which provides opportunity for public

comment on new or revised data

collections, the Railroad Retirement

Board (RRB) 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

Title and purpose of information

Under Section 7(d) of the Railroad

Retirement Act (RRA), 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 filed for benefits under the

RRA are qualified for Medicare

payments provided under Title XVIII of

the Social Security Act. Completion is

required to obtain a benefit. One

response is requested of each

respondent.

The RRB proposes a minor editorial

change to Forms AA–6, AA–7 and AA–

8 to incorporate language required by

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.

The RRB estimates that 180 Form AA–

6’s, 50 Form AA–7’s, and 10 Form AA–

8’s are completed annually. The

completion time for all three forms is

estimated at 8 minutes.
