II. MAKING A FOIA REQUEST. 

The United States Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) is a federal agency charged with the administration 

of the Railroad Retirement and Railroad Unemployment Insurance Acts. In general, the Railroad 

Retirement Act replaces the Social Security Act for employment in the ra ilroad industry. Similarly, the 

Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act replaces state unemployment acts for work in the railroad 

industry. The RRB is headquartered at 844 North Rush Street in Chicago, Illinois 60611-1275. All written 

requests for records should be directed to this address. 
Information available from the RRB under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) includes the agency's 

procedure manuals, final decisions of the three-member Board which heads the agency, rulings of the 

Board, and legal opinions. Board coverage decisions and agency legal opinions are available on our web 

site. 

Because the RRB administers a comprehensive program of railroad retirement, unemployment, and 

sickness benefits for railroad workers, it also maintains information about individuals that may not be 

disclosed in response to a FOIA request. The Railroad Retirement Act, the Railroad Unemployment 

Insurance Act, and the Privacy Act restrict the disclosure of information about individuals. If someone 

requests information about an individual, the requester must, as a general rule, provide the RRB a 

written authorization signed by the individual who is the subject of that record. 

1. Names, addresses, and telephone numbers of all individual agency components and offices that 

receive FOIA requests. 

The RRB has designated the Office of General Counsel as the FOIA Requester Service Center for 

the agency. All requests, other than those to the Inspector General, under the FOIA should be 

made by writing to Ana M. Kocur, General Counsel/ Chief FOIA Officer. No form is needed. 

Mark both the envelope and its contents: "FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST" or 

"INFORMATION REQUEST." Address your request to:

Chicago, Illinois 60611-1275 

Requests may also be made by facsimile to (312) 751-7102 or by E-FOIA at https://secure.rrb.gov/ efoia/. 

Because of the independent nature of the Office of Inspector General, requests for information from the 

Inspector General should be made by writing to Martin J. Dickman, Inspector General. No form is 

needed. Mark both the envelope and its contents: " FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST" or 

"INFORMATION REQUEST." Address your request to: 
Martin J. Dickman 

Inspector General

Chicago, Illinois 60611-2092 

E-FOIA requests may also be made at oig.foia@oig.rrb.gov. 

If someone wants to request a record that we do not publish or which we do not make available in one 

of our offices, the requester must give us a detailed description of the record(s) he or she wants. The 

requester should give us as many details as possible, such as names, dates, subject matter and location. 

A vague description could delay our answer or prevent us from finding the records requested. We will 

ask a requester to revise a request if we need information to find the record(s). A requester should 

include a daytime telephone number where he or she can be reached in case we have questions about 

the request. 

2. Brief description of why some requests are not granted. 

The most common reason that a request cannot be granted is the restrictions on disclosure 

contained in sections 12(d) and 12(n) of the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act (45 U.S.C. § 

362{d) and (n)) and section 7(b)(3) of the Railroad Retirement Act (45 U.S.C. § 231f(b)(3)), which 

incorporates sections 12(d) and 12(n) of the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act. Those 

sections restrict the disclosure of personally identifiable material (section 12(d)) and medical 

records (section 12(n)). Section 12(d) has been held to be an exemption 3 statute in Association 

of Retired Railroad Workers v. United States Railroad Retirement Bd., 830 F. 2d 331,334 (D.C. 

Cir. 1987). 

Ill. ACRONYMS, DEFINITIONS, AND EXEMPTIONS. 

1. Agency-specific acronyms or other terms. 

a. RRB-- Railroad Retirement Board 

b. FTE- Full-time employee 
c. OIG - Office of Inspector General 

2. Basic terms, expressed in common terminology. 

a. Administrative Appeal - a request to a federal agency asking that it review at a 

higher administrative level a FOIA determination made by the agency at the 

initial request level. 

b. Average Number - the number obtained by dividing the sum of a group of 

numbers by the quantity of numbers in the group. For example, of 3, 7, and 14, 

the average number is 8. 

c. Backlog - the number ofrequests or administrative appeals that are pending at an 

agency at the end of the fiscal year that are beyond the statutory time period for a 

response. 

d. Component - for agencies that process requests on a decentralized basis, a 

"component" is an entity, also sometimes referred to as an Office, Division, 

Bureau, Center, or Directorate, within an agency that processes FOIA requests. 

The FOIA now requires that agencies include in their Annual FOIA Report data 

for both the agency overall and for each principal component of the agency. 

e. Consultation - the procedure whereby the agency responding to a FOIA request 

first forwards a record to another agency for its review because the other agency 

has an interest in the document. Once the agency in receipt of the consultation 

finishes its review of the record, it responds back to the agency that forwarded it. 

That agency, in turn, will then respond to the FOIA requester. 

f. Exemption 3 Statute - a federal statute that exempts information from disclosure 

and which the agency relies on to withhold information under subsection (b)(3) of 

the FOIA. 

g. FOIA Request-A FOIA request is generally a request to a federal agency for 

access to records concerning another person (i.e., a "third-party" request), or 

concerning an organization, or a particular topic of interest. FOIA requests also 

include requests made by requesters seeking records concerning themselves (i.e., 

" first-party" requests) when those requesters are not subject to the Privacy Act, 

such as non U.S. citizens. Moreover, because all first- party requesters should be 

afforded the benefit of both the access provisions of the FOIA as well as those of 

the Privacy Act, FOIA requests also include any first-party requests where an 

agency determines that it must search beyond its Privacy Act " systems of records" 

or where a Privacy Act exemption applies, and the agency looks to FOIA to 

afford the greatest possible access. All requests which require the agency to 

utilize the FOIA in responding to the requester are included in this Report. 
Additionally, a FOIA request includes records referred to the agency for 

processing and direct response to the requester. It does not, however, include 

records for which the agency has received a consultation from another agency. 

(Consultations are reported separately in Section XII of this Report.) 

h. Full Grant - an agency decision to disclose all records in full response to a FOIA 

request. 

1. Full Denial - an agency decision not to release any records in response to a FOIA 

request because the records are exempt in their entireties under one or more of the 

FOIA exemptions, or because of a procedural reason, such as when no records 

could be located. 

J. Median Number - the middle number, not average, number. For example, of 3, 

7, and 14, the median number is 7. 

k. Multi-Track Processing - a system in which simple requests requiring relatively 

minimal review are placed in one processing track and more voluminous and 

complex requests are placed in one or more other tracks. Requests granted 

expedited processing are placed in yet another track. Requests in each track are 

processed on a first in/ first out basis. 

1. Expedited Processing - an agency will process a FOIA request on an 

expedited basis when a requester satisfies the requirements for expedited 

processing as set forth in the statute and in agency regulations. 

11. Simple Request - a FOIA request that an agency using multi-track 

processing places in its fastest (non-expedited) track based on the low 

volume and/or simplicity of the records requested. 

111. Complex Request - a FOIA request that an agency using multi-track 

processing places in a slower track based on the high volume and/or 

complexity of the records requested. 

I. Partial Grant/Partial Denial - in response to a FOIA request, an agency 

decision to disclose portions of the records and to withhold other portions that are 

exempt under the FOIA, or to otherwise deny a portion of the request for a 

procedural reason. 

m. Pending Request or Pending Administrative Appeal - a request or 

administrative appeal for which an agency has not taken final action in all 

respects. 

n. Perfected Request - a request for records which reasonably describes such 

records and is made in accordance with published rules stating the time, place, 

fees (if any) and procedures to be followed. 
o. Processed Request or Processed Administrative Appeal - a request or 

administrative appeal for which an agency has taken final action in all respects. 

p. Range in Number of Days - the lowest and highest number of days to process 

requests or administrative appeals. 

q. Time Limits - the time period in the statute for an agency to respond to a FOIA 

request (ordinarily twenty working days from receipt of a perfected FOIA request). 

3. The following are concise descriptions of the nine FOIA exemptions: 

a. Exemption 1: classified national defense and foreign relations information. 

b. Exemption 2: information that is related solely to the internal personnel rules and 

practices of an agency. 

c. Exemption 3: information that is prohibited from disclosure by another federal law. 

d. Exemption 4: trade secrets and other confidential information. 

e. Exemption 5: inter-agency or intra-agency communications that are protected by 

legal privileges. 

f. Exemption 6: information involving matters of personal privacy. 

g. Exemption7: records or information compiled for law enforcement purposes, to the 

extent that the production of those records (A) could reasonably be expected to 

interfere with enforcement proceedings, (B) would deprive a person of a right to a fair 

trial or an impartial adjudication, (C) could reasonably be expected to constitute an 

unwarranted invasion of personal privacy, (D) could reasonably be expected to 

disclose techniques and procedures for law enforcement investigations or 

prosecutions, or would disclose guidelines for law enforcement investigations or 

prosecutions, or (F) could reasonably be expected to endanger the life or physical 

safety of any individual. 

h. Exemption 8: information relating to the supervision of financial institutions. 

L Exemption 9: geological information on wells
