Under Section 12(a) of the Railroad
Retirement Act, the RRB is authorized to select, make payments to,
and conduct transactions with an annuitant's relative or some other
person willing to act on behalf of the annuitant as a
representative payee. The collection obtains information needed to
verify the parent-for-child payee still retains custody of the
child.
The burden increased by 1,300
from 800 to 2,100 and the burden hours have increased by 458 hours
from 67 to 525 hours due to the addition of four questions on the
form that will increase the time required to gather information and
to complete the form.
