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: Employer Service and

Compensation Reports; OMB 3220–0070

Section 2(c) of the Railroad

Unemployment Insurance Act (RUIA)

specifies the maximum normal

unemployment and sickness benefits

that may be paid in a benefit year.

Section 2(c) further provides for

extended benefits for certain employees

and for beginning a benefit year early for

other employees. The conditions for

these actions are prescribed in 20 CFR

302.

All information about creditable

railroad service and compensation

needed by the RRB to administer

Section 2(c) is not always available from

annual reports filed by railroad

employers with the RRB (OMB 3220–

0008). When this occurs, the RRB must

obtain supplemental information about

service and compensation.

The RRB utilizes Form UI–41,

Supplemental Report of Service and

Compensation, and Form UI–41a,

Supplemental Report of Compensation,

to obtain the additional information

about service and compensation from

railroad employers. Completion of the

forms is mandatory. One response is

required of each respondent. The RRB

proposes to revise Form UI–41 and UI–

41a to add language required by the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.

Minor editorial changes are also

proposed. The completion time for

Form UI–41 and UI–41a is estimated at

8 minutes per response.

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 on or before June 22,

1998.

Chuck Mierzwa,

Clearance Officer.
