ACTION:
SUMMARY: We are establishing the
Occupational Information Development
Advisory Panel (Panel) under the
provisions of the Federal Advisory
Committee Act (FACA). The creation of
the Panel, while discretionary, is
necessary and in the public interest. It
will help us to perform our statutory

suggest to the Panel cities and States in
the contiguous United States in which
to hold Panel meetings. To the extent
possible, we intend to hold Panel
meetings in a variety of locations

possible.

Panel
members will analyze the occupational
information used by SSA in our
disability programs and provide expert
guidance as we develop an occupational
information system (OIS) tailored for
these programs. We plan to design the
OIS to improve our disability policies
and processes and to ensure up-to-date
vocational evidence in our disability
programs. We will select Panel members
based primarily on their occupational
expertise. This Panel will provide
guidance on our plans and actions to
replace the Dictionary of Occupational
Titles and its companion volume, The
Selected Characteristics of Occupations.
We expect to tailor the OIS specifically
for our disability programs.
The Panel will be composed of not
more than 12 members, including: (a)
Members of academia recognized as
experts in relevant subject areas, such as
occupational analysis, vocational
assessment, and physical and
occupational rehabilitation; (b)
professional experts in relevant subject
areas, such as vocational rehabilitation,
forensic vocational assessment, and
disability insurance programs; (c)
medical professionals with experience
in relevant subject areas such as
occupational or physical rehabilitation
medicine, psychiatry or psychology, and
physical or occupational therapy; (d)
professional experts who represent or
advocate on behalf of the disabled
claimants; and (e) an agency employee
who has expertise in our disability
program policies, processes, and
systems. The Panel is continuing in
nature. In accordance with the FACA,
we will publish a notice of the first
Panel meeting in the Federal Register .
