Terms of Clearance: This ICR is approved for 18 months only. Pursuant to OMB Memorandum dated May 22, 2007 (M-07-16) and the Identity Theft Task Force, steps should be taken to reduce the risks of data breach incidents of personally identifiable information. This Paperwork Reduction Act collection requests the Social Security Number (SSN) of individual beneficiaries (the PIN is the SSN). OMB is approving this information collection for 18 months to allow RRB to gather information concerning the use and need of individual SSNs. Upon resubmission of the information collection to OMB, please provide a written explanation of the following: 1. Authority for collecting the SSN (e.g. statutory requirement or other legal requirement). 2. Explanation for the use of the SSN on the form (e.g. identity verification, etc.) 3. Alternative method(s) (other than the use of a SSN) for verifying the identity of an individual for the purposes of carrying out the information collection requirement. 4. The cost and systems redesign that would be required to remove the use of the SSN and implement the alternate method(s) of verifying individual identities. This analysis should estimate costs to the program each year over 5 years.

Burden Increase Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: The proposed estimated burden adjustment of an additional 4,560 responses and 247 burden hours is the result of a recent RRB calculation of actual responses received. There is no burden reduction. ROCIS would not allow RRB to process without explaining burden reduction. Apparent burden reduction is due to need to separate ICR into two IC's.
