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 collections, the Railroad 
Retirement Board (RRB) will publish periodic summaries of proposed data 
collections.
    Commets 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

Application and Claim for RUIA Benefits Unpaid at Death; OMB 3220-0055
    Under Section 2(g) of the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act 
(RUIA), benefits under that Act that accrued but were not paid because 
of the death of an employee shall be paid to the same individual(s) to 
whom benefits are payable under Section 6(a)(1) of the Railroad 
Retirement Act. The provisions relating to the payment of such benefits 
are prescribed in 20 CFR 325.5 and 20 CFR 335.5.
    The RRB provides Form UI-63 for use in applying for the accrued 
sickness or unemployment benefits unpaid at the death of the employee 
and for securing the information needed by the RRB to identify the 
proper payee. Completion is voluntary. One response is requested of 
each respondent.
    The RRB proposes minor editorial changes the UI-63 to incorporate 
language required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The 
completion time for the UI-63 is estimated at 7 minutes. The RRB 
estimates that approximately 200 responses are received annually.

obtain a copy of the information collection justification, forms, and/
