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).
Our 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 collections of information
to determine (1) the practical utility of the collections; (2) the
accuracy of the estimated burden of the collections; (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 the
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 the publication date.
Title and purpose of information collection: Citizen-Centric Online
Self-Services (CCOSS) Authorization; OMB 3220-NEW.
Section 7(b)(6) of the Railroad Retirement Act (RRA) (45 U.S.C.
231f) and 20 CFR 321 under the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act
(RUIA) permits annuitants, beneficiaries and claimants to submit
mailing address and direct deposit authorizations to facilitate the
Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) verification and certification of
benefit payments electronically. The Government Paperwork Elimination
Act requires federal agencies to provide the public with the option to
submit, maintain and transact business electronically. The procedures
pertaining to the RRB's authority to collection direct deposit and
mailing address information to carry out RRA and RUIA benefit payment
are contained in 45 U.S.C. 231 and 20 CFR 321.
The RRB propose to use Form COA-1, Change of Address (internet) to
allow railroad annuitants, beneficiaries and claimants to initiate a
change to their mailing address through the Citizen-Centric Online
Self-Services (CCOSS) on the myRRB web portal (RRB.gov) after
completing the Login.gov identify verification process. Railroad
annuitants, beneficiaries and claimants can update their mailing
address as
[[Page 37900]]
needed and retirees, who have multiple residences and live temporarily
at each residence for part of the year, can request two or more address
changes annually. The RRB will use the information to verify the name
and address of each annuitant, beneficiary and claimant entitled to
receive a benefit payment.
The RRB propose to use Form DDC-1, Direct Deposit Change (internet)
to allow a railroad annuitants, beneficiaries and claimants to update
their direct deposit information through the Citizen-Centric Online
Self-Services (CCOSS) on the myRRB web portal (RRB.gov) after
completing the Login.gov identify verification process. Railroad
annuitants, beneficiaries and claimants can update their direct deposit
information as needed. The RRB will provide the information to the U.S.
Department of the Treasury to process electronic fund transfer payments
to the claimant's financial institution account.
Previous Requests for Comments: The RRB has already published the
initial 60-day notice (90 FR 24167 on June 6, 2025) required by 44
U.S.C. 3506(c)(2). That request elicited no comments.
