342. Proposed Amendment To Update the Titles of Various Executive 
Committee Members Whose Office Titles Have Changed (Section 610 Review)

    E.O. 13771 Designation: Fully or Partially Exempt.
    Legal Authority: 45 U.S.C. 231f; 45 U.S.C. 362
    Abstract: The Railroad Retirement Board proposes to amend its 
regulations to update 20 CFR 375.5(b), which will change the titles of 
various Executive Committee members whose office titles have changed. 
The Railroad Retirement Board (Board) proposes to amend its regulations 
governing the Board's policy on delegation of authority in case of 
national emergency. The regulation to be amended is contained in 
section 375.5. In section 375.5(b) of the Board's regulations, the 
Board proposes to remove the language that refers to the ``Director of 
Supply and Service'' and the ``Regional Directors,'' to update the 
title of Director of Administration to ``Director of Administration/
COOP Executive,'' and to add the positions of ``Chief Financial 
Officer'' and ``Director of Field Service'' to the delegation of 
authority chain. Finally, the delegation of authority chain will be 
updated to reflect the addition of the updated titles and the removal 
of outdated positions.
