RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD
Proposed Collection; Comment
Request
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: Evidence of Marital
Relationship—Living with
Requirements; OMB 3220–0021.
To support an application for a
spouse or widow(er)’s annuity 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
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.
In the absence of documentary
evidence, the RRB needs to determine if
a valid marriage existed between a
spouse or widow(er) annuity applicant
and a railroad employee. 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. The RRB
proposes minor non-burden impacting
changes to Forms G–124, G–124a, and
G–237 to remove the words ‘‘husband’’
or ‘‘wife’’ and replace them with genderneutral term ‘‘spouse’’. The RRB
proposes no changes to Forms G–238
and G–238a.

2. Title and purpose of information
collection: Employer Service and
Compensation Reports; OMB 3220–
0070.
Section 2(c) of the Railroad
Unemployment Insurance Act (RUIA)
(45 U.S.C. 352) specifies the maximum
normal 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. The RRB
proposes no changes to Form UI–41 and
Form UI–41a.

3. 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. The RRB proposes no
changes to Form G–201.

Notice is hereby given that pursuant
to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(‘‘PRA’’) (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the
Securities and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) is soliciting comments
on the existing collection of information
provided for in Rule 17a–14 [17 CFR
240.17a–14] and Form CRS [17 CFR
249.640], under the Securities Exchange

Jkt 259001
Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.). The
Commission plans to submit this
existing collection of information to the
Office of Management and Budget
(‘‘OMB’’) for extension and approval.
Rule 17a–14 and Form CRS require a
broker-dealer that offers services to
retail investors to prepare and file with
the Commission through WebCRD, post
to the broker-dealer’s website (if it has
one), and deliver to retail investors a
relationship summary. The relationship
summary can assist retail investors in
making an informed choice about
whether to hire or retain a broker-dealer,
as well as what types of accounts and
services are appropriate for their needs.
The information that must be
collected pursuant to Rule 17a–14 and
Form CRS is necessary to provide
broker-dealer retail customers,
prospective retail customers, and the
Commission with information about the
relationships and services the firm
offers to retail investors, fees and costs
that the retail investor will pay, specific
conflicts of interest and standards of
conduct, legal or disciplinary history,
and how to obtain additional
information about the firm. The
Commission uses the information to
manage its regulatory and examination
programs. Clients can use the
information required in the relationship
summary to determine whether to hire
or retain a broker-dealer, as well as what
types of accounts and services are
appropriate for their needs. The
information will therefore help establish
a framework that protects investors and
promotes efficiency, competition, and
capital formation.

information collection requirements of
Rule 17a–14 and Form CRS is estimated
to be approximately 6,098,916 hours per
year. Under Rule 17a–14 and Form CRS,
respondents will also incur cost
burdens. The aggregate annual cost
burden for all respondents is estimated
to be approximately $181,194 per year.
Written comments are invited on: (a)
whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Commission, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the Commission’s
estimate of the burden of the collection
of information; (c) ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information collected; and (d) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of
information on respondents, including
through the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology. Consideration will be given
to comments and suggestions submitted
in writing by January 17, 2023.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
under the PRA unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number.
Please direct your written comments
to: David Bottom, Director/Chief
Information Officer, Securities and
Exchange Commission, c/o John
Pezzullo, 100 F Street NE, Washington,
DC 20549, or send an email to: PRA_
