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: Certification Regarding
Rights to Unemployment Benefits; OMB
3220–0079.
Under section 4 of the Railroad
Unemployment Insurance Act (RUIA)
(45 U.S.C. 354), an employee who leaves
work voluntarily is disqualified for
unemployment benefits unless the
employee left work for good cause and
is not qualified for unemployment
benefits under any other law. RRB Form
UI–45, Claimant’s Statement—
Voluntary Leaving of Work, is used by
the RRB to obtain the claimant’s
statement when the claimant, the
claimant’s employer, or another source
indicates that the claimant has
voluntarily left work.
Completion of Form UI–45 is required
to obtain or retain benefits. One
response is received from each
respondent. The RRB proposes no
changes to Form UI–45.

2. Title and purpose of information
collection: Self-Employment and
Substantial Service Questionnaire; OMB
3220–0138.
Section 2 of the Railroad Retirement
Act (RRA) (45 U.S.C. 231a) provides for
payment of annuities to qualified
employees and their spouses. In order to
receive an age and service annuity,
section 2(e)(3) states that an applicant
must stop all railroad work and give up
any rights to return to such work.
However, applicants are not required to
stop nonrailroad work or selfemployment.
The RRB considers some work
claimed as ‘‘self-employment’’ to
actually be employment for an
employer. Whether the RRB classifies a

particular activity as self-employment or
as work for an employer depends upon
the circumstances of each case. These
circumstances are prescribed in 20 CFR
216.
Under the 1988 amendments to the
RRA, an applicant is no longer required
to stop work for a ‘‘Last Pre-Retirement
Nonrailroad Employer’’ (LPE). However,
section 2(f)(6) of the RRA requires that
a portion of the employee’s Tier II
benefit and supplemental annuity be
deducted for earnings from the ‘‘LPE.’’
The ‘‘LPE’’ is defined as the last
person, company, or institution with
whom the employee or spouse applicant
was employed concurrently with, or
after, the applicant’s last railroad
employment and before their annuity

beginning date. If a spouse never
worked for a railroad, the LPE is the last
person for whom he or she worked.
The RRB utilizes Form AA–4, SelfEmployment and Substantial Service
Questionnaire, to obtain information
needed to determine if the work the
applicant claims is self-employment is
really self-employment or work for an
LPE or railroad service. If the work is
self-employment, the questionnaire
identifies any month in which the
applicant did not perform substantial
service. One response is requested of
each respondent.
Completion is voluntary. However,
failure to complete the form could result
in the nonpayment of benefits. The RRB
proposes no changes to Form AA–4.

To enable the Railroad Retirement
Board (RRB) to determine the effect of
a disability on an applicant’s ability to
work, the RRB needs the applicant’s
