The NRC published a Federal Register notice with a 60-day comment period on this information collection on September 1, 2022, 87 FR 53795. 1. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR part 11, ‘‘Criteria and Procedures for Determining Eligibility for Access to or Control Over Special Nuclear Material.’’ 2. OMB approval number: 3150–0062. 3. Type of submission: Extension. 4. The form number, if applicable: N/A. 5. How often the collection is required or requested: On occasion. 6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Employees (including applicants for employment), contractors, and consultant for NRC licensees and contractors whose activities involves access to, or control over, special nuclear material at either fixed sites or for transportation activities. 7. The estimated number of annual responses: 558. 8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 2. 9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the information collection requirement or request: 139.4 (139 reporting and 0.4 recordkeeping). 10. Abstract: The NRC’s regulations in part 11 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), establish requirements for access to special nuclear material, and the criteria and procedures for resolving questions concerning the eligibility of individuals to receive special nuclear material access authorization. The specific part 11 requirements covered under this OMB clearance include requests for VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:17 Jan 23, 2023 Jkt 259001 exemptions to part 11 requirements, amendments to security plans that require incumbents to have material access authorizations, access authorization cancellations. In addition, licensees must keep records of the names and access authorization numbers of certain individuals assigned to shipments of special nuclear material. The information required by 10 CFR part 11 is needed to establish control over and maintain records of who is properly authorized to safeguard and have access to special nuclear material. Not knowing this information could cause harm to the public and national security. Dated: January 18, 2023. For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

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: Application to Act as Representative Payee; OMB 3220–0052. Under section 12 of the Railroad Retirement Act (45 U.S.C. 231k), 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 PO 00000 Frm 00073 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 4223 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 payee’s as part of a common business practice. Completion is voluntary. One response is requested of each respondent. The RRB proposes the following changes to Form AA–5: Page 1: • Above Question 1: Inserted the words ‘‘and signed’’ in the second sentence. • Questions 3 and 5: Added the following Note: ‘‘Does not include Power of Attorney.’’ • Question 7: Revised No options to include more clarifying information to make appropriate selection. • Question 8: Revised second sentence to ‘‘If the beneficiary lives alone or independently (no caregiver), show their address and telephone number.’’ Page 2: • Question 11b: At the end of the sentence, changed to ‘‘go to item 18.’’ Page 3: • Question 16c: Added new question ‘‘Will you charge a fee for your services?’’ along with Yes and No optional responses.

Title and purpose of information collection: Public Service Pension Questionnaires; OMB 3220–0136. Public Law 95–216 amended the Social Security Act of 1977 by providing, in part, that spouse or survivor benefits may be reduced when the beneficiary is in receipt of a pension based on employment with a Federal, State, or local governmental unit. Initially, the reduction was equal to the full amount of the government pension. Public Law 98–21 changed the reduction to two-thirds of the amount of the government pension. Public Law 108–203 amended the Social Security Act by changing the requirement for exemption to a public service offset, so that Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) taxes are deducted from the public service wages for the last 60 months of public service employment, rather than just the last day of public service employment. Sections 4(a)(1) and 4(f)(1) of the Railroad Retirement Act (RRA) (45 U.S.C. 231) provides that a spouse or survivor annuity should be equal in amount to what the annuitant would receive if entitled to a like benefit from the Social Security Administration.

RRB Form G–45, Supplement to Claim of Person Outside the United States, is currently used by the RRB to determine applicability of the withholding provision of Public Law 98–21.

When an overpayment of RRA or RUIA benefits has occurred, prompt action is initiated to notify the annuitant or beneficiary of the overpayment and the method by which the debt may be liquidated. The overpayment recovery methods available are cash refund by check, money order, debit card and withholding of annuities or benefits due. Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) procedures pertaining to RRA annuity and benefit overpayment determinations and recovery are prescribed in 20 CFR part 255. RUIA procedures pertaining to benefit overpayment determinations are prescribed in 20 CFR part 340.

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: Application to Act 
as Representative Payee; OMB 3220-0052.
    Under section 12 of the Railroad Retirement Act (45 U.S.C. 231k), 
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 payee's as part of a common business practice. 
Completion is voluntary. One response is requested of each respondent.
    The RRB proposes the following changes to Form AA-5:

    2. Title and purpose of information collection: Public Service 
Pension Questionnaires; OMB 3220-0136.
    Public Law 95-216 amended the Social Security Act of 1977 by 
providing, in part, that spouse or survivor benefits may be reduced 
when the beneficiary is in receipt of a pension based on employment 
with a Federal, State, or local governmental unit. Initially, the 
reduction was equal to the full amount of the government pension. 
Public Law 98-21 changed the reduction to two-thirds of the amount of 
the government pension.
    Public Law 108-203 amended the Social Security Act by changing the 
requirement for exemption to a public service offset, so that Federal 
Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) taxes are deducted from the public 
service wages for the last 60 months of public service employment, 
rather than just the last day of public service employment.
    Sections 4(a)(1) and 4(f)(1) of the Railroad Retirement Act (RRA) 
(45 U.S.C. 231) provides that a spouse or survivor annuity should be 
equal in amount to what the annuitant would receive if entitled to a 
like benefit from the Social Security Administration. Therefore, the 
public service pension (PSP) provisions apply to RRA annuities. RRB 
regulations pertaining to the collection of evidence relating to public 
service pensions or worker's compensation paid to spouse or survivor 
applicants or annuitants are prescribed in 20 CFR 219.64c.
    The RRB utilizes Form G-208, Public Service Pension Questionnaire, 
and Form G-212, Public Service Monitoring Questionnaire, to obtain 
information used to determine whether an annuity reduction is in order. 
Completion of the forms is voluntary. However, failure to complete the 
forms could result in the nonpayment of benefits. One response is 
requested of each respondent.
    The RRB proposes no changes to the forms in the collection.

31, 1984; (2) are not U.S. citizens or U.S. nationals; and (3) have 
resided outside the U.S. for more than six consecutive months starting 
with the annuity beginning date. The benefit withholding provision does 
not apply, however to a beneficiary who is exempt under either a treaty 
obligation of the U.S., in effect on August 1, 1956, or a totalization 
agreement between the U.S. and the country in which the beneficiary 
resides, or to an individual who is exempt under other criteria 
specified in Public Law 98-21.
    RRB Form G-45, Supplement to Claim of Person Outside the United 
States, is currently used by the RRB to determine applicability of the 
withholding provision of Public Law 98-21. Completion of the form is 
required to obtain or retain a benefit. One response is requested of 
each respondent. The RRB proposes minor non-burden impacting changes to 
Form G-45.

    4. Title and purpose of information collection: Repayment of Debt; 
OMB 3220-0169.
    Section 2 of the Railroad Retirement Act (RRA) (45 U.S.C. 231a) 
provides for payment of annuities to railroad employees who are retired 
due to age or disability and annuities or benefits to their eligible 
spouses, divorced spouses, and survivors. Section 2 of the Railroad 
Unemployment Insurance Act (RUIA) (45 U.S.C. 352) provides for the 
payment of benefits to qualified railroad employees who are unemployed, 
but willing and able to work, and railroad employees who are unable to 
work due to sickness or injury. When an overpayment of RRA or RUIA 
benefits has occurred, prompt action is initiated to notify the 
annuitant or beneficiary of the overpayment and the method by which the 
debt may be liquidated. The overpayment recovery methods available are 
cash refund by check, money order, debit card and withholding of 
annuities or benefits due. Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) procedures 
pertaining to RRA annuity and benefit overpayment determinations and 
recovery are prescribed in 20 CFR part 255. RUIA procedures pertaining 
to benefit overpayment determinations are prescribed in 20 CFR part 
340.
    When a debt is owed on an RRA or RUIA-related debt, the RRB mails 
Form DRL-145, Debt Notice, to the debtor; a Form G-421, Repayment 
Method Form, for the debtor to indicate how they will repay the debt; a 
Form G-66 or G-66B, Your Rights to Review and/or Waiver, which explains 
what they can do if they disagree with the amount of the debt; and a 
Form G-66A or G-66BA, Rights Request Form, to request their right to 
have us review and/or waiver the debt. Completion of Form G-421F is 
voluntary. The RRB proposes no changes to Form G-421F.
