134.
    Type of request: Revision of a currently approved collection of 
information.
    Affected public: Individuals or Households.
    Abstract: Dependency on the employee for one-half support at the 
time of the employee's death can be a condition affecting eligibility 
for a survivor annuity provided for under Section 2 of the Railroad 
Retirement Act. One-half support is also a condition which may negate 
the public service pension offset in Tier I for a spouse or widow(er).
    Changes proposed: The RRB proposes a minor editorial change to Form 
G-134 to change the date under Section 1 ``General Instructions''..
    The burden estimate for the ICR is as follows:

    4. Title and purpose of information collection: Financial 
Disclosure Statement; OMB 3220-0127.
    Under Section 10 of the Railroad Retirement Act and Section 2(d) of 
the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act (45 U.S.C. 231i), the RRB may 
recover overpayments of annuities, pensions, death benefits, 
unemployment benefits, and sickness benefits that were made 
erroneously. An overpayment may be waived if the beneficiary was not at 
fault in causing the overpayment and recovery would cause financial 
hardship. The regulations for the recovery and waiver of erroneous 
payments are contained in 20 CFR 255 and CFR 340.
    The RRB utilizes Form DR-423, Financial Disclosure Statement, to 
obtain information about the overpaid beneficiary's income, debts, and 
expenses if that person indicates that (s)he cannot make restitution 
for the overpayment. The information is used to determine if the 
overpayment should be waived as wholly or partially uncollectible. If 
waiver is denied, the information is used to determine the size and 
frequency of installment payments. The beneficiary is made aware of the 
overpayment by letter and is offered a variety of methods for recovery. 
One response is requested of each respondent. Completion is voluntary. 
However, failure to provide the requested information may result in a 
denial of the waiver request.
    Previous Requests for Comments: The RRB has already published the 
initial 60-day notice (85 FR 57258 on September 15, 2020) required by 
44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2). That request elicited no comments.

    Form(s) submitted: DR-423.
    Type of request: Extension without change of a currently approved 
collection.
    Affected public: Individuals or Households.
    Abstract: Under the Railroad Retirement and the Railroad 
Unemployment Insurance Acts, the Railroad Retirement Board has 
authority to secure from an overpaid beneficiary a statement of the 
individual's assets and liabilities if waiver of the overpayment is 
requested.
    Changes proposed: The RRB proposes no changes to Form DR-423.
    The burden estimate for the ICR is as follows:

    5. Title and purpose of information collection: Representative 
Payee Monitoring; OMB 3220-0151.
    Under Section 12 of the Railroad Retirement Act (RRA) (45 U.S.C. 
231k), the RRB may pay annuity benefits to a representative payee when 
an employee, spouse, or survivor annuitant is incompetent or a minor. 
The RRB is responsible for determining if direct payment to an 
annuitant or a representative payee would best serve the annuitant's 
best interest. The accountability requirements authorizing the RRB to 
conduct periodic monitoring of representative payees, including a 
written accounting of benefit payments received, are prescribed in 20 
CFR 266.7. The RRB utilizes the following forms to conduct its 
representative payee monitoring program.
    Form G-99a, Representative Payee Report, is used to obtain 
information needed to determine whether the benefit payments certified 
to the representative payee have been used for the annuitant's current 
maintenance and personal needs and whether the representative payee 
continues to be concerned with the annuitant's welfare. RRB Form G-99c, 
Representative Payee Evaluation Report, is used to obtain more detailed 
information from a representative payee who fails to complete and 
return Form G-99a or in situations when the returned Form G-99a 
indicates the possible misuse of funds by the representative payee. 
Form G-99c contains specific questions concerning the representative 
payee's performance and is used by the RRB to determine whether or not 
the representative payee should continue in that capacity.
    Form G-106, Statement of Care and Responsibility to Annuitant, is 
used to solicit information about the representative payee's 
performance and the annuitant's well-being from the custodian of the 
annuitant. The form contains specific questions concerning the 
representative payee's performance, and is used by the RRB to determine 
whether or not the representative payee should continue in that 
capacity. Completion of the forms in this collection is required to 
retain benefits.
    Previous Requests for Comments: The RRB has already published the 
initial 60-day notice (85 FR 57258 on September 15, 2020) required by 
44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2). That request elicited no comments.

    Forms submitted: G-99a, G-99c and G-106.
    Type of request: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Affected public: Individuals or Households.
    Abstract: Under Section 12(a) of the Railroad Retirement Act, the 
RRB is authorized to select, make payments to, and conduct transactions 
with an annuitant's relative or some other person willing to act on 
behalf of the annuitant as representative payee. If the representative 
payee does not have custody of the beneficiary, the RRB will obtain the 
information from the custodian for evaluation. The collection obtains 
information needed to determine if a representative payee is handling 
benefit payments in the best interest of the annuitant.
    Changes proposed: The RRB proposes the following changes to Form G-
99a: add drop-down box ``Second Request'' at the top of the form to 
when the RRB needs to follow-up with a Representative Payee who did not 
respond to the initial request, add computer-generated address fields 
to mail the form to a Representative Payee, and slight change to 
question's 1, 3, and 9 wording to clarify and improve the reliability 
of responses. The RRB proposes the following change to Form G-99c: 
slight change question 9 wording to clarify and improve the reliability 
of responses. The RRB proposes no changes for Form G-106.

    6. Title and purpose of information collection: Representative 
Payee Parental Custody Monitoring; OMB 3220-0176.
    Under Section 12(a) of the Railroad Retirement Act (RRA) (45 U.S.C. 
231k), the Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) is authorized to select, 
make payments to, and to conduct transactions with, a beneficiary's 
relative or some other person willing to act on behalf of the 
beneficiary as a representative payee. The RRB is responsible for 
determining if direct payment to the beneficiary or payment to a 
representative payee would best serve the beneficiary's interest. 
Inherent in the RRB's authorization to select a representative payee is 
the responsibility to monitor the payee to assure that the 
beneficiary's interests are protected. The RRB utilizes Form G-99D, 
Parental Custody Report, to obtain information needed to verify that a 
parent-for-child representative payee still has custody of the child. 
One response is required from each respondent.
    Previous Requests for Comments: The RRB has already published the 
initial 60-day notice (85 FR 58077 on September 17, 2020) required by 
44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2). That request elicited no comments.

    7. Title and Purpose of information collection: Earnings 
Information Request; OMB 3220-0184.
    Under Section 2 of the Railroad Retirement Act (45 U.S.C. 231a), an 
annuity is not payable, or is reduced for any month(s) in which the 
beneficiary works for a railroad or earns more than prescribed amounts. 
The provisions relating to the reduction or non-payment of annuities by 
reason of work are prescribed in 20 CFR 230.
    The RRB utilizes Form G-19-F, Earnings Information Request, to 
obtain earnings information that either had not been previously 
reported or erroneously reported by a beneficiary.
    Currently the claimant is asked to enter the date they stopped 
working, if applicable. If a respondent fails to complete the form, the 
RRB may be unable to pay them benefits. One response is requested of 
each respondent.
    Previous Requests for Comments: The RRB has already published the 
initial 60-day notice (85 FR 57259 on September 15, 2020) required by 
44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2). That request elicited no comments.

    8. Title and Purpose of information collection: Job Information 
Report, OMB 3220-0193. The Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) occupational 
disability standards allow the RRB to request job information from 
railroad employers to determine an applicant's eligibility for an 
occupational disability.
    To determine an occupational disability, the RRB must obtain the 
employee's work history and establish if the employee is precluded from 
performing his or her regular railroad occupation. This is accomplished 
by comparing the restrictions caused by the impairment(s) against the 
employee's ability to perform his or her job duties.
    To collect the information needed to determine the effect of a 
disability on an employee applicant's ability to work, the RRB utilizes 
Form G-251, Vocational Report (OMB 3220-0141) which is completed by the 
applicant.
    Form G-251A, Railroad Job Information, requests railroad employers 
to provide information regarding whether the employee has been 
medically disqualified from their railroad occupation; a summary of the 
employee's duties; the machinery, tools and equipment used by the 
employee; the environmental conditions under which the employee 
performs their duties; all sensory requirements (vision, hearing, 
speech) needed to perform the employee's duties; the physical actions 
and amount of time (frequency) allotted for those actions that may be 
required by the employee to perform their duties during a typical work 
day; any permanent working accommodations an employer may have made due 
to the employee's disability; as well as any other relevant information 
they may choose to include. Completion is voluntary.
    Previous Requests for Comments: The RRB has already published the 
initial 60-day notice (85 FR 57259 on September 15, 2020) required by 
44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2). That request elicited no comments.
    Title: Job Information Report.
    OMB Control Number: 3220-0193.
    Form(s) submitted: G-251A.
    Type of request: Extension without change of a currently approved 
collection.
    Affected public: Businesses or other for profits.
    Abstract: The collection obtains information used by the Railroad 
Retirement Board (RRB) to assist in determining whether a railroad 
employee is disabled from his or her regular occupation. It provides 
railroad employers with the opportunity to provide information to the 
RRB regarding the employee applicant's job duties.
    Changes proposed: The RRB proposes no changes to Form G-251A.
    The burden estimate for the ICR is as follows:

    9. Title and purpose of information collection: Statement Regarding 
Contributions and Support of Children; OMB 3220-0195.
    Section 2(d)(4) of the Railroad Retirement Act (RRA) (45 U.S.C. 
231a), provides, in part, that a child is deemed dependent if the 
conditions set forth in Section 202(d)(3), (4) and (9) of the Social 
Security Act are met. Section 202(d)(4) of the Social Security Act, as 
amended by Public Law 104-121, requires as a condition of dependency, 
that a child receives one-half of his or her support from the 
stepparent. This dependency impacts upon the entitlement of a spouse or 
survivor of an employee whose entitlement is based upon having a 
stepchild of the employee in care, or on an individual seeking a 
child's annuity as a stepchild of an employee. Therefore, depending on 
the employee for at least one-half support is a condition affecting 
eligibility for increasing an employee or spouse annuity under the 
social security overall minimum provisions on the basis of the presence 
of a dependent child, the employee's natural child in limited 
situations, adopted children, stepchildren, grandchildren, step-
grandchildren and equitably adopted children. The regulations outlining 
child support and dependency requirements are prescribed in 20 CFR 
222.50-57.
    In order to correctly determine if an applicant is entitled to a 
child's annuity based on actual dependency, the RRB uses Form G-139, 
Statement Regarding Contributions and Support of Children, to obtain 
financial information needed to make a comparison between the amount of 
support received from the railroad employee and the amount received 
from other sources. Completion is required to obtain a benefit. One 
response is required of each respondent.
    Previous Requests for Comments: The RRB has already published the 
initial 60-day notice (85 FR 57260 on September 15, 2020) required by 
44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2). That request elicited no comments.

    Title: Statement Regarding Contributions and Support of Children.
    OMB Control Number: 3220-0195.
    Form(s) submitted: G-139.
    Type of request: Revision of a currently approved collection of 
information.
    Affected public: Individuals or Households.
    Abstract: Dependency on the employee for at least one-half support 
is a condition affecting eligibility for increasing an employee or 
spouse annuity under the social security overall minimum provisions on 
the basis of the presence of a dependent child, the employee's natural 
child in limited situations, adopted children, stepchildren, 
grandchildren and step-grandchildren. The information collected 
solicits financial information needed to determine entitlement to a 
child's annuity based on actual dependency.
    Changes proposed: The RRB proposes a minor editorial change to Form 
G-139 to change the date under Section 1 ``General Instructions''.
    The burden estimate for the ICR is as follows:

                            Form No.                                 responses       (minutes)        (hours)
