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.
30786 Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 108 / Friday, June 5, 1998 / Notices

Title and Purpose of information

collection: Statement Regarding

Contributions and Support of Children,

Proposed RRB Form G–139.

Section 2(d)(4) of the Railroad

Retirement Act (RRA), provides, in part,

that a child is deemed dependent if the

conditions set forth in Section 202(d)

(3), (4) and (9) of the Social Security Act

are met. In accordance with

amendments to the Social Security Act

(section 104 of Public Law 104–21) the

RRB amended its regulations to

eliminate the ‘‘living-with’’ requirement

(as an alternative to actual dependency)

as a basis for eligibility for an annuity

as the stepchild of a railroad employee,

and also to provide for the termination

of the inclusion of a stepchild in the

computation of the social security

overall minimum guarantee provision

when the stepparent’s marriage to the

natural parent is terminated.

The regulations outlining child

support and dependency requirements

are prescribed in 20 CFR 222.50.

Prior to the amendments to the Social

Security Act, almost all child

dependency determinations were

‘‘deemed’’ based on a child living with

the railroad employee. To determine

entitlement based on actual

dependency, the RRB must solicit

financial information regarding a child’s

means of support. A comparison is then

made between the amount of support

received from the railroad employee and

the amount received from other sources.

The RRB proposes to use Form G–139,

Statement Regarding Contributions and

Support of Children, to collect

information needed to adequately

determine if the child meets the

dependency requirement.

Completion will be required to obtain

a benefit. One response is required of

each respondent.

The RRB estimates that 1,000 Form

G–139’s will be completed annually.

The completion time is estimated at 15

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.

Clearance Officer.

(telephone (202) 942–8090).

Applicants’ Representations

1. The Fund is a Maryland

corporation that is registered under the

Act as a non-diversified, closed-end

management investment company.

2. Barclays Global Investors

International, Inc. (‘‘BGII’’), an

investment adviser registered under the

Investment Advisers Act of 1940, serves

as an investment adviser to the Fund

pursuant to an investment advisory

contract (‘‘Current Agreement’’). BGII is

a wholly-owned subsidiary of Barclays

USA, Inc., which in turn is a whollyowned subsidiary of Barclays. BGII

provides advisory services to the Fund

through persons based in Hong Kong

who are associated both with BGII and

with BGIHK, which is also a subsidiary

of Barclays (‘‘BGIHK Personnel’’).

3. On May 12, 1998, Barclays and

AIM entered into an agreement pursuant

to which Barclays will sell BGIHK to

AIM (‘‘Transaction’’). Upon

consummation of the Transaction,

BGIHK will be renamed ‘‘AXA

Investment Managers Hong Kong

Limited,’’ and the BGIHK Personnel will

become associated with AAM–P. AAM–

P is a wholly-owned subsidiary of AIM,

which in turn is the global investment

arm of AXA Group. AAM–P will be

providing investment advisory services

to the Fund pursuant to a new

investment advisory contract (‘‘New

Agreement’’). Applicants expect

consummation of the Transaction

during the first week of June, 1998.

4. Applicants believe that the

Transaction will result in a transfer of

the Current Agreement from Barclays

and its affiliates to AIM and its affiliates

and, therefore, that there could be an

assignment, and thus automatic

termination, of the Current Agreement.

Applicants request an exemption to

permit (i) the implementation, during

the Interim Period and prior to
