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.
    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

    Certification Regarding Rights to Unemployment Benefits; OMB 3220-
0079. Under Section 4 of the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act 
(RUIA), an employee who leaves work voluntarily is disqualified for 
unemployment benefits unless the employee left work for good cause and 
is not qualified for unemployment benefits under any other law. RRB 
Form UI-45, Claimant's Statement--Voluntary Leaving of Work, is used by 
the RRB to obtain the claimant's statement when it is indicated by the 
claimant, the claimant's employer, or another source that the claimant 
has voluntarily left work. The RRB proposes a minor non-burden 
impacting editorial change to Form UI-45.
    Completion of Form UI-45 is required to obtain or retain benefits. 
One response is received from each respondent. The completion time for 
Form UI-45 is estimated at 15 minutes per response. The RRB estimates 
that approximately 2,900 responses are received annually.
    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 or send an e-mail request to [email protected]. 
Comments regarding the information collection should be addressed to

Chicago, Illinois 60611-2092 or send an e-mail to
