    Title and purpose of information collection: Earnings Information 
Request; OMB 3220-0184.
    Under section 2 of the Railroad Retirement Act, an annuity is not 
payable, or is reduced for any month(s) in which the beneficiary works 
for a railroad or earns more than prescribed amounts. The provisions 
relating to the reduction or non-payment of annuities by reason of work 
are prescribed in 20 CFR 230.
    The RRB utilizes form G-19-F, Earnings Information Request, to 
obtain earnings information not previously or erroneously reported by a 
beneficiary. Completion of the form is required to retain a benefit. 
One response is requested of each respondent.
    The RRB proposes minor non-burden impacting cosmetic and editorial 
changes to Form G-19-F. The completion time for Form G-19-F is 
estimated at 8 minutes per response.
    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.
