SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION

[Docket No: SSA-2015-0040]


Agency Information Collection Activities: Comment Request

    The Social Security Administration (SSA) publishes a list of 
information collection packages requiring clearance by the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) in compliance with Public Law 104-13, the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, effective October 1, 1995. This notice 
includes a revision of an OMB-approved information collection.
    SSA is soliciting comments on the accuracy of the agency's burden 
estimate; the need for the information; its practical utility; ways to 
enhance its quality, utility, and clarity; and ways to minimize burden 
on respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology. Mail, email, or fax your 
comments and recommendations on the information collection(s) to the 
OMB Desk Officer and SSA Reports Clearance Officer at the following 
addresses or fax numbers.

(OMB), Office of Management and Budget, Attn: Desk Officer for SSA, 
Fax: 202-395-6974, Email address: [email protected].

(SSA), Social Security Administration, OLCA, Attn: Reports Clearance 
Director, 3100 West High Rise, 6401 Security Blvd., Baltimore, MD 
21235, Fax: 410-966-2830, Email address: [email protected].

    Or you may submit your comments online through www.regulations.gov, 
referencing Docket ID Number [SSA-2015-0040].
    SSA submitted the information collection below to OMB for 
clearance. Your comments regarding the information collection would be 
most useful if OMB and SSA receive them 30 days from the date of this 
publication. To be sure we consider your comments, we must receive them 
no later than July 29, 2015. Individuals can obtain copies of the OMB 
clearance packages by writing to [email protected].
    Application for a Social Security Number Card, the Social Security 
Number Application Process (SSNAP), and Internet SSN Replacement Card 
(iSSNRC) Application--20 CFR 422.103-422.110--0960-0066. SSA collects 
information on the SS-5 (used in the United States) and SS-5-FS (used 
outside the United States) to issue original or replacement Social 
Security cards. SSA also enters the application data into the Social 
Security Number Application Process (SSNAP) when applicants request a 
new or replacement card via telephone or in person. In addition, 
hospitals collect the same information on SSA's behalf for newborn 
children through the Enumeration-at-Birth process. In this process, 
parents of newborns provide hospital birth registration clerks with 
information required to register these newborns. Hospitals send this 
information to State Bureaus of Vital Statistics (BVS), and they send 
the information to SSA's National Computer Center. SSA then uploads the 
data to the SSA mainframe along with all other enumeration data, and we 
assign the newborn a Social Security number (SSN) and issue a Social 
Security card. Respondents can also use these modalities to request a 
change in their SSN records. Additionally, the iSSNRC application will 
collect information similar to the paper SS-5 for no-change replacement 
SSN cards for adult U.S. citizens. A new iSSNRC modality included in 
the current clearance will allow certain applicants for an SSN 
replacement card to apply by completing an internet application and 
submitting the required evidence online rather than completing a paper 
Form SS-5, Application for a Social Security Card. The respondents for 
this collection are applicants for original and replacement Social 
Security cards, or individuals who wish to change information in their 
SSN records, who use any of the modalities described above.
    Type of Request: Revision of an OMB-approved information 
collection.

* The total timeline for complete national coverage of the iSSNRC application is two years from the date of
  initial implementation and is dependent on the contractor enrolling each State into the network. By fiscal
  year 2018, we would expect to issue about 1.5 million replacement cards annually via the iSSNRC application.
  However, the estimated volume could vary based on the date of implementation, when the contractor acquires
  States, and our marketing efforts to the public.

    Cost Burden: The state BVSs incur costs of approximately $11 
million for transmitting data to SSA's mainframe. However, SSA 
reimburses the states for these costs.

    Dated: June 24, 2015.
