RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD
Agency Forms Submitted for OMB
Review, Request for Comments
Summary: In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 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.
Title and purpose of information
collection: Medicare; OMB 3220–0082.
Under Section 7(d) of the Railroad
Retirement Act (RRA) (45 U.S.C. 231f),
the Railroad Retirement Board (RRB)
administers the Medicare program for
persons covered by the railroad
retirement system. The RRB uses Form
AA–6, Employee Application for
Medicare; Form AA–7, Spouse/Divorced
Spouse Application for Medicare; and
Form AA–8, Widow/Widower
Application for Medicare; to obtain the
information needed to determine
whether individuals who have not yet

28MRN1
Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 59 / Friday, March 28, 2025 / Notices
qualified for Medicare payments
provided under Title XVIII of the Social
Security Act. Further, to determine if
any qualified railroad retirement
beneficiary who is claiming
supplementary medical insurance
coverage under Medicare is entitled to
a Special Enrollment Period (SEP) and/
or premium surcharge relief because of
coverage under an Employer Group
Health Plan (EGHP), the RRB needs to
obtain information regarding the
claimant’s EGHP coverage, if any. The
RRB uses Form RL–311–F, Evidence of
Coverage Under An Employer Group
Health Plan, to obtain the basic
information needed to establish EGHP
coverage for a qualified railroad
retirement beneficiary.
The RRB will use new Form AA–23,
Application For Medicare—Medical
Insurance (Part B) Program, to obtain
information from a quailed railroad
retirement beneficiary to determine if
they are eligible to enroll through the
Initial Enrollment Period, Special
Enrollment Period, or General
Enrollment Period.
The RRB will use new Form AA–24,
Application for Medicare Part B—
Special Enrollment Period (Exceptional
Conditions), to obtain the information
needed to determine if a qualified
railroad retirement beneficiary is
entitled to a SEP because of an
exceptional condition.
One response is requested of each
respondent.
Previous Requests for Comments: The
RRB has already published the initial
60-day notice (90 8165 on January 24,
2025) required by 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2).
That request elicited no comments.
