II. Background 

In accordance with the Paperwork 

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

Chapter 35), the NRC is requesting 

public comment on its intention to 

request the OMB’s approval for the 

information collection summarized 

below. 

1. The title of the information 

collection: 48 CFR 20 U.S. Nuclear 

Regulatory Commission Acquisition 

Regulation (NRCAR). 

2. OMB approval number: 3150–0169. 

3. Type of submission: Extension. 

4. The form number, if applicable: N/ 

A. 

5. How often the collection is required 

or requested: On occasion, one time. 

6. Who will be required or asked to 

respond: NRC contractors and potential 

contractors. 

7. The estimated number of annual 

responses: 5,613. 

8. The estimated number of annual 

respondents: 4,985. 

9. The estimated number of hours 

needed annually to comply with the 

information collection requirement or 

request: 37,337 (34,393 reporting + 

2,944 recordkeeping). 

10. Abstract: The mandatory 

requirements of the NRCAR implement 

and supplement the government-wide 

Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), 

and ensure that the regulations 

governing the procurement of goods and 

services with the NRC satisfy the 

particular needs of the agency. Because 

of differing statutory authorities among 

Federal agencies, the FAR permits 

agencies to issue a regulation to 

implement FAR policies and procedures 

internally to satisfy the specific need of 

the agency. 

III. Specific Requests for Comments 

The NRC is seeking comments that 

address the following questions: 

1. Is the proposed collection of 

information necessary for the NRC to 

properly perform its functions? Does the 

information have practical utility? 

2. Is the estimate of the burden of the 

information collection accurate? 

3. Is there a way to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected? 

4. How can the burden of the 

information collection on respondents 

be minimized, including the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology?

BILLING CODE 7590–01–P 

RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD 

Agency Forms Submitted for OMB 

Review, Request for Comments 

Summary: In accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 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: Supplemental Information on 

Accident and Insurance; OMB 3220– 

0036. 

Under Section 12(o) of the Railroad 

Unemployment Insurance Act (RUIA), 

the Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) is 

entitled to reimbursement of the 

sickness benefits paid to a railroad 

employee if the employee receives a 

sum or damages for the same infirmity 

for which the benefits are paid. Section 

2(f) of the RUIA requires employers to 

reimburse the RRB for days in which 

salary, wages, pay for time lost or other 

remuneration is later determined to be 

payable. Reimbursements under section 

2(f) generally result from the award of 

pay for time lost or the payment of 

guaranteed wages. The RUIA prescribes 

that the amount of benefits paid be 

deducted and held by the employer in 

a special fund for reimbursement to the 

RRB. 

The RRB currently utilizes Forms SI– 

1c, Supplemental Information on 

Accident and Insurance; SI–5, Report of 

Payments to Employee Claiming 

Sickness Benefits Under the RUIA; ID– 

3s and ID–3s (Internet), Request for Lien 

Information—Report of Settlement; ID– 

3s-1, Lien Information Under Section 

12(o) of the RUIA; ID–3u and ID–3u 

(Internet), Request for Section 2(f) 

Information; ID–30k, Notice to Request 

Supplemental Information on Injury or 

Illness; and ID–30k-1, Notice to Request 

Supplemental Information on Injury or 

Illness; to obtain the necessary 

information from claimants and railroad 

employers. Completion is required to 

obtain benefits. One response is 

requested of each respondent. 

Previous Requests for Comments: The 

RRB has already published the initial 

60-day notice (82 FR 31108 on July 5, 

2017) required by 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2). 

That request elicited no comments. 

Information Collection Request (ICR) 

Title: Supplemental Information on 

Accident and Insurance. 

OMB Control Number: 3220–0036. 

Form(s) submitted: SI–1c, SI–5, ID–3s, 

ID–3s (Internet), ID–3s.1, ID3u, ID–3u 

(Internet), ID–30k, and ID–30k.1. 

Type of request: Extension without 

change of a currently approved 

collection. 

Affected public: Individuals or 

Households. 

Abstract: The Railroad 

Unemployment Insurance Act provides 

for the recovery of sickness benefits 

paid if an employee receives a 

settlement for the same injury for which 

benefits were paid. The collection 

obtains information that is needed to 

determine the amount of the RRB’s 

reimbursement from the person or 

company responsible for such 

payments. 

Changes proposed: The RRB proposes 

no changes to the forms in the 

collection. 

The burden estimate for the ICR is as 

follows:

2. Title and Purpose of information 

collection: Pension Plan Reports; OMB 

3220–0089. Under Section 2(b) of the 

Railroad Retirement Act (RRA), the 

Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) pays 

supplemental annuities to qualified RRB 

employee annuitants. A supplemental 

annuity, which is computed according 

to Section 3(e) of the RRA, can be paid 

at age 60 if the employee has at least 30 

years of creditable railroad service or at 

age 65 if the employee has 25–29 years 

of railroad service. In addition to 25 

years of service, a ‘‘current connection’’ 

with the railroad industry is required. 

Eligibility is further limited to 

employees who had at least 1 month of 

rail service before October 1981 and 

were awarded regular annuities after 

June 1966. Further, if an employee’s 

65th birthday was prior to September 2, 

1981, he or she must not have worked 

in rail service after certain closing dates 

(generally the last day of the month 

following the month in which age 65 is 

attained). Under Section 2(h)(2) of the 

RRA, the amount of the supplemental 

annuity is reduced if the employee 

receives monthly pension payments, or 

a lump-sum pension payment from a
