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: Representative Payee 
Parental Custody Monitoring; OMB 3220-0176.
    Under Section 12(a) of the Railroad Retirement Act (RRA) (45 U.S.C. 
231k), 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 the following changes to Form G-99d:
     Minor change item 4 layout.
     Add new item 6 to solicit the total amount of railroad 
retirement benefits received for the child during the reporting period.
     Add new item 7 to solicit the dollar amount of railroad 
retirement benefits used for the child during the reporting period.
     Add new item 8 to solicit a description of how the 
railroad retirement benefits were used for the child during the 
reporting period.
     Add new item 9 to solicit how the surplus railroad 
retirement benefits, if any, were held for the child, for example, in 
cash, a checking account, a savings account, or other means and the 
tittle of any checking or savings accounts holding surplus benefits.
     Renumbered item 6 Certification to item 10.
     Update to the Paperwork Reduction Act and Privacy Act 
Notices to change the burden time from 5 to 15 minutes.
