sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES
modifications to our disability
determination procedures. We have
conducted several tests under the
authority of these rules. One of these
tests is a ‘‘prototype’’ that incorporates
two modifications to the disability
determination procedures that we use:
• A single decisionmaker (SDM), in
which disability examiners in the State
agencies that make disability
determinations for us may make the
initial disability determination in most
cases without requiring the signature of
a medical or psychological consultant,
and
• Elimination of the reconsideration
level of the administrative review
process.
Another test uses SDMs, but keeps the
reconsideration level.
Until August 1, 2006, there were 10
States participating in the prototype
test: Alabama, Alaska, California (Los
Angeles North and West Branches),
Colorado, Louisiana, Michigan,
Missouri, New Hampshire, New York,
and Pennsylvania. Another 10 State
agencies participated in the SDM-only
test: Florida, Guam, Kansas, Kentucky,
Maine, Nevada, North Carolina,
Vermont, Washington, and West
Virginia. On August 1, 2006, Maine,
New Hampshire, and Vermont, which
are States in our Boston region, stopped
participating in their respective tests
because they were among the first States
to implement the DSI process.1 The tests
in the other States have continued.
On January 15, 2008, we published a
final rule entitled, ‘‘Suspension of New
Claims to the Federal Reviewing Official
Review Level’’ (73 FR 2411).2 The
Federal Reviewing Official review level
was part of the DSI process and replaced
the reconsideration level of our
administrative review process for cases
we adjudicated in the Boston region
under the DSI process. As the title of the
final rule states, we will be suspending
the Federal Reviewing Official process.
This means that we will be going back
to the same processes we were following
before August 1, 2006, whether that
process was reconsideration under
§§ 404.907 and 416.1407 or the testing
procedures under §§ 404.906 and
416.1406. Therefore, as of the effective
date of the final rule suspending the
FedRO process:
• New Hampshire will become a
prototype State again,
1 The other States in the Boston region are
Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island.
2 In the notice we published on January 15, 2008,
we stated that the effective date of the final rule
would be March 15, 2008. However, on February
27, 2008, we published a correction notice in the
Federal Register providing that the effective date
would be March 23, 2008 (73 FR 10381).
VerDate Aug<31>2005
18:46 Mar 06, 2008
Jkt 214001
• The first level of appeal in all the
other States in the Boston region will be
reconsideration by the State agency, and
• Maine and Vermont will use SDMs.
Since the rule suspending the use of
the Federal Reviewing Official will be
effective on March 23, 2008, that is also
the date on which we will make the
changes described here in Maine, New
Hampshire, and Vermont.
In a Federal Register notice we
published on August 10, 2006, we
explained that the selection of cases for
the current tests is scheduled to end no
later than September 30, 2009 (71 FR
45890). We also explained that we may
decide to extend the tests, and that, if
we do, we will publish another notice
in the Federal Register. We are not
extending the scheduled ending dates of
these tests now, and will use the same
date for Maine, New Hampshire, and
Vermont that we use for the other States
participating in the tests. Therefore, our
selection of cases in Maine, New
Hampshire, and Vermont will end on or
before September 30, 2009, unless we
publish another notice in the Federal
Register extending the tests.
Dated: March 3, 2008.

Deputy Commissioner for Operations.
