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: Earnings Information 
Request; OMB 3220-0184; RRB Form G-19-F.
    Under Section 2 of the Railroad Retirement Act, an annuity is not 
payable, or is reduced for any month(s) in which the beneficiary works 
for a railroad or earns more than prescribed amounts. The provisions 
relating to the reduction or non-payment of annuities by reason of work 
are prescribed in 20 CFR part 230.
    The RRB utilizes Form G-19-F, Earnings Information Request, to 
obtain earnings information that either had not been previously 
reported or erroneously reported by a beneficiary. If a respondent 
fails to complete the form, the RRB may be unable to pay them benefits. 
One response is requested of each respondent.
    The RRB proposes no changes to Form G-19-F. Approximately 900 G-19-
F's are completed annually at an estimated completion time of eight 
minutes per response. Total respondent burden is estimated at 120 
hours.
    Additional Information or Comments: To request more information or 
to obtain a copy of the information collection justification, forms, 
and/or supporting material, please call the RRB Clearance Officer at 
(312) 751-3363 or send an e-mail request to [email protected]. 
Comments regarding the information collection should be addressed to 
Patricia A. Henaghan, Railroad Retirement Board, 844 North Rush Street, 
Chicago, Illinois 60611-2092 or e-mailed to [email protected]. 
Written comments should be received within 60 days of this notice.

Charles Mierzwa,
RRB Clearance Officer.
