[Federal Register Volume 80, Number 145 (Wednesday, July 29, 2015)] [Notices] [Pages 45265-45267] From the Federal Register Online [www.thefederalregister.org] [FR Doc No: 2015-18558] ======================================================================= ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION [Docket No: SSA-2015-0048] Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Request and 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 revisions, extensions, and one reinstatement without change of OMB-approved information collections. 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: OIRA_Submission@omb.eop.gov. (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: OR.Reports.Clearance@ssa.gov. Or you may submit your comments online through www.regulations.gov, referencing Docket ID Number [SSA-2015-0048]. I. The information collections below are pending at SSA. SSA will submit them to OMB within 60 days from the date of this notice. To be sure we consider your comments, we must receive them no later than September 28, 2015. Individuals can obtain copies of the collection instruments by writing to the above email address. 1. Certificate of Support--20 CFR 404.370, 404.750, 404.408a--0960- 0001. A parent of a deceased, fully insured worker may be entitled to Social Security Old-Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance (OASDI) benefits based on the earnings record of the deceased worker under certain conditions. One of the conditions is the parent must have received at least one-half support from the deceased worker. The one- half support requirement also applies to a spousal applicant in determining whether OASDI benefits are subject to Government Pension Offset (GPO). SSA uses the information from Form SSA-760-F4 to determine if the parent of a deceased worker or a spouse applicant meets the one-half support requirement. Respondents are (1) parents of deceased workers and (2) spouses who may meet the GPO exception. Type of Request: Revision of an OMB-approved information collection. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Average burden Estimated total Modality of completion Number of Frequency of per response annual burden respondents response (minutes) (hours) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SSA-760-F4.................................. 18,000 1 15 4,500 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. Statement of Household Expenses and Contributions--20 CFR 416.1130-416.1148--0960-0456. SSA bases eligibility for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) on the needs of the recipient. In part, we assess need by determining the amount of income a recipient receives. This income includes in-kind support and maintenance in the form of food and shelter provided by others. SSA uses Form SSA-8011-F3, to determine whether the claimant or recipient receives in-kind support and maintenance. This is necessary to determine (1) the claimant or recipient's eligibility for SSI and (2) the SSI payment amount. SSA only uses this form in cases where SSA needs the householder's (head of household) corroboration of in-kind support and maintenance. Respondents are householders of homes in which an SSI applicant or recipient resides. Type of Request: Revision of an OMB-approved information collection. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Average burden Estimated total Modality of completion Number of Frequency of per response annual burden respondents response (minutes) (hours) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SSA-8011-F3................................. 417,025 1 15 104,256 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. Integrated Registration Services (IRES) System--20 CFR 401.45-- 0960-0626. The IRES System verifies the identity of individuals, businesses, organizations, entities, and government agencies seeking to use SSA's eService Internet and telephone applications. Individuals need this verification to electronically request and exchange business data with SSA. Requestors provide SSA with the information needed to establish their identities. Once SSA verifies identity, the IRES system issues the requestor a user identification number (User ID) and a password to conduct business with SSA. Respondents are employers and third party submitters of wage data, [[Page 45266]] business entities providing taxpayer identification information, and data exchange partners conducting business in support of SSA programs. Type of Request: Extension of an OMB-approved information collection. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Average Number of Frequency of burden per Estimated Modality of completion respondents response response total annual (minutes) burden (hours) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IRES Internet Registrations..................... 662,102 1 5 55,175 IRES Internet Requestors........................ 9,209,489 1 2 306,983 IRES CS (CSA) Registrations..................... 23,562 1 11 4,320 --------------------------------------------------------------- Totals...................................... 9,895,153 .............. .............. 366,478 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4. Request for Reinstatement (Title II)--20 CFR 404.1592b- 404.1592f--0960-0742. SSA allows certain previously entitled disability beneficiaries to request expedited reinstatement (EXR) of benefits under Title II of the Social Security Act when their medical condition no longer permits them to perform substantial gainful activity. SSA uses Form SSA-371 to obtain: (1) A signed statement from individuals requesting an EXR of their Title II disability benefits, and (2) proof the requestors meet the EXR requirements. SSA maintains the form in the disability folder of the applicant to demonstrate the requestors' awareness of the EXR requirements, and their choice to request EXR. Respondents are applicants for EXR of Title II disability benefits. Type of Request: Revision of an OMB-approved information collection. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Average burden Estimated total Modality of completion Number of Frequency of per response annual burden respondents response (minutes) (hours) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SSA-371..................................... 10,000 1 2 333 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- II. SSA submitted the information collections below to OMB for clearance. Your comments regarding the information collections 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 August 28, 2015. Individuals can obtain copies of the OMB clearance packages by writing to OR.Reports.Clearance@ssa.gov. 1. Coverage of Employees of State and Local Governments--20 CFR 404, Subpart M--0960-0425. The Code of Federal Regulations at 20 CFR 404, Subpart M, prescribes the rules for states submitting reports of deposits and recordkeeping to SSA. SSA requires states (and interstate instrumentalities) to provide wage and deposit contribution information for pre-1987 periods. Not all states have completely satisfied their pending wage report and contribution liability with SSA for pre-1987 tax years. SSA needs these regulations until we close out all pending items with all states, and provide for collection of this information in the future, if necessary. The respondents are State and local governments or interstate instrumentalities. Type of Request: Reinstatement without change of a previously approved collection. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Average Number of Frequency of burden per Estimated Regulation section respondents response response total annual (minutes) burden (hours) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 404.1204(a) & (b)............................... 52 1 30 26 404.1215........................................ 52 1 60 52 404.1216(a) & (b)............................... 52 1 60 52 --------------------------------------------------------------- Total....................................... 156 .............. .............. 130 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. Function Report Adult-Third Party--20 CFR 404.1512 & 416.912-- 0960-0635. Individuals receiving or applying for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or SSI provide SSA with medical evidence and other proof SSA requires to prove their disability. SSA, and Disability Determination Services on our behalf, collect this information using Form SSA-3380-BK. We use the information to document how claimant's disabilities affect their ability to function, and to determine eligibility for SSI and SSDI claims. The respondents are third parties familiar with the functional limitations (or lack thereof) of claimants who apply for SSI and SSDI benefits. Type of Request: Revision of an OMB approved information collection. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Average burden Estimated total Modality of completion Number of Frequency of per response annual burden respondents response (minutes) (hours) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SSA-3380-BK................................. 780,000 1 61 793,000 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [[Page 45267]] Dated: July 24, 2015.
