FR Document2015-27826

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 collection of information to determine (1) the practical 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 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. Under Section 8 of the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act (RUIA), as amended by the Railroad Unemployment Improvement Act of 1988 (Pub. L. 100-647), the RRB determines the amount of an employer's contribution, primarily on the basis of the RUIA benefits paid, both unemployment and sickness, to the employees of the railroad employer. These experienced-based contributions take into account the frequency, volume, and duration of the employees' unemployment and sickness benefits. Each employer's contribution rate includes a component for administrative expenses as well as a component to cover costs shared by all employers. The regulations prescribing the manner and conditions for remitting the contributions and for adjusting overpayments or underpayments of contributions are contained in 20 CFR 345. RRB Form DC-1, Employer's Quarterly Report of Contributions under the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act, is used by railroad employers to report and remit their quarterly contributions to the RRB. Employers can use either the manual version of the form or its Internet equivalent. One response is requested quarterly of each respondent and completion is mandatory. Previous Requests for Comments: The RRB has already published the initial 60-day notice (80 FR 41099 on July 14, 2015) required by 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2). That request elicited no comments.

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 collection of information 
to determine (1) the practical 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

[[Page 67440]]

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.
    Under Section 8 of the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act (RUIA), 
as amended by the Railroad Unemployment Improvement Act of 1988 (Pub. 
L. 100-647), the RRB determines the amount of an employer's 
contribution, primarily on the basis of the RUIA benefits paid, both 
unemployment and sickness, to the employees of the railroad employer. 
These experienced-based contributions take into account the frequency, 
volume, and duration of the employees' unemployment and sickness 
benefits. Each employer's contribution rate includes a component for 
administrative expenses as well as a component to cover costs shared by 
all employers. The regulations prescribing the manner and conditions 
for remitting the contributions and for adjusting overpayments or 
underpayments of contributions are contained in 20 CFR 345.
    RRB Form DC-1, Employer's Quarterly Report of Contributions under 
the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act, is used by railroad employers 
to report and remit their quarterly contributions to the RRB. Employers 
can use either the manual version of the form or its Internet 
equivalent. One response is requested quarterly of each respondent and 
completion is mandatory.
    Previous Requests for Comments: The RRB has already published the 
initial 60-day notice (80 FR 41099 on July 14, 2015) required by 44 
U.S.C. 3506(c)(2). That request elicited no comments.
