This information
collection is approved through 8-93 under the following conditions:
Under question number 5, RRB will collapse B and C into one
category, and on the next submission justify why the agency needs a
separate accounting for Medical/ Dental Care. For question number
6, RRB will eliminate the "savings bond" category and limit the
account information to account number and name of bank only. RRB
will revise the burden estimate to at leas 20 minutes, as the more
limited SSA form has a burden estimate of 15 minutes. Finally, OMB
recommends that RRB adopt the approach SSA has used and send all
Rep. Payees a ledger to help them keep track of their expenditures
throughout the year.
