SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SSRs
make available to the public
precedential decisions relating to the
Federal old-age, survivors, disability
and supplemental security income
programs. SSRs may be based on case
decisions made at all administrative
levels of adjudication, Federal court
decisions, Commissioner’s decisions,
opinions of the Office of the General
Counsel, and other policy
interpretations of the law and
regulations.
On July 11, 1994, we issued SSR 94–
4p which implemented the decisions in
Buffington, et al. v. Schweiker and
Califano v. Yamasaki, and provided that
prior to the denial of waiver of recovery
of an overpayment, SSA will conduct a
face-to-face pre-recoupment hearing.
SSR 94–4p stated our policy of:
• Giving adequate written notice of a
determination of overpayment and the
VerDate Aug<31>2005
14:33 Jan 10, 2008
Jkt 214001
right to contest such determination and
request waiver of recovery of the
overpayment; and
• Providing the person from whom
we are seeking recovery of an
overpayment with the opportunity for a
face-to-face oral hearing before we deny
a request for waiver of recovery of the
overpayment.
In 1996, 20 CFR 404.502a
incorporated the provision of giving
adequate written notice of a
determination of overpayment and the
right to contest such determination and
request waiver of recovery of the
overpayment. The provision of giving
the opportunity for a hearing before we
deny a request for waiver of recovery of
the overpayment was incorporated into
20 CFR 404.506(e)(1), which states that
the individual is given the opportunity
to ‘‘appear personally’’ at the personal
conference. Current regulations do not
further specify the method in which this
appearance may be made. Although our
policy has been to provide a face-to-face
appearance at the field office, this is not
always convenient for the beneficiary.
Often, if a beneficiary is not able to
come to the face-to-face conference,
field office personnel will go to the
person to hold the conference. Offering
additional appearance options for the
conference would improve service to
the beneficiaries and reduce costly
home visits by field personnel.
In order to fulfill our stewardship
responsibilities to the Social Security
trust fund, we must employ methods
that will simplify our personal
conference procedures and use our
resources most efficiently. We should be
using all available technology when we
conduct personal conferences.
Therefore, elsewhere in this Federal
Register, we published the final rule
‘‘Methods for Conducting Personal
Conferences When Waiver of Recovery
of a Title II or Title XVI Overpayment
Cannot Be Approved’’ which revised the
regulations to allow for personal
conferences to be conducted face-to-face
at a place we designate (usually in the
field office), by telephone, or by video
teleconference. Consequently, SSR 94–
4p is obsolete and rescinded as of
February 11, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA), Pub. L. No. 104–13, § 2, 109 Stat.
163 (1995) (codified as revised at 44
U.S.C. 3501–3520), and its
implementing regulations, 5 CFR Part
1320, require Federal agencies to
provide 60-days notice to the public for
comment on information collection
activities before seeking approval for
reinstatement or renewal by OMB. 44
U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A); 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1),
1320.10(e)(1), 1320.12(a). Specifically,
FRA invites interested respondents to
comment on the following summary of
proposed information collection
activities regarding (i) whether the
information collection activities are
necessary for FRA to properly execute
its functions, including whether the
activities will have practical utility; (ii)
the accuracy of FRA’s estimates of the
burden of the information collection
activities, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used to
determine the estimates; (iii) ways for
FRA to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information being
collected; and (iv) ways for FRA to
minimize the burden of information
collection activities on the public by
automated, electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology (e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses). See 44 U.S.C.
§ 3506(c)(2)(A)(I)–(iv); 5 CFR
1320.8(d)(1)(I)–(iv). FRA believes that
soliciting public comment will promote
its efforts to reduce the administrative
and paperwork burdens associated with
the collection of information mandated
by Federal regulations. In summary,
FRA reasons that comments received
will advance three objectives: (i) Reduce
reporting burdens; (ii) ensure that it
organizes information collection
requirements in a ‘‘user friendly’’ format
to improve the use of such information;
and (iii) accurately assess the resources
expended to retrieve and produce
information requested. See 44 U.S.C.
3501.
Below is a brief summary of the
currently approved information
collection activities that FRA will
submit for clearance by OMB as
required under the PRA:
Title: Reflectorization of Freight
Rolling Stock.
OMB Control Number: 2130–0566.
Abstract: The Federal Railroad
Administration (FRA) issued this
regulation to mandate the
reflectorization of freight rolling stock
(freight cars and locomotives) to
enhance the visibility of trains in order
to reduce the number and severity of
accidents at highway-rail grade
crossings in which train visibility acted
as a contributing factor. The information
collected is used by FRA to ensure that
railroads/car owners follow the
schedule established by the regulation
for placing retro-reflective material on
the sides of freight rolling stock (freight
cars and locomotives) in order to
improve the visibility of trains. The
information collected is also used by
FRA to confirm that railroads/car
owners meet the prescribed standards
for the application, inspection, and
maintenance of the required retroreflective material.

Petition for Waiver of Compliance
In accordance with Part 211 of Title
49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR),
notice is hereby given that the Federal
Railroad Administration (FRA) received
a request for a temporary waiver of
compliance from certain requirements
of its safety standards. The individual
petition is described below, including

provisions involved, the nature of the
relief being requested, and the
petitioner’s arguments in favor of relief.

[Docket Number FRA–2006–26177]
The Ohio Central Railroad System
(OCRS) has submitted a temporary
waiver petition to support field testing
of its processor-based train control
system, identified as the OCRS Positive
Train Control (OCRS PTC), pursuant to
sections 211.7 and 211.51.
An informational filing, as required
under Part 236, Subpart H, has also been
prepared and submitted in conjunction
with this waiver petition, and can be
found in the same docket as this waiver
petition (FRA–2006–26177).
The OCRS PTC system is designed to
prevent authority limit and overspeed
violations in nonsignaled Track Warrant
Control territory, and to prevent
equipped trains from entering, without
authorization, the limits of on-track
authority granted to employees.
OCRS desires to commence field
testing of the OCRS PTC system in the
4th quarter of 2007, or as soon as
practicable thereafter, contingent upon
FRA’s acceptance and approval of the
informational filing and waiver petition.
OCRS intends to test and develop the
OCRS PTC system on its C&N
Subdivision between Columbus and
Newark, OH. During this initial test
phase, however, OCRS does not intend
to activate the OCRS PTC system’s
locomotive enforcement functionality.
OCRS is seeking regulatory relief for
development testing and demonstration
purposes only. Specifically, OCRS is
requesting regulatory relief from the
following FRA requirements:

5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), 1320.10(e)(1), 1320.12(a). Specifically, FRA
