PAPERWORK REDUCTION ACT AND PRIVACY ACT NOTICES

This notice is given under both the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 and the Privacy Act of 1974. The information requested in this form is used to
determine whether your country of residence or your citizenship status will affect your Railroad Retirement Act benefits. The Railroad Retirement
Board's authority for requesting this information is Section 7b(6) of the Railroad Retirement Act.
Providing the requested information is voluntary, except as noted below. However, if you fail to provide us with such information, we will be unable
to pay you any benefits. Moreover, your obligation to provide us with the above information becomes mandatory when your refusal to disclose this
information reflects a fraudulent intent to obtain benefits not authorized by law. Under these circumstances, your refusal to provide us with this
information may be punishable by fine or imprisonment, or both.
We estimate this form takes an average of 10 minutes per response to complete, including the time for reviewing the instructions, getting the
needed data, and reviewing the completed form. Federal agencies may not conduct or sponsor, and respondents are not required to respond to, a
collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB number. If you wish, send comments regarding the accuracy of our estimate or any other
aspect of this form, including suggestions for reducing completion time, to the Chief of Information Resources Management, Railroad Retirement
Board, 844 North Rush Street, Chicago, Illinois 60611-2092.

INSTRUCTIONS: This form is to be completed by or on behalf of a person who is, or will be outside the United States for 30 days or more.
