BILLING CODE 7590–01–M

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.

Title and Purpose of Information

Collection

Application and Claim for

Unemployment Benefits and

Employment Service, OMB 3220–0022.

Section 2 of the Railroad

Unemployment Insurance Act (RUIA),

provides unemployment benefits for

qualified railroad employees. These

benefits are generally payable for each

day of unemployment in excess of four

during a registration period (normally a

period of 14 days). Section 12 of the

RUIA provides that the RRB establish,

maintain and operate free employment

facilities directed toward the

reemployment of railroad employees.

The procedures for applying for the

unemployment benefits and

employment service and for registering

and claiming the benefits are prescribed

in 20 CFR 325.

RRB Form UI–1, Application for

Unemployment Benefits, and

Employment Service, is completed by a

claimant for unemployment benefits

once in a benefit year, at the time of first

registration. Completion of Form UI–1

also registers an unemployment

claimant for the RRB’s employment

service. No changes are being proposed

to Form UI–1.

The RRB also utilizes Form UI–3,

Claim for Unemployment Benefits, for

use in claiming unemployment benefits

for days of unemployment in a

particular registration period, normally

a period of 14 days. The RRB proposes

to revise Form UI–3 to incorporate

changes required by the Railroad

Unemployment Insurance Amendments

Act of 1996. The changes include the

addition of a new item to provide the

RRB with information regarding a

claimant’s gross wages or other pay for

days during the 14-day registration

period. Effective with the 1996

amendments, an earnings test applies to

each 14-day claim period and

information about the claimant’s gross

wages or other pay is needed to

determine the claimant’s eligibility for

benefits. The explanation of the waiting

period printed on the claim has also

been revised because the 1996

amendments changed the waiting

period requirement from 14 days to 7

days.

Completion of Forms UI–1 and UI–3

is required to obtain or retain benefits.

The number of responses required to

each claimant varies, depending on

their period of unemployment. The RRB

estimates that approximately 29,000

Form UI–1’s are filed annually.

Completion time is estimated at 10

minutes. The RRB estimates that

approximately 265,000 Form UI–3’s are

filed annually. Completion time is

estimated at 6 minutes.

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.

Comments regarding the information

collection should be addressed to

Ronald J. Hodapp, Railroad Retirement

Board, 844 N. Rush Street, Chicago,

Illinois 60611–2092. Written comments

should be received within 60 days of

this notice.

Chuck Mierzwa,

Clearance Officer.
