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 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.’’

• Question 11b: At the end of the
sentence, changed to ‘‘go to item 18.’’
Page 3:

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

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

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

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

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

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:
Page 1:

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

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.

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.
