Collection Background
Section 1612(1)(C) of the Social
Security Act (the Act) and regulations at
42 U.S.C. 1382a define remuneration
received for services performed in a
sheltered workshop as earned income
for the Supplemental Security Income
(SSI) program. The amount of monthly
wages determines an individual’s SSI
benefit amount.
Collection Description
SSA has maintained a working
relationship with sheltered workshops
since the inception of the SSI program.
Most workshops report monthly wage
totals to the local SSA office so that the
client’s SSI check is adjusted timely and
overpayments are prevented. While
participation of the workshop is strictly
voluntary, they are highly motivated to
report the wages because it provides a
service to their clients. Sheltered
Workshop reporting reduces the number
of overpayments to SSI recipients.
Processing these wage reports
electronically reduces the cost of
administering the program. SSA uses
the information collected to verify and
post monthly wages to the SSI
recipient’s record. Respondents are
sheltered workshops that report

Records—20 CFR 404.704, 404.716,
416.802, and 422.107—0960–0693. SSA
prepares the SSA–L106 and SSA–L706
for individuals who need help in
obtaining evidence of their age in
connection with Social Security number
card applications and claims for
benefits. SSA also uses the SSA–L706 to
determine the existence of primary
evidence of age for Social Security

both letters to verify with the issuing
entity, when necessary, the authenticity
of the record submitted by the SSN
applicant or claimant. The respondents
are schools, state and local bureaus of

adjudicative teams use the information
gathered by these forms in combination
with other medical functional evidence
to form a complete picture of a child’s
ability to function. This information is
used to help determine if a child is
disabled, especially in cases in which
disability cannot be found on medical
grounds alone. The respondents are
applicants for Title XVI childhood
disability benefits and their caregivers.

Estimated Annual Burden: 183,333

2. Annual Registration Statement
Identifying Separated Participants With
Deferred Benefits, Schedule SSA—
0960–0606. Schedule SSA is a form
filed annually as part of a series of
pension plan documents required by
section 6057 of the Internal Revenue
Service Code. Administrators of pension
benefit plans are required to report
specific information on future plan
benefits for those participants who left
plan coverage during the year. SSA
maintains the information until a claim
for Social Security benefits has been
approved. At that time, SSA notifies the
beneficiary of his/her potential
eligibility for payments from the private
pension plan. The respondents are
administrators of pension benefit plans
or their service providers employed to
prepare the Schedule SSA on behalf of
the pension benefit plan. Below are the
estimates of the cost and hour burdens
for completing and filing Schedule
SSA(s). We have used an average to
estimate the hour burden. However, the
burden may be greater or smaller
depending on whether the respondent is
a large or small pension benefit plan
and how many Schedule SSA’s are filed
in a given year.
Type of Request: Extension of an
OMB-approved information collection.
Number of Respondents: 88,000.
Frequency of Response: 1.
Average Burden per Response: 2.5

Federal Railroad Administration
Notice of Application for Approval of
Discontinuance or Modification of a
Railroad Signal System or Relief From
the Requirements of Title 49 Code of
Federal Regulations Part 236
Pursuant to Title 49 Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) Part 235 and 49
U.S.C. 20502(a), the following railroads
have petitioned the Federal Railroad
Administration (FRA) seeking approval
for the discontinuance or modification
of the signal system or relief from the
requirements of 49 CFR Part 236, as
detailed below.
Docket Number FRA–2007–28885
Applicants: CSX Transportation,
Incorporated, Mr. C.M. King, Chief
Engineer, Communications and
Signals, 500 Water Street, SC J–350,
Jacksonville, Florida 32202.
Virginia Railway Express, Mr. Dale
Zehner, Suite 202, 1500 King Street,
Alexandria, Virginia 22314.
CSX Transportation, Incorporated
(CSXT) and Virginia Railway Express
(VRE) jointly seek approval of the
proposed discontinuance and removal
of the signal system on VRE Yard Lead
Track (Milepost CFP–53.2) on CSXT’s
Baltimore Division, RF&P Subdivision,
at Massaponax, Virginia. The proposed
changes consist of the discontinuance
and removal of the bidirectional
automatic block signal system (Rules
261-ABS), a traffic control system on
approximately 2,000 feet of VRE Yard
Lead Track, and the conversion of this
section of trackage into an ‘‘other than
main track’’ operation (Rule 96).
Authorized train speeds will be
governed by Rule 46.
The reason given for the proposed
changes is that present-day operations
do not warrant retention of the signal
system.
Any interested party desiring to
protest the granting of an application
shall set forth specifically the grounds
upon which the protest is made, and
include a concise statement of the
interest of the party in the proceeding.
Additionally, one copy of the protest
shall be furnished to the applicants at
the address listed above.
FRA expects to be able to determine
these matters without an oral hearing.
However, if a specific request for an oral
hearing is accompanied by a showing
that the party is unable to adequately
present his or her position by written
statements, an application may be set
for public hearing.
All communications concerning this
proceeding should be identified by

adjusted timely and overpayments are prevented. While participation of
the workshop is strictly voluntary, they are highly motivated to report
the wages because it provides a service to their clients. Sheltered
Workshop reporting reduces the number of overpayments to SSI
recipients. Processing these wage reports electronically reduces the
cost of administering the program. SSA uses the information collected
to verify and post monthly wages to the SSI recipient's record.
Respondents are sheltered workshops that report monthly wages for
services performed in the workshop.

help in obtaining evidence of their age in connection with Social
Security number card applications and claims for benefits. SSA also
uses the SSA-L706 to determine the existence of primary evidence of age
for Social Security Number (SSN) applicants, and SSA uses both letters
to verify with the issuing entity, when necessary, the authenticity of
the record submitted by the SSN applicant or claimant. The respondents
are schools, state and local bureaus of vital statistics, and religious
entities.

12th Birthday (SSA-3378), and Age 12 to 18th Birthday (SSA-3379)--20
CFR 416.912--0960-0542. State Agency adjudicative teams use the
information gathered by these forms in combination with other medical
functional evidence to form a complete picture of a child's ability to
function. This information is used to help determine if a child is
disabled, especially in cases in which disability cannot be found on
medical grounds alone. The respondents are applicants for Title XVI
childhood disability benefits and their caregivers.

2. Annual Registration Statement Identifying Separated Participants
With Deferred Benefits, Schedule SSA--0960-0606. Schedule SSA is a form
filed annually as part of a series of pension plan documents required
by section 6057 of the Internal Revenue Service Code. Administrators of
pension benefit plans are required to report specific information on
future plan benefits for those participants who left plan coverage
during the year. SSA maintains the information until a claim for Social
Security benefits has been approved. At that time, SSA notifies the
beneficiary of his/her potential eligibility for payments from the
private pension plan. The respondents are administrators of pension
benefit plans or their service providers employed to prepare the
Schedule SSA on behalf of the pension benefit plan. Below are the
estimates of the cost and hour burdens for completing and filing
Schedule SSA(s). We have used an average to estimate the hour burden.
However, the burden may be greater or smaller depending on whether the
respondent is a large or small pension benefit plan and how many
Schedule SSA's are filed in a given year.
Type of Request: Extension of an OMB-approved information
collection.
Number of Respondents: 88,000.
Frequency of Response: 1.
