35804 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 113 / Monday, June 13, 2022 / Notices 

2022–05654,’’ submitted by the United States Postal 

Service Office of Inspector General. 

4 In response to comments, entitled ‘‘Public 

Comment on SORN for Informed Delivery FR Doc. 

2022–05654,’’ submitted by the United States Postal 

Service Office of Inspector General. 

regarding whether third party disclosure 

of information is permitted in order to 

pursue an investigation. Additionally, 

in this comment the Office of Inspector 

General requests a routine use allowing 

third party disclosure of information 

pursuant to an investigation. 

Answer: The question posed by the 

Office of Inspector General is whether 

the disclosure of some information from 

this SOR to the Office of Inspector 

General authorizes them to ‘‘share 

Informed Delivery information with 

third parties to investigate the 

customer’s complaint.’’ Unfortunately, 

this request is for a generalized legal 

opinion, absent the factual support of a 

scenario. Such an opinion cannot be 

provided. 

As discussed in response to comment 

number 2, three authorized disclosures 

already exist that allow information to 

be shared for law enforcement purposes. 

However, merely being authorized to 

provide the data to the Office of 

Inspector General does not end the 

inquiry. An independent inquiry must 

be made of whether this particular third 

party has a need to know the 

information. Determining the need to 

know of a particular party is a fact 

specific determination. As a result, the 

need to know for a particular class of 

individuals, absent knowledge of the 

particular factual circumstances, cannot 

be answered in the abstract. 

The request for a generalized routine 

use to further disclose information 

disclosed from a system of record 

pursuant to a different routine use, to a 

generalized class of individuals is 

equally untenable. It is not possible to 

ensure that the entire class is 

appropriate for disclosure. As a result, 

the class does not comport with the 

strictures required by the Privacy Act 

and cannot be entertained. 

4. Comment 4: 4 The Office of 

Inspector General asks two questions to 

ascertain whether mailpiece images are 

personally identifiable information as 

defined in the Privacy Act. 

Answer: To fully respond to this 

question, it is necessary to discuss the 

exact nature of a record that would be 

subject to the Privacy Act. A record is 

subject to the Privacy Act if it is a 

‘‘record which is contained in a system 

of records.’’ 5 U.S.C. 552a(b). 

A record is an ‘‘item, collection, or 

grouping of information about an 

individual that is maintained by an 

agency, including, but not limited to, 

his education, financial transactions, 

medical history and that contains his 

name, or the identifying number, 

symbol, or other identifying particular 

assigned to the individual, such as a 

finger or voice print or a photograph.’’ 

5 U.S.C. 552a(a)(4). 

A system of records is ‘‘a group of any 

records under the control of any agency 

from which information is retrieved by 

the name of the individual or by some 

identifying number, symbol, or other 

identifying particular assigned to the 

individual.’’ 5 U.S.C. 552a(a)(5) 

(emphasis added). 

Therefore, to be subject to the Privacy 

Act, data must be a record and stored in 

a system of record. 

Looking at mailpieces, the answer is 

two-fold. When mailpiece images are 

within the Informed Delivery System, 

those mailpiece images are records 

stored in a system of records. Mailpiece 

images are provided to the individual, 

with a Customer Registration and 

Informed Delivery account, who will be 

receiving the physical mailpiece. The 

mailpiece images are directly related to 

the delivery point associated to the 

accounts. Delivery points associated 

with accounts are retried by personal 

identifier and they are subject to the 

Privacy Act. 

When the mailpiece images are not 

within the Informed Delivery Service, 

they are stored in bulk with the mailprocessing equipment. Those images are 

not stored or retrieved by personal 

identifier. It is not until they are 

associated with the Informed Delivery 

Service that they become retrievable by 

personal identifier. As a result, when 

the mailpiece images are in bulk storage, 

they are not records subject to the 

Privacy Act.

BILLING CODE P 

RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD 

Agency Forms Submitted for OMB 

Review, Request for Comments 

In accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 

Chapter 35), the Railroad Retirement 

Board (RRB) is forwarding an 

Information Collection Request (ICR) to 

the Office of Information and Regulatory 

Affairs (OIRA), Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB). Our ICR describes 

the information we seek to collect from 

the public. Review and approval by 

OIRA ensures that we impose 

appropriate paperwork burdens. 

The RRB invites comments on the 

proposed collections of information to 

determine (1) the practical utility of the 

collections; (2) the accuracy of the 

estimated burden of the collections; (3) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information that is the 

subject of collection; and (4) ways to 

minimize the burden of collections on 

respondents, including the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

Comments to the RRB or OIRA must 

contain the OMB control number of the 

ICR. For proper consideration of your 

comments, it is best if the RRB and 

OIRA receive them within 30 days of 

the publication date. 

1. Title and purpose of information 

collection: Employee Representative’s 

Status and Compensation Reports; OMB 

3220–0014. 

Under Section 1(b)(1) of the Railroad 

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

the term ‘‘employee’’ includes an 

individual who is an employee 

representative. As defined in Section 

1(c) of the RRA, an employee 

representative is an officer or official 

representative of a railway labor 

organization other than a labor 

organization included in the term 

‘‘employer,’’ as defined in the RRA, who 

before or after August 29, 1935, was in 

the service of an employer under the 

RRA and who is duly authorized and 

designated to represent employees in 

accordance with the Railway Labor Act, 

or, any individual who is regularly 

assigned to or regularly employed by 

such officer or official representative in 

connection with the duties of his or her 

office. The requirements relating to the 

application for employee representative 

status and the periodic reporting of the 

compensation resulting from such status 

is contained in 20 CFR 209.10. 

The RRB utilizes Form DC–2, 

Employee Representative’s Report of 

Compensation, to obtain the 

information needed to determine 

employee representative status and to 

maintain a record of creditable service 

and compensation resulting from such 

status. Completion is required to obtain 

or retain a benefit. One response is 

requested of each respondent. 

Previous Requests for Comments: The 

RRB has already published the initial 

60-day notice (87 FR 19538 on April 4, 

2022) required by 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2). 

That request elicited no comments.

2. Title and purpose of information 

collection: Application for Survivor 

Insurance Annuities; OMB 3220–0030. 

Under Section 2(d) of the Railroad 

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

monthly survivor annuities are payable 

to surviving widow(er)s, parents, 

unmarried children, and in certain 

cases, divorced spouses, mothers 

(fathers), remarried widow(er)s, and 

grandchildren of deceased railroad 

employees if there are no qualified 

survivors of the employee immediately 

eligible for an annuity. The 

requirements relating to the annuities 

are prescribed in 20 CFR 216, 217, 218, 

and 219. 

To collect the information needed to 

help determine an applicant’s 

entitlement to, and the amount of, a 

survivor annuity the RRB uses Forms 

AA–17, Application for Widow(er)’s 

Annuity; AA–17b, Applications for 

Determination of Widow(er)’s Disability; 

AA–18, Application for Mother’s/ 

Father’s and Child’s Annuity; AA–19, 

Application for Child’s Annuity; AA– 

19a, Application for Determination of 

Child’s Disability; AA–20, Application 

for Parent’s Annuity, and electronic 

Forms AA–17cert, Application 

Summary and Certification and AA– 

17sum, Application Summary. 

The on-line automated survivor 

annuity application (Forms AA–17, 

AA–18, AA–19, and AA–20) process 

obtains information about an applicant’s 

marital history, work history, benefits 

from other government agencies, and 

Medicare entitlement for a survivor 

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– 

17cert or AA–17sum, which provides a 

summary of the information that the 

applicant provided or verified. Form 

AA–17cert, Application Summary and 

Certification, requires a tradition pen 

and ink ‘‘wet’’ signature. Form AA– 

17sum, Application Summary, 

documents the 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 

applicant in person or by telephone, for 

example, the applicant lives in another 

country, a manual version of the 

appropriate form is used. One response 

is requested of each respondent. 

Completion of the forms is required to 

obtain a benefit. 

Previous Requests for Comments: The 

RRB has already published the initial 

60-day notice (87 FR 19538 on April 4, 

2022) required by 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2).

3. Title and Purpose of information 

collection: Nonresident Questionnaire; 

OMB 3220–0145. 

Under Public Laws 98–21 (45 U.S.C. 

410) and 98–76 (45 U.S.C.231t), benefits 

under the Railroad Retirement Act 

payable to annuitants living outside the 

United States may be subject to taxation 

under United States income tax laws. 

Whether the social security equivalent 

and non-social security equivalent 

portions of Tier I, Tier II, vested dual 

benefit, or supplemental annuity 

payments are subject to tax withholding, 

and whether the same or different rates 

are applied to each payment, depends 

on a beneficiary’s citizenship and legal 

residence status, and whether 

exemption under a tax treaty between 

the United States and the country in 

which the beneficiary is a legal resident 

has been claimed. To effect the required 

tax withholding, the Railroad 

Retirement Board (RRB) needs to know 

a nonresident’s citizenship and legal 

residence status. 

To secure the required information, 

the RRB utilizes Form RRB–1001, 

Nonresident Questionnaire, as a 

supplement to an application as part of 

the initial application process, and as an 

independent vehicle for obtaining the 

needed information when an 

annuitant’s residence or tax treaty status 

changes. One response is requested of 

each respondent. Completion is 

voluntary. 

Previous Requests for Comments: The 

RRB has already published the initial 

60-day notice (87 FR 19539 on April 4, 

2022) required by 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2). 

That request elicited no comments.
