the collection of information on

respondents, including the use of

automated collection techniques or

other forms of information technology.

Title and purpose of information

collection: Vocational Report; OMB

3220–0141.

Section 2 of the Railroad Retirement

Act (RRA) provides for payment of

disability annuities to qualified

employees and widow(ers). The

establishment of permanent disability

for work in the applicants ‘‘regular

occupation’’ or for work in any regular

employment is prescribed in 20 CFR

220.12 and 220.13 respectively.

The RRB utilizes Form G–251,

Vocational Report, to obtain an

applicant’s work history. This

information is used by the RRB to

determine the effect of a disability on an

applicant’s ability to work. Form G–251

is designed for use with the RRB’s

disability benefit application forms and

is provided to all applicants for

employee disability annuities and to

those applicants for a widow(er)’s

disability annuity who indicate that

they have been employed at some time.

Completion is required to obtain or

retain a benefit. One response is

requested of each respondent.

The RRB proposed non-burden

impacting formatting and editorial

changes to Form G–251. The completion

time for Form G–251 is estimated at

between thirty and 40 minutes per

response. The RRB estimates that

approximately 6,000 Form G–251’s are

completed annually.
