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.

2. Title and Purpose of Information 

Collection: 3220–0008, Railroad Service 

and Compensation Reports/System 

Access Application/Report Certification. 

Under Section 9 of the Railroad 

Retirement Act (RRA) and Section 6 of 

the Railroad Unemployment Insurance 

Act (RUIA) the Railroad Retirement 

Board (RRB) maintains for each railroad 

employee, a record of compensation 

paid to that employee by all railroad 

employers for whom the employee 

worked after 1936. This record, which is 

used by the RRB to determine eligibility 

for, and amount of, benefits due under 

the laws it administers, is conclusive as 

to the amount of compensation paid to 

an employee during such period(s) 

covered by the report(s) of the 

compensation by the employee’s 

railroad employer(s), except in cases 

when an employee files a protest 

pertaining to his or her reported 

compensation within the statute of 

limitations cited in Section 9 of the RRA 

and Section 6 of the RUIA. 

To enable the RRB to establish and 

maintain the record of compensation, 

employers are required to file with the 

RRB, in such manner and form and at 

such times as the RRB prescribes, 

reports of compensation of employees. 

Railroad Employers’ Reports and 

Responsibilities are prescribed in 20 

CFR 209. The RRB utilizes Form BA–3, 

Annual Report of Compensation and 

Form BA–4, Report of Creditable 

Compensation Adjustments, to secure 

required information from railroad 

employers. Form BA–3 provides the 

RRB with information regarding annual 

creditable service and compensation for 

each individual who worked for a 

railroad employer covered by the RRA 

and RUIA in a given year. Form BA–4 

provides for the adjustment of any 

previously submitted reports and also 

the opportunity to provide any service 

and compensation that had been 

previously omitted. Requirements 

specific to Forms BA–3 and BA–4 are 

prescribed in 20 CFR 209.8 and 209.9. 

Employers currently have the option 

of submitting the reports for the 

aforementioned forms, electronically by 

File Transfer Protocol (FTP), secure 

E-mail or via the Internet utilizing the 

RRB’s Employer Reporting System (ERS) 

(for Form BA–4), or in like format on 

magnetic tape cartridges or CD–ROM. 

The RRB proposes no changes to Form 

BA–3 or BA–4. 

The information collection also 

includes RRB Form BA–12, Application 

for Employer Reporting Internet Access 

and Form G–440, Report Specifications 

Sheet. Form BA–12 is completed by 

railroad employers to obtain system 

access to the RRB’s Employer Reporting 

System (ERS). Once access is obtained, 

authorized employees may submit 

reporting forms to the RRB via the 

Internet. The form determines what 

degree of access (view/only, data entry/ 

modification or approval/submission) is 

appropriate for that employee. It is also 

used to terminate an employee’s access 

to ERS. The RRB proposes no changes 

to Form BA–12. Form G–440, Report 

Specifications Sheet, serves as a 

certification document for various RRB 

employer reporting forms (Forms BA–3, 

BA–4, Form BA–6a, BA–6, Address 

Report (OMB 3220–0005), BA–9, Report 

of Separation Allowance or Severance 

Pay (OMB 3220–0173) and BA–11, 

Report of Gross Earnings (OMB 3220– 

0132)). It records the type of medium 

the report was submitted on, and serves 

as a summary recapitulation sheet for 

reports filed on paper. The RRB 

proposes no changes to Form G–440. 

Submission of Form BA–3, BA–4, and 

G–440 is mandatory. Completion of 

Form BA–12 is voluntary. It is 

completed only if an employer wants to 

submit reports via the Internet. One 

response is requested of each 

respondent for all of the forms in the 

collection. Depending on circumstances 

and method of submission chosen, 

multiple responses will be received 

from a respondent for Form BA–4 and 

G–440.

3. Title and Purpose of Information 

Collection: 3220–0022, Application and 

Claim for Unemployment Benefits and 

Employment Service. 

Section 2 of the Railroad 

Unemployment Insurance Act (RUIA), 

provides unemployment benefits for 

qualified railroad employees. These 

benefits are generally payable for each 

day of unemployment in excess of four 

during a registration period (normally a 

period of 14 days). 

Section 12 of the RUIA provides that 

the RRB establish, maintain and operate 

free employment facilities directed 

toward the reemployment of railroad 

employees. The procedures for applying 

for the unemployment benefits and 

employment service and for registering 

and claiming the benefits are prescribed 

in 20 CFR part 325. 

The RRB utilizes the following forms 

to collect the information necessary to 

pay unemployment benefits: Form UI–1 

(or its Internet equivalent, Form UI–1 

(Internet)), Application for 

Unemployment Benefits and 

Employment Service, is completed by a 

claimant for unemployment benefits 

once in a benefit year, at the time of first 

registration. Completion of Form UI–1 

or UI–1 (Internet) also registers an 

unemployment claimant for the RRB’s 

employment service. The RRB proposes 

no changes to Form UI–1 or UI–1 

(Internet). 

The RRB also utilizes Form UI–3, (or 

its Internet equivalent Form UI–3 

(Internet)) Claim for Unemployment 

Benefits for use in claiming 

unemployment benefits for days of 

unemployment in a particular 

registration period, normally a period of 

14 days. The RRB proposes no changes 

to Form UI–3 or UI–3 (Internet). 

Completion of Forms UI–1, 

UI–1 (Internet), UI–3 and UI–3 (Internet) 

is required to obtain or retain benefits. 

The number of responses required of 

each claimant varies, depending on 

their period of unemployment.

4. Title and Purpose of Information 

Collection: 3220–0132, Gross Earnings 

Report. 

In order to carry out the financial 

interchange provisions of section 7(c)(2) 

of the Railroad Retirement Act (RRA), 

the RRB obtains annually from railroad 

employers the gross earnings for their 

employees on a one-percent basis, i.e., 

1% of each employer’s railroad 

employees. The gross earnings sample is 

based on the earnings of employees 

whose social security numbers end with 

the digits ‘‘30.’’ The gross earnings are 

used to compute payroll taxes under the 

financial interchange. 

The gross earnings information is 

essential in determining the tax 

amounts involved in the financial 

interchange with the Social Security 

Administration and Centers for 

Medicare and Medicaid Services. 

Besides being necessary for current 

financial interchange calculations, the 

gross earnings file tabulations are also 

an integral part of the data needed to 

estimate future tax income and 

corresponding financial interchange 

amounts. These estimates are made for 

internal use and to satisfy requests from 

mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES

80864 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 246 / Thursday, December 23, 2010 / Notices 

other government agencies and 

interested groups. In addition, cash flow 

projections of the social security 

equivalent benefit account, railroad 

retirement account and cost estimates 

made for proposed amendments to laws 

administered by the RRB are dependent 

on input developed from the 

information collection. 

The RRB utilizes Form BA–11 or its 

electronic equivalent(s) to obtain gross 

earnings information from railroad 

employers. Employers have the option 

of preparing and submitting BA–11 

reports on paper, (or in like format) on 

magnetic tape cartridges, CD–ROM, File 

Transfer Protocol (FTP) or secure e-mail. 

Completion is mandatory. One response 

is required of each respondent. The RRB 

proposes no changes to Form BA–11.

5. Title and Purpose of Information 

Collection: 3220–0173, Railroad 

Separation Allowance or Severance Pay 

Report. 

Section 6 of the Railroad Retirement 

Act provides for a lump-sum payment to 

an employee or the employee’s 

survivors equal to the Tier II taxes paid 

by the employee on a separation 

allowance or severance payment for 

which the employee did not receive 

credits toward retirement. The lumpsum is not payable until retirement 

benefits begin to accrue or the employee 

dies. Also, Section 4(a–1)(iii) of the 

Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act 

provides that a railroad employee who 

is paid a separation allowance is 

disqualified for unemployment and 

sickness benefits for the period of time 

the employee would have to work to 

earn the amount of the allowance. The 

reporting requirements are specified in 

20 CFR 209.14. In order to calculate and 

provide payments, the Railroad 

Retirement Board (RRB) must collect 

and maintain records of separation 

allowances and severance payments 

which were subject to Tier II taxation 

from railroad employers. The RRB uses 

Form BA–9 to obtain information from 

railroad employers concerning the 

separation allowances and severance 

payments made to railroad employees 

and/or the survivors of railroad 

employees. Employers currently have 

the option of submitting a paper BA–9, 

(or in like format) a magnetic tape 

cartridge, CD–ROM, electronically by 

File Transfer Protocol (FTP) or secure Email. Completion is mandatory. One 

response is requested of each 

respondent. The RRB proposes no 

changes to Form BA–9.
