SUP records the reviewing medical/
psychological consultant’s assessment
of the SSA–4734–SUP prepared by the
adjudicating component and also
records whether the reviewer agrees or
disagrees with the manner in which the
SSA–4734–SUP was completed. The
SSA–392–SUP is required for each
SSA–4734–SUP form completed. The
respondents are the 256 medical/
psychological consultants responsible
for reviewing the SSA–4734–SUP.
Type of Request: Extension of an
OMB-approved information collection.
Number of Responses: 45,000.
Frequency of Response: 1.
Average Burden per Response: 12
minutes.
Estimated Annual Burden: 9,000
hours.
8. Request for Business Entity
Taxpayer Information—0960–NEW. The
SSA–1694 will be used to collect
information from law firms or other
business entities that have partners or
employees to whom SSA pays fees that
have been authorized as compensation
for the representation of claimants
before SSA. SSA will collect the name
of the firms and/or business entities, as
well as their addresses and Employer
Identification Numbers (EIN) to keep a
record on file for tax purposes. This
information will be used to meet any
requirement for issuance of a Form
1099–MISC. The respondents are law
firms or other business entities that have
partners or employees that are attorneys
or other qualified individuals who
represent claimants before SSA.
Type of Request: Request for a new
information collection.
Number of Respondents: 1,000.
Frequency of Response: 1.
Average Burden per Response: 10
minutes.
Estimated Annual Burden: 167 hours.
9. Identifying Information for Possible
Direct Payment of Authorized Fees—
0960–NEW. The SSA–1695 will be used
to collect information from appointed
representatives that will facilitate the
direct payment of authorized fees
related to the representation of
claimants for benefits before SSA and to
issue a Form 1099–MISC, as required.
The information will also be used to
establish a link between each claim for
benefits and the data that will be
collected on the SSA–1699 and stored
on an Appointed Representative
Database. Respondents are attorneys and
other individuals who represent
claimants for benefits before SSA.
Type of Request: Request for a new
information collection.
Number of Respondents: 10,000.
Frequency of Response: 25.
Number of Responses: 250,000

Average Burden per Response: 10
minutes.
Estimated Annual Burden: 41,667
hours.
10. Request for Appointed
Representative’s Direct Payment
Information—0960–NEW. The SSA–
1699 will be used to collect information
from appointed representatives in order
to facilitate the direct payment of
authorized fees, including the possible
use of direct deposit to a financial
institution. SSA will also use the
information provided to meet any
requirement to issue a Form 1099–MISC
when SSA has paid the representative
aggregate fees of $600 or more in a
taxable year. Business affiliation
information will be used to determine if
a Form 1099–MISC should be issued to
a firm in those situations where the
representative is associated with a firm
as an employee or partner. Since the
SSA–1699 is used as a registration form
for the Appointed Representative
Database, representatives will only need
to fill it out once, unless they need to
make a change to any of their
information. This form is used in
conjunction with the SSA–1695, which
links the Appointed Representative
Database with the individual claims the
representatives handle. Respondents are
attorneys or non-attorneys eligible for
direct payment (i.e., have met certain
prerequisites established by law).
Type of Request: Request for a new
information collection.
Number of Respondents: 10,000.
Frequency of Response: 1.
Average Burden per Response: 20
minutes.
Estimated Annual Burden: 3,333
hours.
11. SSI Monthly Wage Reporting
Phase 2 Pilot—20 CFR 416.701–732—
0960–0715. Supplemental Security
Income (SSI) recipients are required to
report changes in their income,
resources and living arrangements that
may affect eligibility or payment
amount. Currently, SSI recipients report
changes on Form SSA–8150, Reporting
Events—SSI, or to an SSA teleservice
representative through SSA’s toll-free
telephone number, or they visit their
local Social Security office. The SSI
wage reporting program area has the
highest error rate largely due to nonreporting, which accounts for
approximately $500 million in
overpayments each year. Consequently,
SSA is evaluating methods for
increasing reporting. SSA is conducting
a pilot to test an additional method for
individuals to report wages for the SSI
program. We are testing to determine if,
given an easily accessible automated
format, individuals will increase
PO 00000
Frm 00086
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
38683
compliance with reporting
responsibilities. Increased timely
reporting could result in a decrease in
improper payments. SSA will also be
testing the use of knowledge-based
authentication to determine if this is an
effective method of accessing SSA’s
system. Lastly, SSA will test recent
system enhancements and additional
systems enhancements expected in May
2006 that will make reporting easier.
During the pilot, participants who
need to report a change in earned
income will call an SSA toll-free
telephone number to report the change.
The participants will access SSA’s
system using knowledge-based
authentication (providing name, SSN
and date of birth). Participants will
either speak their report (voice
recognition technology) or key in the
information using the telephone key
pad. SSA will issue receipts to
participants who report wages using this
method. Respondents to this collection
are SSI recipients, deemors and
representative payees of recipients who
agree to participate in the pilot.
Type of Request: Extension of OMB
approval.
Number of Respondents: 600.
Frequency of Response: 7.
Average Burden per Response: 5
minutes.
Estimated Annual Burden: 350 hours.
Dated: June 30, 2006.

standards for transport category
airplanes related to damage tolerance
inspections for repairs. In addition, this
action announces that at a future date,
the FAA may revise the current
proposed AC 120–XX to add guidance
for damage tolerance inspections for
alterations.
DATES: Comments must be received by
September 18, 2006.
ADDRESSES: Send all comments on this
proposed AC to: Federal Aviation

Interested persons are invited to
comment on the proposed AC by
sending such written data, views, or
arguments, as they may desire.
Commenters should identify AC 120–
XX and send comments, in duplicate, to
the address specified above. All
communications received on or before
the closing date for comments will be
considered by the Transport Standards
Staff before issuing the final AC. The
proposed AC can be found and
downloaded from the Internet at https://

FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
Background
On April 21, 2006, the Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a
Notice of Availability of proposed
Advisory Circular (AC) 120–XX,
‘‘Damage Tolerance Inspections for
Repairs.’’ 1 Comments to that document
were to be received by June 20, 2006.
By letters dated May 26 and 30, and
June 6, 9, and 12, the Air Transport
Association of America, Inc. (ATA),
Airbus, the Cargo Airline Association
(CAA), Boeing Commercial Airplanes,
and National Air Carrier Association,
Inc. (NACA), respectively, asked the
FAA to extend the comment period for
the proposed AC. This AC supports the
proposed rule entitled ‘‘Damage
Tolerance Data for Repairs and
1 71
Alterations,’’ which we published on
April 21, 2006.2 Each petitioner
requested a 60-day extension, except
Boeing Commercial Airplanes asked for
a 90-day extension. Many of the
petitioners said the proposed AC and its
related proposed rule, as well as other
Aging Aircraft proposals and guidance
material, present complex issues that
would take time to review together.
We appreciate the petitioners’
substantive interest in the proposed AC
and believe that granting additional
time to review the document will allow
them to thoroughly assess the impact of
this AC and provide meaningful
comments. Therefore, we will reopen
the comment period until September 18,
2006. This date corresponds to the
comment period extension date,
approved in a separate Federal Register
notice, for the associated proposed rule,
‘‘Damage Tolerance Data for Repairs and
Alterations.’’ The extension of comment
period notice for the proposed rule will
be published concurrently with today’s
notice. We believe that extending the
comment period for the proposed AC to
September 18, 2006 to coincide with
that of the proposed rule will allow the
petitioners enough time to do a
complete review of both the AC and its
associated proposed rule.
Reopening of Comment Period
For the reasons provided in this
notice, the FAA believes that good cause
exists for reopening the comment period
for proposed AC 120–XX until
September 18, 2006. Absent unusual
circumstances, the FAA does not
anticipate any further extension of the
comment period for that proposed AC.
New Aviation Rulemaking Advisory
Committee (ARAC) Recommendations
Recently the ARAC informed us that
they will shortly complete the
development of new recommendations
on damage tolerance for alterations. The
current version of proposed AC 120–XX
only addresses damage tolerance
inspections for repairs. Since the new
ARAC recommendations may help
industry comply with the portion of the
‘‘Damage Tolerance Data for Repairs and
Alterations’’ proposal that relates to
alterations, we intend to consider
including them in a possible future
revision of proposed AC 120–XX. If the
current proposed AC is revised to
include the new recommendations, we
will make it available for public
comment.
Although the ARAC
recommendations will not be open to
public comment as part of today’s
FR 20750.
