III. Ordering Paragraphs 

I. Introduction 

Pursuant to 39 U.S.C. 3642 and 39 

CFR 3020.30 et seq., the Postal Service 

filed a formal request and associated 

supporting information to add Express 

Mail Contract 10 to the competitive 

product list.1 The Postal Service asserts 

that Express Mail Contract 10 is a 

competitive product ‘‘not of general 

applicability’’ within the meaning of 39 

U.S.C. 3632(b)(3). Id. at 1. The Postal 

Service states that the prices and 

classification underlying this contract 

are supported by Governors’ Decision 

No. 09–14 in Docket No. MC2010–5 and 

CP2010–5. Id. The Request has been 

assigned Docket No. MC2011–12. 

The Postal Service 

contemporaneously filed a contract 

related to the proposed new product 

pursuant to 39 U.S.C. 3632(b)(3) and 39 

CFR 3015.5. The contract has been 

assigned Docket No. CP2011–48. 

Request. In support of its Request, the 

Postal Service filed six attachments as 

follows: 

• Attachment A—a redacted copy of 

Governors’ Decision No. 09–14, 

originally filed in Docket No. MC2010– 

5, authorizing certain Express Mail 

contracts; 

• Attachment B—a redacted copy of 

the contract; 

• Attachment C—a proposed change 

in the Mail Classification Schedule 

competitive product list; 

• Attachment D—a Statement of 

Supporting Justification as required by 

39 CFR 3020.32; 

• Attachment E—a certification of 

compliance with 39 U.S.C. 3633(a); and 

• Attachment F—an application for 

non-public treatment of materials to 

maintain redacted portions of the 

contract and supporting documents 

under seal. 

In the Statement of Supporting 

Justification, Josen Punnoose, Manager, 

Shipping Support (A), Shipping 

Services, asserts that the service to be 

provided under the contract will cover 

its attributable costs, make a positive 

contribution to institutional costs, and 

increase contribution toward the 

requisite 5.5 percent of the Postal 

Service’s total institutional costs. Id., 

Attachment D. Thus, Mr. Punnoose 

contends there will be no issue of 

subsidization of competitive products 

by market dominant products as a result 

of this contract. Id. 

Related contract. A redacted version 

of the specific Express Mail Contract 10 

is included with the Request. The 

contract will become effective the day 

that the Commission provides all 

necessary regulatory approvals. The 

contract states it ‘‘shall expire 3 years 

from the effective date, unless (1) 

terminated by either Party with 30 days 

notice to the other Party in writing 

* * *.’’ The Postal Service represents 

that the contract is consistent with 39 

U.S.C. 3633 (a). See id., Attachment D. 

The Postal Service maintains that the 

contract and related financial 

information, including the customer’s 

name and the accompanying analyses 

that provide prices, terms, conditions, 

cost data, and financial projections, 

should remain under seal. See id., 

Attachment F. It also requests that the 

Commission order that the duration of 

such treatment of all customeridentifying information be extended 

indefinitely, instead of ending after 10 

years. Id. at 7.

BILLING CODE 7710–FW–P 

RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD 

Agency Forms Submitted for OMB 

Review, Request for Comments 

Summary: In accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. chapter 35), the Railroad 

Retirement Board (RRB) is submitting 

five (5) Information Collection Requests 

(ICR) to the Office of Information and 

Regulatory Affairs (OIRA), Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB). Our 

ICR(s) describe 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 RRB or OIRA must contain 

the OMB control number of the ICR. For 

proper consideration of your comments, 

it is best if RRB and OIRA receive them 

within 30 days of publication date. 

1. Title and Purpose of Information 

Collection: 3220–0005, Employer 

Reporting. 

Under Section 9 of the Railroad 

Retirement Act (RRA), and Section 6 of 

the Railroad Unemployment Insurance 

Act (RUIA), railroad employers are 

required to submit reports of employee 

service and compensation to the RRB as 

needed for administering the RRA and 

RUIA. To pay benefits due on a 

deceased employee’s earnings records or 

determine entitlement to, and amount of 

annuity applied for, it is necessary at 

times to obtain from railroad employers 

current (lag) service and compensation 

not yet reported to the RRB through the 

annual reporting process. The reporting 

requirements are specified in 20 CFR 

209.6 and 209.7. 

The RRB utilizes Form G–88a.1, 

Notice of Retirement and Verification of 

Date Last Worked, Form G–88a.2, Notice 

of Retirement and Request for Service 

Needed for Eligibility, and Form AA–12, 

Notice of Death and Compensation, to 

obtain the required lag service and 

related information from railroad 

employers. Form G–88a.1 is a computergenerated listing sent by the RRB to 

railroad employers and used for the 

specific purpose of verifying 

information previously provided to the 

RRB regarding the date last worked by 

an employee. Form G–88a.2 is used by 

the RRB to secure lag service and 

compensation information when it is 

needed to determine benefit eligibility. 

Form AA–12 obtains a report of lag 

service and compensation from the last 

railroad employer of a deceased 

employee. This report covers the lag 

period between the date of the latest 

record of employment processed by the 

RRB and the date an employee last 

worked, the date of death or the date the 

employee may have been entitled to 

benefits under the Social Security Act. 

The information is used by the RRB to 

determine benefits due on the deceased 

employee’s earnings record. The RRB 

proposes no changes to Form AA–12, 

Form G–88a.1 and Form G–88a.2. 

In addition, 20 CFR 209.12(b) requires 

all railroad employers to furnish the 

RRB with the home addresses of all 

employees hired within the last year 

(new-hires). Form BA–6a, Form BA–6 

Address Report, is used by the RRB to 

obtain home address information of 

employees from railroad employers that 

do not have the home address 

information computerized and who 

submit the information in a paper 

format. The form also serves as an 

instruction sheet to railroad employers 

who can also submit the information 

electronically by magnetic tape 

cartridge, CD–ROM, secure e-mail, or 

via the Internet utilizing the RRB’s 

Employer Reporting System (ERS). 

Completion of the forms is mandatory. 

One response is requested of each 

respondent. The RRB proposes no 

changes to Form BA–6a. 

Information Collection Request (ICR) 

Title: Employer Reporting. 

OMB Control Number: 3220–0005. 

Form(s) submitted: AA–12, G–88A.1, 

G–88A.2, BA–6a (Internet) and

collection. 

Affected public: Business or other forprofit, Individuals or Households. 

Abstract: Under the Railroad 

Retirement Act and the Railroad 

Unemployment Insurance Act, railroad 

employers are required to report service 

and compensation for employees 

needed to determine eligibility to and 

the amounts of benefits paid.
