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.

The overall burden estimated for the collection has decreased by 1,302 from 10,202 to 8,900 and the burden hours have decreased by 23 hours from 531 to 508 hours.
The burden increased due to the following reasons: 1) a growing use of Form ID-30k, were the responses increased by 45 (from 55 to 100) and the burden hours increased by 3 (5 to 8).
At the same time, the burden reduced due to a reduction in the use of Form ID-3u for job protection payments in the rail industry; the removal of Form ID-30k-1 due to less than 10 responses annually; and improved tracking capabilities that allow the RRB to more accurately determine the amount of annual responses.
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.
