chapter 35), as amended by the ClingerCohen Act (Pub. L. 104–106), OPM is 

soliciting comments for this collection. 

The previous collection (OMB No. 

3206–0252, published in the Federal 

Register on May 27, 2021 at 86 FR 

28645) has a clearance that expires May 

3, 2022. Comments are particularly 

invited on: 

1. Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

2. Whether our estimate of the public 

burden of this collection is accurate, 

and based on valid assumptions and 

methodology; and 

3. Ways in which we can minimize 

the burden of the collection of 

information on those who are to 

respond, through the use of the 

appropriate technological collection 

techniques or other forms of information 

technology. 

OPM’s Human Resources Strategy and 

Evaluation Solutions performs 

assessment and related consultation 

activities for Federal agencies on a 

reimbursable basis. The assessments are 

authorized by various statutes and 

regulations: Section 4702 of Title 5, 

U.S.C.; E.O. 12862; E.O. 13715; Section 

1128 of the National Defense

focused on improving organizational 

performance. Non-Federal respondents 

will almost never receive more than one 

of these surveys. All of these surveys 

consist of Likert-type, mark-one, and 

mark-all-that-apply items, and may 

include a small number of open-ended 

comment items. The surveys included 

under OMB No. 3206–0252 are almost 

always administered electronically.

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 (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 

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. 

1. Title and purpose of information 

collection: Employer’s Quarterly Report 

of Contributions under the Railroad 

Unemployment Insurance Act; OMB 

3220–0012. 

Under Section 8 of the Railroad 

Unemployment Insurance Act (RUIA) 

(45 U.S.C. 231g), as amended by the 

Railroad Unemployment Improvement 

Act of 1988 (Pub. L. 100–647), the RRB 

determines the amount of an employer’s 

contribution, primarily on the basis of 

the RUIA benefits paid, both 

unemployment and sickness, to the 

employees of the railroad employer. 

These experienced-based contributions 

take into account the frequency, 

volume, and duration of the employees’ 

unemployment and sickness benefits. 

Each employer’s contribution rate 

includes a component for administrative 

expenses as well as a component to 

cover costs shared by all employers. The 

regulations prescribing the manner and 

conditions for remitting the 

contributions and for adjusting 

overpayments or underpayments of 

contributions are contained in 20 CFR 

345.

RRB Form DC–1, Employer’s 

Quarterly Report of Contributions under 

the Railroad Unemployment Insurance 

Act, is used by railroad employers to 

report and remit their quarterly 

contributions to the RRB. Employers can 

use either the manual version of the 

form or its internet equivalent. One 

response is requested quarterly of each 

respondent and completion is 

mandatory. The RRB proposes no 

changes to the manual and electronic 

versions of Form DC–1.

2. Title and purpose of information 

collection: Application for Survivor 

Death Benefits; OMB 3220–0031. 

Under Section 6 of the Railroad 

Retirement Act (RRA) (45 U.S.C. 231e), 

lump-sum death benefits are payable to 

surviving widow(er)s, children, and 

certain other dependents. Lump-sum 

death benefits are payable after the 

death of a railroad employee only if 

there are no qualified survivors of the 

employee immediately eligible for 

annuities. With the exception of the 

residual death benefit, eligibility for 

survivor benefits depends on whether 

the deceased employee was ‘‘insured’’ 

under the RRA at the time of death. If 

the deceased employee was not insured, 

jurisdiction of any survivor benefits 

payable is transferred to the Social 

Security Administration and survivor 

benefits are paid by that agency instead 

of the RRB. The requirements for 

applying for benefits are prescribed in 

20 CFR 217, 219, and 234. 

The collection obtains the information 

required by the RRB to determine 

entitlement to and amount of the 

survivor death benefits applied for. To 

collect the information, the RRB uses 

Forms AA–21, Application for LumpSum Death Payment and Annuities 

Unpaid at Death; AA–21cert, 

Application Summary and Certification; 

G–131, Authorization of Payment and 

Release of All Claims to a Death Benefit 

or Accrued Annuity Payment; and G– 

273a, Funeral Director’s Statement of 

Burial Charges. One response is 

requested of each respondent. 

Completion is required to obtain 

benefits. 

The RRB proposes the following 

changes to Forms AA–21and G–273a: 

• Forms AA–21 and—add the RRB 

headquarters mailing address in Section 

10, How to Return Your Application, of 

Form AA–21 in order to provide address 

information for returning completed 

forms. 

• Form G–273a—add the RRB 

headquarters mailing address to the last 

sentence of the second paragraph of 

Form G–273a above Item 1, Date of 

Death, in order to provide address 

information for returning completed 

forms. 

The RRB proposes no changes to 

Form AA-cert or Form G–131.

3. Title and purpose of information 

collection: Application for Spouse 

Annuity under the Railroad Retirement 

Act; OMB 3220–0042. 

Section 2(c) of the Railroad 

Retirement Act (RRA) (45 U.S.C. 231a), 

provides for the payment of annuities to 

spouses of railroad retirement 

annuitants who meet the requirements 

under the RRA. The age requirements 

for a spouse annuity depend on the 

employee’s age, date of retirement, and 

years of railroad service. The 

requirements relating to the annuities 

are prescribed in 20 CFR 216, 218, 219, 

232, 234, and 295. 

To collect the information needed to 

help determine an applicant’s 

entitlement to, and the amount of, a 

spouse annuity the RRB uses non-OMB 

Form AA–3, Application for Spouse/ 

Divorced Spouse Annuity, and 

electronic OMB Forms AA–3cert, 

Application Summary and Certification, 

and AA–3sum, Application Summary. 

The AA–3 application process gathers 

information from an applicant about 

their marital history, work history, 

benefits from other government 

agencies, and Medicare entitlement for 

a spouse annuity. An RRB 

representative interviews the applicant 

either at a field office (preferred), an 

itinerant point, or by telephone. During 

the interview, the RRB representative 

enters the information obtained into an 

on-line information system. Upon 

completion of the interview, the system 

generates, for the applicant’s review, 

either Form AA–3cert or AA–3sum, 

which is a summary of the information 

that the applicant provided or verified. 

Form AA–3cert, Application Summary 

and Certification, requires a traditional 

pen and ink ‘‘wet’’ signature. Form AA– 

3sum, Application Summary, 

documents an alternate signing method 

called ‘‘Attestation,’’ which is an action 

taken by the RRB representative to 

confirm and annotate in the RRB 

records (1) the applicant’s intent to file 

an application; (2) the applicant’s 

affirmation under penalty of perjury that 

the information provided is correct; and 

(3) the applicant’s agreement to sign the 

application by proxy. When the RRB 

representative is unable to contact the

4. Title and purpose of information 

collection: Statement of Claimant or 

Other Person; OMB 3220–0183. 

To support an application for an 

annuity under Section 2 of the Railroad 

Retirement Act (RRA) (45 U.S.C. 231a) 

or for unemployment benefits under 

Section 2 of the Railroad 

Unemployment Insurance Act (RUIA) 

(45 U.S.C. 352), pertinent information 

and proofs must be furnished for the 

RRB to determine benefit entitlement. 

Circumstances may require an applicant 

or other person(s) having knowledge of 

facts relevant to the applicant’s 

eligibility for an annuity or benefits to 

provide written statements 

supplementing or changing statements 

previously provided by the applicant. 

Under the railroad retirement program 

these statements may relate to a change 

in an annuity beginning date(s), date of 

marriage(s), birth(s), prior railroad or 

non-railroad employment, an 

applicant’s request for reconsideration 

of an unfavorable RRB eligibility 

determination for an annuity or various 

other matters. The statements may also 

be used by the RRB to secure a variety 

of information needed to determine 

eligibility to unemployment and 

sickness benefits. Procedures related to 

providing information needed for RRA 

annuity or RUIA benefit eligibility 

determinations are prescribed in 20 CFR 

217 and 320 respectively. 

The RRB utilizes Form G–93, 

Statement of Claimant or Other Person, 

to obtain from applicants or other 

persons, the supplemental or corrective 

information needed to determine 

applicant eligibility for an RRA annuity 

or RUIA benefits. Completion is 

voluntary. One response is requested of 

each respondent. The RRB proposes no 

changes to Form G–93.
