RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD


Agency Forms Submitted for OMB Review, Request for Comments

    Summary: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44

[[Page 35582]]

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: 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.
    Previous Requests for Comments: The RRB has already published the 
initial 60-day notice (79 FR 20251 on April 11, 2014) required by 44 
U.S.C. 3506(c)(2). That request elicited no comments.
