RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD

Privacy Act of 1974; Proposed Changes to Systems of Records

AGENCY: Railroad Retirement Board.

ACTION: Notice of proposed amendment of a routine use.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The purpose of this document is to give notice of a proposed 
amendment of a routine use to one of the RRB's Privacy Act systems of 
records.

DATES: The amended routine use will be effective 30 calendar days from 
the date of this publication unless comments are received before this 
date which would result in a contrary determination.

ADDRESSES: Send comments to Beatrice Ezerski, Secretary to the Board, 
Railroad Retirement Board, 844 North Rush Street, Chicago, Illinois 
60611-2092.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
LeRoy Blommaert, Privacy Act Officer, Railroad Retirement Board, 844 
North Rush Street, Chicago, Illinois 60611-2092, [phone].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Routine use ``f'' in System of Records RRB-
20, Health Insurance and Supplemental Medical Insurance Enrollment and 
Premium Payment System (MEDICARE), currently reads as follows:

    Beneficiary identification, premium rate and paid-thru date may 
be released to effect state buy-in and third party premium payments.

    When this routine use was drafted, date of birth and sex of 
beneficiary as well as Medicare Part A and Part B entitlement date/end 
date, were inadvertently not included in the information to be released 
to effect state buy-in and third party premium payments. It has been 
determined that state agencies need these additional items of 
information in order to efficiently effect state buy-in and third party 
premium payments. Accordingly, the RRB proposes to amend this routine 
use to include these additional items of information.

    By authority of the Board.
Beatrice Ezerski,
Secretary to the Board.
