1. Sheltered Workshop Wage
Reporting—0960–NEW.
Collection Background
Section 1612(1)(C) of the Social
Security Act (the Act) and 42 U.S.C.
1382a define remuneration received for
services performed in a sheltered
workshop as earned income for the SSI
program. The amount of monthly wages
determines an individual’s SSI benefit
amount.
ycherry on PRODPC74 with NOTICES
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
monthly wages for services performed
in the workshop.
Type of Request: New information
collection.
Number of Respondents: 1,000.

Average Burden Per Response: 5

and (e), 408.941(b) and 408.942—0960–
0698. Title VIII allows the payment of
a monthly benefit by the Commissioner
of Social Security to a qualified World
War II veteran who resides outside the
United States. When an overpayment in
SVB occurs, the beneficiary can use this
form to request waiver of recovery of the
overpayment or a change in the
repayment rate. The SSA–2032–BK will
be used to obtain the information
necessary to determine whether the
provisions of the Act regarding waiver
of recovery of the overpayment are met.
The information on the form is needed
to determine a repayment rate if
repayment cannot be waived. The
respondents are beneficiaries who have
overpayments on their Title VIII record
and wish to file a claim for waiver of
recovery or change in repayment rate.
Type of Request: Extension of an
OMB-approved information collection.

Project Background
The FHWA, in cooperation with the
Iowa Department of Transportation
(Iowa DOT), the City of Council Bluffs,
and Pottawattamie County, will be
preparing an EIS for the proposed East
Beltway. The proposed project includes
roadway improvements between US 6/
225th Street and IA 92/Orchard Road,
and improvements on the connecting
roadways of Steven Lane and Greenview
Road.
Council Bluffs and Pottawattamie
County have developed a joint plan
(‘‘Two Mile Limit Study’’) for
development and infrastructure needs
east of Council Bluffs to accommodate
projected development growth in the
metropolitan area. From the Two Mile
Limit Study, the East Beltway was
identified as an infrastructure need for
the development area. The proposed
East Beltway will provide a north/south
route east of I–80 and provide access to
existing and future development within
the Little Pony Creek drainage basin and
parts of unincorporated Pottawattamie

County. The proposed project would
also provide system continuity for the
Council Bluffs/Omaha area by providing
a connection between US 6 and IA 92.
The proposed East Beltway would
relieve congestion on I–80 and the
southeast I–29/I–80 systems
interchange.
Potential alternatives and
combinations thereof will include but
are not limited to: (1) Taking no action,
i.e., the No-Build Alternative; (2)
strategies to better manage
transportation demand; (3) improving
existing roadways, pedestrian
walkways, and bikeways; and (4)
constructing a new roadway connection.
The build alternative will include
consideration of various alignments and
grades in order to minimize potential
environmental impacts. Letters
describing the proposed action and
soliciting comments will be sent to
appropriate Federal, State, and local
agencies, and to private organizations
and citizens who have previously
expressed or are known to have interest
in the proposed project.
The EIS will be initiated with a
scoping process. The scoping process
will include a program of public
outreach and agency coordination that
will be conducted over the next several
months in order to elicit input on the
project purpose and need, potential
alternatives, significant and
insignificant issues, and collaborative
methods for analyzing transportation
alternatives and environmental impacts.
As part of the scoping process, several
public meetings will be held in Council
Bluffs or unincorporated Pottawattamie
County, to meet with federal, state, and
local agencies, as well as private
individuals and organizations
concerned with the project. In addition,
a public hearing will be held in
connection with the circulation of the
draft EIS (DEIS). Public notice will be
given concerning the date and location
of the public meeting(s) and public
hearing.
The information gained during the
scoping process will be widely
disseminated and used to guide the
development of the EIS. All comments
and input received during the scoping
and subsequent steps of the EIS process
will be considered and documented.
Beginning with scoping, continuous and
regularly public involvement and
agency coordination will continue
throughout the preparation of the EIS.
To ensure that a full range of issues
are addressed in relation to the
proposed action and that all significant
issues are identified, all interested
parties are invited to submit comments
and suggestions. Comments or questions
