RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD


Proposed Data Collection Available for Public Comment and 
Recommendation

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 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:

    Representative Payee Parental Custody Monitoring: Under Section 12 
(a) of the Railroad Retirement Act (RRA), the Railroad Retirement Board 
(RRB) is authorized to select, make payments to, and to conduct 
transactions with, a beneficiary's relative or some other person 
willing to act on behalf of the beneficiary as a representative payee. 
The RRB is responsible for determining if direct payment to the 
beneficiary or payment to a representative payee would best serve the 
beneficiary's interest. Inherent in the RRB's authorization to select a 
representative payee is the responsibility to monitor the payee to 
assure that the beneficiary's interests are protected. Triennially, the 
RRB utilizes Form G-99d, Parental Custody Report, to obtain information 
needed to verify that a parent-for-child representative payee still has 
custody of the child. One response is required from each respondent.

 Estimate of Annual Respondent Burden

    The estimated annual respondent burden is as follows:
