6. Selection of Winners.
Semi-Final Round. In the semi-final
round of the Challenge, SBA will review
the semi-finalist nomination packages
submitted by the local competition host
organizations and select up to 10
finalists whose products or services, in
SBA’s sole judgment, best satisfy the
competition criteria identified in
Paragraph 1 of this Challenge
announcement and present the greatest
potential for success. In addition, in
order to achieve nationwide distribution
of prizes for the purpose of stimulating
the growth and development of new
products and services across the entire
United States and across a diverse range
of project types, SBA may take into
account nominees’ geographic locations
when selecting winners, including
support to geographic regions that
traditionally have limited access to
capital, as well as diversity in the types
of products and services. Finalists
selected by SBA will be required to sign
a form certifying that they meet the
eligibility requirements identified in
Paragraph 2 above and have complied
with these Challenge Rules.
Final Round. Each finalist will be
offered the opportunity to participate in
the InnovateHER Final Challenge to be
held on July 27, 2017 where they will
make a live marketing pitch to a panel
of expert judges drawn from the private
sector. The panel of judges will select
the three finalists whose pitches, in
their sole judgment, best satisfy the
competition criteria and present the
greatest potential for success and rank
them in descending order. Finalists will
be responsible for covering their own
travel costs for the national competition.

being conducted by SBA pursuant to the
America Competes Act (15 U.S.C. 3719)

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.

consider your comments, we must
receive them no later than February 27,
2017. Individuals can obtain copies of
the collection instruments by writing to

1. Questionnaire About Employment
or Self-Employment Outside the United
States—20 CFR 404.401(b)(1), 404.415 &
404.417—0960–0050. When a Social
Security beneficiary or claimant reports
work outside the United States (U.S.),
SSA uses Form SSA–7163 to determine
if foreign work deductions are
applicable. Specifically, SSA uses Form
SSA–7163 to determine: (1) Whether
work performed by beneficiaries outside
the U.S. is cause for deductions from
their monthly benefits; (2) which of two
work tests (foreign or regular test) is
applicable; and (3) the number of
months, if any, for SSA-imposed
deductions. SSA determines whether
the annual earnings test applies to all
earnings from work covered by the
Social Security Act (Act), including
earnings from covered work performed
outside the U.S. However, because of
the differences in foreign currency
values, it is administratively impractical
to apply this test to earnings from noncovered work performed outside the
U.S. and base it on U.S. dollars.
Accordingly, the 45-hour work test
provides for deductions from the
benefits of employees under full
retirement age who engage in noncovered remunerative activity for more
than 45 hours in a calendar month. SSA
asks beneficiaries working outside the
U.S. to complete this form annually or
every other year (depending on the
country of residence). Respondents are
beneficiaries or claimants for Social
Security benefits living and working
outside the U.S.
Type of Request: Revision of an OMBapproved information collection.
