RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD


Proposed Collection, Comment Request

SUMMARY: 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 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.
    Title and Purpose of information collection: Designation of Contact 
Officials; 3220-0200.
    Coordination between railroad employers and the RRB is essential to 
properly administer the payment of benefits under the Railroad 
Retirement Act (RRA) and the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act 
(RUIA). In order to enhance timely coordination activity, the RRB 
utilizes Form G-117a, Designation of Contact Officials. Form G-117a is 
used by railroad employers to designate employees who are to act as 
point of contact with the RRB on a variety of RRA and RUIA-related 
matters.
    The RRB estimates that about 100 G-117a's will be submitted 
annually. Completion is voluntary. One response is requested from each 
respondent. Completion time is estimated at 15 minutes. No changes are 
proposed to Form G-117a.
    Additional Information or Comments: To request more information or 
to obtain a copy of the information collection justification, forms, 
and/or supporting material, please call the RRB Clearance Officer at 
(312) 751-3363 or send an E-mail request to <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#93d0fbf2e1fff6e0bddefaf6e1e9e4f2d3c1c1d1bdd4dcc5"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="1d5e757c6f71786e335074786f676a7c5d4f4f5f335a524b">[email protected]</span></a>.
