RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD

20 CFR Part 200

RIN: 3220-AB33


General Administration

AGENCY: Railroad Retirement Board.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Railroad Retirement Board (Board) revises its regulations 
to eliminate the list of Board forms and their descriptions found 
therein. The Board also removes the tables which cross-reference Board 
forms to OMB information collection control numbers and sections in the 
Code of Federal Regulations. The purpose of these revisions is to 
eliminate either out-of-date information or information already 
provided elsewhere in a more usable fashion.

EFFECTIVE DATE: May 11, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Secretary to the Board, Railroad Retirement Board, 844 Rush 
Street, Chicago, Illinois 60611.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Thomas W. Sadler, Senior Attorney, 
Railroad Retirement Board, 844 Rush Street, Chicago, Illinois 60611, 
(312) 751-4513, TDD (312) 754-4701.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Prior section 200.3 of the Board's 
regulations purported to list all Board forms. This listing is not 
required by any authority currently in effect and is out-of-date.
    Section 200.3 also contained a table which lists Board forms, their 
OMB information control numbers, and where the information collection 
is found in the text of the Code of Federal Regulations. Such tables 
are not required since the Board lists the OMB control number on its 
forms and in the text of any regulation requiring information 
collection. See 5 CFR 1320.3(f).
    The revised regulation provides that Board forms may be obtained 
from Board headquarters or from local Board offices.
    This rule was published as a proposed rule on January 2, 1998, (63 
FR 34). No comments were received.

    The Board, with the agreement of the Office of Management and 
Budget, has determined that this is not a significant regulatory action 
under Executive Order 12866; therefore, no regulatory impact analysis 
is required. There are no information collections associated with this 
rule.
