The Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act provides for the recovery of sickness benefits paid if an employee receives a settlement for the same injury for which benefits were paid. The collection obtains information that is needed to determine the amount of the RRB's reimbursement from the person or company responsible for such payments.
US Code:
45 USC 362(o)

The overall burden estimated for the collection has decreased significantly primarily due to improved tracking capabilities that allow the RRB's to more accurately determine the amount of annual responses.
The annual responses for the information collection have decreased from 17,382 to 10,805 (6,580) and the burden hours from 892 to 561 (-331).
The burden was calculated by taking the overall reduction (against the current amount) of - 9,080 responses and - 456 hours which the RRB has shown as an adjustment and offsetting that amount with the addition of the burden for the two new Internet equivalent forms (ID-3s and ID-3u) an increase of +2,500 responses and +125 burden hours which the RRB has shown as a program change.
