    Title and Purpose of information collection:
    Representative Payee Parental Custody Monitoring: OMB 3220-0176. 
Under Section 12(a) of the Railroad Retirement Act (RRA), the Railroad 
Retirement Board (RRB) is authorized to select, make payments to, and 
to conduct transactions with, a beneficiary's relative or some other 
person willing to act on behalf of the beneficiary as a representative 
payee. The RRB is responsible for determining if direct payment to the 
beneficiary or payment to a representative payee would best serve the 
beneficiary's interest. Inherent in the RRB's authorization to select a 
representative payee is the responsibility to monitor the payee to 
assure that the beneficiary's interests are protected. The RRB utilizes 
Form G-99d, Parental Custody Report, to obtain information needed to 
verify that a parent-for-child representative payee still has custody 
of the child. One response is required from each respondent. The RRB 
proposes no changes to Form G-99d.
    The estimated annual respondent burden is as follows:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                     Annual
               Form (s)                   responses       Time  (min)     Burden  (hrs)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
G-99d.........................................           1,030                5               86
