SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Recognizing that, in certain limited circumstances, executors or entities may seek authorization for fees for the services performed by a representative, and individuals may seek authorization for fees for services provided even if they have not been appointed on a claim, we are modifying an existing routine use in the Attorney Fee File (60-0003) and in the Claims Folders System (60-0089) to reflect the following:
To a representative (current or former), the executor of a deceased representative's estate or individual recognized by the State as the representative of the estate, an individual who provided representational services, the entity with which the representative or individual is or was affiliated through registration, or an individual or entity to which the agency disbursed a fee payment, to the extent necessary to dispose of a fee petition or fee agreement or resolve other fee-related issues in claims-related matters, but not to include pre-decisional deliberative documents, such as analyses and recommendations prepared for the decision-maker.
We are not republishing the system of records notices in their entirety. Instead, we are republishing only the identification number; the system of records name; the number of the modified or new routine use; and the issue of the
Federal Register
