The information collection has two
purposes. When RRB records indicate that railroad service and/or
compensation is insufficient to qualify a claimant for unemployment
or sickness benefits, the RRB obtains information needed to
reconcile the compensation and/or service on record with that
claimed by the employee. Other forms in the collection allow the
RRB to determine whether unemployment or sickness benefits were
improperly obtained.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
