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.
    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-2016-0006].
    I. The information collection below is pending at SSA. SSA will 
submit it 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 May 
3, 2016. Individuals can obtain copies of the collection instrument by 
writing to the above email address.
    Agency/Employer Government Pension Offset Questionnaire--20 CFR 
404.408(a)--0960-0470. When an individual is concurrently receiving 
Social Security spousal, or surviving spousal, benefits and a 
government pension, the individual may have the amount of Social 
Security benefits reduced by the government pension amount. This is the 
Government Pension Offset (GPO). SSA uses Form SSA-L4163 to collect 
accurate pension information from the Federal or State government 
agency paying the pension for purposes of applying the pension offset 
provision. SSA uses this form only when (1) the claimant does not have 
the information; and (2) the pension-paying agency has not cooperated 
with the claimant. Respondents are State government agencies which have 
information SSA needs to determine if the GPO applies and the amount of 
offset.
    Type of Request: Revision of an OMB-approved information 
collection.

8202-BK to conduct low-and middle-error-profile telephone or face-to-
face redetermination interviews with Supplemental Security Income (SSI) 
recipients and representative payees. The information SSA collects 
during the interview is necessary to determine whether SSI recipients 
met and continue to meet all statutory and regulatory requirements for 
SSI eligibility, and whether they received, and still receive the 
correct payment amount. The respondents are SSI recipients and their 
representatives, if applicable
