[Federal Register Volume 80, Number 35 (Monday, February 23, 2015)] [Notices] [Pages 9499-9501] From the Federal Register Online [www.thefederalregister.org] [FR Doc No: 2015-03545] ======================================================================= ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION [Docket No: SSA-2015-0005] 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 of OMB-approved information collections and one new 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-2015-0005]. 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 April 24, 2015. Individuals can obtain copies of the collection instruments by writing to the above email address. [[Page 9500]] 1. Data Exchange Request Form--0960-NEW. SSA maintains approximately 3,000 data exchange agreements and regularly receives new requests from Federal, State, local, and foreign governments, as well as private organizations, to share data electronically. SSA engages in various forms of data exchanges from Social Security number verifications to computer matches for benefit eligibility, depending on the requestor's business needs. Section 1106 of the Social Security Act (Act) requires we consider the requestor's legal authority to receive the data, our disclosure policies, systems' feasibility, systems' security, and costs before entering into a data exchange agreement. We will use Form SSA-157, Data Exchange Request Form, for this purpose. Requesting agencies, governments, or private organizations will use the form when voluntarily initiating a request for data exchange from SSA. Respondents are Federal, State, local, and foreign governments, as well as private organizations seeking to share data electronically with SSA. Type of Request: This is a new information collection. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Average Estimated Number of Frequency of burden per total annual Modality of completion responses response response burden (minutes) (hours) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SSA-157................................................. 60 1 30 30 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. Request for Withdrawal of Application--20 CFR 404.640--0960- 0015. Form SSA-521 documents the information SSA needs to process the withdrawal of an application for benefits. A paper Form SSA-521 is our preferred instrument for executing a withdrawal request; however, any written request for withdrawal signed by the claimant or a proper applicant on the claimant's behalf will suffice. Individuals who wish to withdraw their applications for benefits complete Form SSA-521, or sign the completed form for each request to withdraw. SSA uses the information from the SSA-521 to process the request for withdrawal. The respondents are applicants for Retirement, Survivors, Disability, and Health Insurance benefits. Type of Request: Revision of an OMB-approved information collection. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Average estimated Modality of completion Number of Frequency of burden per annual respondents response response burden (minutes) (hours) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SSA-521................................................. 39,000 1 5 3,250 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. Statement of Self-Employment Income--20 CFR 404.101, 404.110, 404.1096(a)-(d)--0960-0046. To qualify for insured status and thus collect Social Security benefits, self-employed individuals must demonstrate they earned the minimum amount of self-employment income (SEI) in a current year. SSA uses Form SSA-766, Statement of Self- Employment Income, to collect the information we need to determine if the individual will have at least the minimum amount of SEI needed for one or more quarters of coverage in the current year. Based on the information we obtain, we may credit additional quarters of coverage to give the individual insured status thus expediting benefit payments. Respondents are self-employed individuals who may be eligible for Social Security benefits. Type of Request: Revision of an OMB-approved information collection. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Average estimated Modality of completion Number of Frequency of burden per annual respondents response response burden (minutes) (hours) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SSA-766................................................. 2,500 1 5 208 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4. Request for Workers' Compensation/Public Disability Benefit Information--20 CFR 404.408(e)--0960-0098. Claimants for Social Security disability payments who are also receiving Worker's Compensation/Public Disability Benefits (WC/PDB) must notify SSA about their WC/PDB, so the agency can reduce claimants' Social Security disability payments accordingly. If claimants provide necessary evidence, such as a copy of their award notice, benefit check, etc., that is sufficient verification. In cases where claimants cannot provide such evidence, SSA uses Form SSA-1709. The entity paying the WC/PDB benefits, its agent (such as an insurance carrier), or an administering public agency complete this form. The respondents are Federal, State, and local agencies, insurance carriers, and public or private self-insured companies administering WC/PDB benefits to disability claimants. Type of Request: Revision of an OMB-approved information collection. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Average estimated Modality of completion Number of Frequency of burden per annual respondents response response burden (minutes) (hours) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SSA-1709................................................ 120,000 1 15 30,000 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [[Page 9501]] II. 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 March 25, 2015. Individuals can obtain copies of the OMB clearance package by writing to [email protected]. Application for Mother's or Father's Insurance Benefits--20 CFR 404.339-404.342, 20 CFR 404.601-404.603--0960-0003. Section 202(g) of the Act provides for the payment of monthly benefits to the widow or widower of an insured individual if the surviving spouse is caring for the deceased worker's child (who is entitled to Social Security benefits). SSA uses the information on Form SSA-5-BK to determine an individual's eligibility for mother's or father's insurance benefits. The respondents are individuals caring for a child of the deceased worker who is applying for mother's or father's insurance benefits under the Old Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance program. Type of Request: Revision of an OMB-approved information collection. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Average estimated Modality of completion Number of Frequency burden per annual respondents of response response burden (minutes) (hours) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SSA-5-F6 (paper)............................................ 1,611 1 15 403 Modernized Claim System (MCS)............................... 26,045 1 15 6,511 MCS/Signature Proxy......................................... 26,044 1 14 6,077 --------------------------------------------------- Total................................................... 53,700 ........... ........... 12,991 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dated: February 18, 2015.
