RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD


Proposed Data Collection Available for Public Comment and 
Recommendations

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 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:
    Repayment of Debt: OMB 3220-0169.
    When the Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) determines that an 
overpayment of Railroad Retirement Act (RRA) or Railroad Unemployment 
Insurance Act (RUIA) benefits has occurred, it initiates prompt action 
to notify the annuitant of the overpayment and to recover the money 
owed the RRB. To effect payment of a debt by credit card, the RRB 
currently utilizes Form G-421f, Repayment by Credit Card.
    The RRB proposes minor non-burden impacting changes to Form G-421f. 
One form is completed by each respondent. Completion is voluntary. RRB 
procedures pertaining to benefit overpayment determinations and the 
recovery of such benefits are prescribed in 20 CFR 255 and 340.
    The estimate of annual respondent burden is as follows:
