RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD
Proposed Collection; Comment Request
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 collection, the Railroad
Retirement Board (RRB) 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: Aged Monitoring
Questionnaire: OMB 3220-0178.
As outlined in 20 CFR 219.3(b), once a claimant establishes
entitlement to an annuity under the Railroad Retirement Act (RRA), the
RRB may ask that annuitant to produce evidence needed to decide whether
he or she may continue to receive an annuity or whether the annuity
should be reduced or stopped.
The RRB utilizes Form G-19c, Aged Monitoring Questionnaire, to
monitor select aged annuitants. Use of the form assists RRB efforts to
discover unreported deaths and also to determine if an aged annuitant
is able to manage their own affairs. One response is requested from
each respondent. Completion is voluntary. Minor editorial and
reformatting changes to Form G-19c have been proposed.
Estimate of Annual Respondent Burden
The estimated annual respondent burden is as follows:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Annual Time Burden
Form No(s) responses (min) (hrs)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
G-19c.................................... 10,000 6 1,000
------------------------------------------------------------------------
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION OR COMMENTS: To request more information or to
obtain a copy of the information collection justification, forms, and/
or supporting material, please call the RRB Clearance Officer at (312)
751-3363. Comments regarding the information collection should be
addressed to Ronald J. Hodapp, Railroad Retirement Board, 844 N. Rush
Street, Chicago, Illinois 60611-2092. Written comments should be
received within 60 days of this notice.
Chuck Mierzwa,
Clearance Officer.
