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 forwarding 

an Information Collection Request (ICR) 

to the Office of Information and 

Regulatory Affairs (OIRA), Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB). Our 

ICRdescribes 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 the RRB or OIRA must 

contain the OMB control number of the 

ICR. For proper consideration of your 

comments, it is best if the RRB and 

OIRA receive them within 30 days of 

the publication date. 

1. Title and purpose of information 

collection: Application for Benefits Due 

But Unpaid at Death; OMB 3220–0055. 

Under Section 2(g) of the Railroad 

Unemployment Insurance Act, benefits 

that accrued but were not paid because 

of the death of the employee shall be 

paid to the same individual(s) to whom 

benefits are payable under Section 

6(a)(1) of the Railroad Retirement Act. 

The provisions relating to the payment 

of such benefits are prescribed in 20 

CFR 325.5 and 20 CFR 335.5. 

The RRB provides Form UI–63, 

Application for Benefits Due But 

Unpaid at Death, to those applying for 

the accrued sickness or unemployment 

benefits unpaid at the death of the 

employee and for obtaining the 

information needed to identify the 

proper payee. One response is requested 

of each respondent. Completion is 

required to obtain a benefit. 

Previous Requests for Comments: The 

RRB has already published the initial 

60-day notice (79 FR 66002 on 

November 6, 2014) required by 44 

U.S.C. 3506(c)(2). That request elicited 

no comments.

2. Title and Purpose of information 

collection: Medicare; OMB 3220–0082. 

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. 

Further, in order to determine if a 

qualified railroad retirement beneficiary 

who is claiming supplementary medical 

insurance coverage under Medicare is 

entitled to a Special Enrollment Period 

(SEP) and/or premium surcharge relief 

because of coverage under an Employer 

Group Health Plan (EGHP), the RRB 

needs to obtain information regarding 

the claimant’s EGHP coverage, if any. 

The RRB uses Form RL–311–F, 

Evidence of Coverage Under An 

Employer Group Health Plan, to obtain 

the basic information needed to 

establish EGHP coverage for a qualified 

railroad retirement beneficiary. 

Completion of the forms is required to 

obtain a benefit. One response is 

requested of each respondent. 

Previous Requests for Comments: The 

RRB has already published the initial 

60-day notice (79 FR 66003 on 

November 6, 2014) required by 44 

U.S.C. 3506(c)(2). That request elicited 

no comments.

change of a currently approved 

collection. 

Affected public: Individuals or 

Households; Businesses or other for 

profits. 

Abstract: The Railroad Retirement 

Board administers the Medicare 

program for persons covered by the 

railroad retirement system. The forms in 

the collection obtain both information 

needed to enroll non-retired employees 

and survivor applicants in the plan and 

information from railroad employers 

needed to determine if a railroad 

retirement beneficiary is entitled to a 

special enrollment period when 

applying for supplemental medical 

coverage under Medicare. 

Changes proposed: The RRB proposes 

no changes to Forms AA–6, AA–7, AA– 

8 or RL–311–F. 

The burden estimate for the ICR is as 

follows:

3. Title and Purpose of information 

collection: Request to Non-Railroad 

Employer for Information About 

Annuitant’s Work and Earnings; OMB 

3220–0107. 

Under Section 2 of the Railroad 

Retirement Act (RRA), a railroad 

employee’s retirement annuity or an 

annuity paid to the spouse of a railroad 

employee is subject to work deductions 

in the Tier II component of the annuity 

and any employee supplemental 

annuity for any month in which the 

annuitant works for a Last PreRetirement Non-Railroad Employer 

(LPE). The LPE is defined as the last 

person, company, or institution, other 

than a railroad employer, that employed 

an employee or spouse annuitant. In 

addition, the employee, spouse, or 

divorced spouse Tier I annuity benefit is 

subject to work deductions under 

Section 2(f)(1) of the RRA for earnings 

from any non-railroad employer that are 

over the annual exempt amount. The 

regulations pertaining to non-payment 

of annuities by reason of work and LPE 

are contained in 20 CFR 230.1 and 

230.2. 

The RRB utilizes Form RL–231–F, 

Request to Non-Railroad Employer for 

Information About Annuitant’s Work 

and Earnings, to obtain the information 

needed to determine if a work 

deduction should be applied because an 

annuitant worked in non-railroad 

employment after the annuity beginning 

date. One response is requested of each 

respondent. Completion is voluntary. 

Previous Requests for Comments: The 

RRB has already published the initial 

60-day notice (79 FR 66003 on 

November 6, 2014) required by 44 

U.S.C. 3506(c)(2). That request elicited 

no comments. 

Information Collection Request (ICR) 

Title: Request to Non-Railroad 

Employer for Information About 

Annuitant’s Work and Earnings. 

OMB Control Number: 3220–0107. 

Form(s) submitted: RL–231–F. 

Type of request: Extension without 

change of a currently approved 

collection. 

Affected public: Private Sector; 

Businesses or other for-profits, Not-forprofit institutions. 

Abstract: Under the Railroad 

Retirement Act (RRA), benefits are not 

payable if an annuitant works for an 

employer covered under the RRA or last 

non-railroad employer. The collection 

obtains information regarding an 

annuitant’s work and earnings from a 

non-railroad employer. The information 

is used to determine whether benefits 

should be withheld. 

Changes proposed: The RRB proposes 

no changes to Form RL–231–F.

4. Title and Purpose of information 

collection: Gross Earnings Report; OMB 

3220–0132. 

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 

employer’s 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 

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 to 

obtain gross earnings information from 

railroad employers. Employers have the 

option of preparing and submitting BA– 

11 reports online via the RRB’s 

Employer Reporting System or on paper 

(or in like format) on magnetic tape 

cartridges, by File Transfer Protocol 

(FTP), or secure Email. The online BA– 

11 includes the option to file a 

‘‘negative report’’ (no employees, or no 

employees with the digits ‘‘30’’). 

Completion is mandatory. One response 

is requested of each respondent. 

Previous Requests for Comments: The 

RRB has already published the initial 

60-day notice (79 FR 66003 on 

November 6, 2014) required by 44 

U.S.C. 3506(c)(2). That request elicited 

no comments.

Affected public: Private Sector; 

Businesses or other for-profits. 

Abstract: Section 7(c)(2) of the 

Railroad Retirement Act requires a 

financial interchange between the 

OASDHI trust funds and the railroad 

retirement account. The collection 

obtains gross earnings of railway 

employees on a 1% basis. The 

information is used to determine the 

amount which would place the OASDHI

trust funds in the position they would 

have been if railroad service had been 

covered by the Social Security and FIC 

Acts. 

Changes proposed: The RRB proposes 

to formally eliminate the paper and

collection.
