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

Pay Rate Report; OMB 3220-0097
Under Section 2(a) of the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act, the
daily benefit rate for unemployment and sickness benefits depends on
the claimant's last daily rate of pay in the base year. The procedures
pertaining to the use of a claimant's daily pay rate in determining the
daily benefit rate are prescribed in 20 CFR 330.
The RRB utilities form UI-1e, Request for Pay Rate Information, to
obtain information from a claimant about their last railroad employer
and pay rate, when it is not available from other RRB records. Form UI-
1e also explains the possibility of receiving a higher daily benefit
rate if a claimant reports their daily rate of pay for railroad work in
the base year. Completion is required to obtain or retain benefits. One
response is requested of each respondent.
The RRB proposes to revise Form UI-1e to add language required by
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. Non-burden impacting reformatting
and editorial changes are also proposed. The completion time for Form
UI-1e is estimated at 5 minutes per response.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 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. Comments regarding the information collection should be
addressed to Ronald J. Hodapp, Railroad Retirement Board, 844 N. Rush
Street, Chicago, Illinois 60611-2092. Written comments should be
received within 60 days of this notice.
Chuck Mierzwa,
Clearance Officer.
