in the Federal Register. In order to 

ensure the appropriate consideration, 

comments should reference the OMB 

Control Number (see below). 

The OMB is particularly interested in 

comments which: 

• Evaluate whether the proposed 

information collection requirements are 

necessary for the proper performance of 

the Agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

• Evaluate the accuracy of the 

Agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

• Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

• Minimize the burden of the 

collections of information on those who 

are to respond including through the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submission of 

responses. 

Agency: Occupational Safety and 

Health Administration. 

Type of Review: Extension without 

change of a previously approved 

collection. 

Title of Collection: Additional 

Requirements for Special Dipping and 

Coating Operations (Dip Tanks) (29 CFR 

1910.126(g)(4)). 

OMB Control Number: 1218–0237. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofits. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 1. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 1. 

Estimated Total Annual Costs Burden 

(excludes hourly wage costs): $0. 

Description: Displaying the Minimum 

Safe Distance (§ 1910.126(g)(4))—This 

provision requires the employer to 

determine how far away goods being 

electrostatically deteared should be 

separated from electrodes or conductors. 

This distance is called the ‘‘safe 

distance.’’ This minimum distance must 

be displayed conspicuously on a sign 

located near the equipment. OSHA has 

determined that where electrostatic 

equipment is being used, the 

information has already been 

ascertained and that the ‘‘safe distance’’ 

has been displayed on a sign in a 

permanent manner.

related notice published in the Federal 

Register on April 5, 2010, (Vol. 75, page 

17162).

RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD 

Proposed Data Collection(s) Available 

for Public Comment and 

Recommendations 

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 (RRB) will publish periodic 

summaries of proposed data collections. 

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether 

the proposed information collections are 

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 for 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. 

1. Title and Purpose of Information 

Collection 

Public Service Pension Questionnaires; 

OMB 3220–0136 

Public Law 95–216 amended the 

Social Security Act of 1977 by 

providing, in part, that spouse or 

survivor benefits may be reduced when 

the beneficiary is in receipt of a pension 

based on employment with a Federal, 

State, or local governmental unit. 

Initially, the reduction was equal to the 

full amount of the government pension. 

Public Law 98–21 changed the 

reduction to two-thirds of the amount of 

the government pension. Public Law 

108–203 amended the Social Security 

Act by changing the requirement for 

exemption to public service offset, that 

Federal Insurance Contributions Act 

(FICA) taxes be deducted from the 

public service wages for the last 60 

months of public service employment, 

rather than just the last day of public 

service employment. 

Sections 4(a)(1) and 4(f)(1) of the 

Railroad Retirement Act (RRA) provides 

that a spouse or survivor annuity should 

be equal in amount to what the 

annuitant would receive if entitled to a 

like benefit from the Social Security 

Administration. Therefore, the public 

service pension (PSP) provisions apply 

to RRA annuities. RRB Regulations 

pertaining to the collection of evidence 

relating to public service pensions or 

worker’s compensation paid to spouse 

or survivor applicants or annuitants are 

found in 20 CFR 219.64c. 

The RRB utilizes Form G–208, Public 

Service Pension Questionnaire, and 

Form G–212, Public Service Monitoring 

Questionnaire, to obtain information 

used to determine whether an annuity 

reduction is in order. Completion of the 

forms is voluntary. However, failure to 

complete the forms could result in the 

nonpayment of benefits. One response is 

requested of each respondent. 

The RRB proposes a non-burden 

impacting editorial change for 

clarification purposes to Form G–208 

and no changes to Form G–212. The 

completion time for the G–208 is 

estimated at 16 minutes and the G–212 

is estimated at 15 minutes. The RRB 

estimates that approximately 70 Form 

G–208’s and 1,100 Form G–212’s are 

completed annually. 

2. Title and Purpose of Information 

Collection 

Self-Employment and Substantial 

Service Questionnaire; OMB 3220–0138 

Section 2 of the Railroad Retirement 

Act (RRA) provides for payment of 

annuities to qualified employees and 

their spouses. In order to receive an age 

and service annuity, Section 2(e)(3) 

states that an applicant must stop all 

railroad work and give up any rights to 

return to such work. However, 

applicants are not required to stop nonrailroad work or self-employment. 

The RRB considers some work 

claimed as ‘‘self-employment’’ to 

actually be employment for an 

employer. Whether the RRB classifies a 

particular activity as self-employment or 

as work for an employer depends upon 

the circumstances of each case. These 

circumstances are prescribed in 20 CFR 

part 216. 

Under the 1988 amendments to the 

RRA, an applicant is no longer required 

to stop work for a ‘‘Last Pre-Retirement 

Nonrailroad Employer’’(LPE). However, 

section 2(f)(6) of the RRA requires that 

a portion of the employee’s Tier II 

benefit and supplemental annuity be 

deducted for earnings from a ‘‘LPE’’ 

employer. 

‘‘LPE’’ is defined as the last person, 

company or institution with whom the 

employee or spouse applicant was 

employed concurrently with, or after, 

the applicant’s last railroad employment 

and before their annuity beginning date. 

If a spouse never worked for a railroad, 

the LPE employer is the last person for 

whom he or she worked. 

The RRB utilizes Form AA–4, SelfEmployment and Substantial Service 

Questionnaire, when an applicant 

claims to be self-employed to obtain 

information needed to determine if the 

applicant’s work is LPE, railroad service 

or self-employment. If the work is selfemployment, the questionnaire 

identifies any months in which the 

applicant did not perform substantial 

service. One response is requested of 

each respondent. Completion is 

voluntary. However, failure to complete
