Agency Information Collection
Activities: Proposed Request
The Social Security Administration
(SSA) publishes a list of information
collection packages that will require
clearance by the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) in compliance with
Pub. L. 104–13, the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, effective October
1, 1995. The information collection
packages that may be included in this
notice are for new information
collections, revisions to OMB-approved
information collections, and extensions
(no 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 on ways
to minimize burden on respondents,
including the use of automated

collection techniques or other forms of
information technology. Written
comments and recommendations
regarding the information collection(s)
should be submitted to OMB desk
officer and the SSA Reports Clearance
Officer. The information can be mailed
and/or faxed to the individuals at the
addresses and fax numbers listed below:
(OMB) Office of Management and
Budget, Attn: Desk Officer for SSA, Fax:
202–395–6974.

DCFAM, Attn: Reports Clearance
Officer, 1333 Annex Building, 6401

Fax: 410–965–6400.
I. The information collections listed
below are pending at SSA and will be
submitted to OMB within 60 days from
the date of this notice. Therefore, your
comments should be submitted to SSA
within 60 days from the date of this
publication. You can obtain copies of
the collection instruments by calling the
SSA Reports Clearance Officer at 410–
965–0454 or by writing to the address
listed above.
1. Claimant’s Recent Medical
Treatment—20 CFR 404.1512 &
416.912—0960–0292. The information
collected on Form HA–4631 is used to
facilitate processing an applicant’s old
age, survivors, and disability insurance
(Title II) and Supplemental Security
Income (SSI; Title XVI) claims. The
form elicits from the claimant an
updated list of medical treatment. This
enables the Administrative Law Judge
hearing the case, to fully inquire into
past and current medical treatment the
claimant received/receives and the
effect on the claimant’s physical and
mental status. The respondents are
applicants for Title II and Title XVI
benefits.
Type of Request: Extension of an
OMB-approved information collection.
Number of Respondents: 320,000.
Frequency of Response: 1.
Average Burden Per Response: 10
minutes.
Estimated Annual Burden: 53,333
hours.
2. The Mental Health Treatment
Study (MHTS)—0960—NEW.
Background
As a result of advances in medical
treatment, assistive devices, changes in
the way those with disabilities are
viewed, and legislation designed to
assure access to employment, SSA is
taking on an increasingly active role in
assisting beneficiaries who want to
return to work. As a result, SSA plans
to develop the MHTS under Section 234
of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C.
434), which gives the Commissioner of
E:\FR\FM\16FEN1.SGM
16FEN1
8332
Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 32 / Thursday, February 16, 2006 / Notices
Social Security the authority to carry
out experiments and demonstration
projects designed to determine the
relative advantages and disadvantages of
interventions that facilitate a
beneficiary’s return to work. Part of the
agency’s role involves finding ways to
promote work and increase
independence among disability
beneficiaries.
SSA received additional support for
this study in February 2001, through
President Bush’s New Freedom
Initiative—a comprehensive program
whose primary goal is to promote the
full participation of individuals with
disabilities in all areas of society. The
aim of the Initiative is to help
Americans with disabilities by
increasing their access to effective
technologies, expanding educational
opportunities, increasing the ability of
Americans with disabilities to integrate
into the workforce, and promoting
increased access into daily community
life. This initiative provided SSA with
the support necessary to address the
need to expand educational and
employment opportunities for
beneficiaries in an effort to provide
supports and services that will enable
them to maximize their self-sufficiency
and potentially enter or reenter the
workforce.
MHTS Collection
The MHTS is a randomized study
designed to test the degree to which
eliminating programmatic work
disincentives, establishing an accurate
diagnosis and delivering appropriate
mental health and supported
employment will lead to improved
functioning and competitive
employment among Social Security
Disability Insurance (SSDI) beneficiaries
with a primary impairment of
schizophrenia or affective disorder.
Study outcomes will assess the impact
and cost-effectiveness of the
intervention, including identification of

specific factors within the interventions
that result in positive employment
outcomes. This information will enable
SSA to further develop ways to improve
services to current and future
beneficiaries. The information will also
be used to guide any potential changes
to program rules to allow for better
coordination among other Federal and
State programs. Interested beneficiaries
will be initially screened to confirm
their ability to participate in the study.
The actual study is scheduled to be
conducted over a 2-year period with
initial measurement through a baseline
survey, followed by quarterly progress
surveys and a final follow-up survey.
For study purposes, participants will be
divided into two groups: (A) Treatment
Group and (B) Control Group. The
respondents to the study are SSDI
beneficiaries who meet the study
criteria and elect to participate.
