RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD


Agency Forms Submitted for OMB Review, Request for Comments

    Summary: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 
U.S.C. chapter 35), the Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) is forwarding 
an Information Collection Request (ICR) to the Office of Information 
and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA), Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to 
request an extension without change of a currently approved collection 
of information: 3220-0176, Representative Payee Parental Custody 
Report. Out ICR describes the information we seek to collect from the 
public. Review and approval by OIRA ensures that we impose appropriate 
paperwork burdens.
    The RRB invites comments on the proposed collection of information 
to determine (1) the ractical utility of the collection; (2) the 
accuracy of the estimated burden of the collection; (3) ways to enhance 
the quality, utility and clarity of the information that is the subject 
of collection; and (4) ways to minimize the burden of collections on 
respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology. Comments to RRB or OIRA must 
contain the OMB control number of the ICR. For proper consideration of 
your comments, it is best if the RRB and OIRA receive them within 30 
days of publication date.
    Under Section 12(a) of the Railroad Retirement Act (RRA), the 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.

    Previous Requests for Comments: The RRB has already published the 
initial 60-day notice (75 FR 79056 on December 17, 2010) required by 44 
U.S.C. 3506(c)(2). That request elicited no comments.
