of individuals, businesses,
organizations, entities, and government
agencies to use SSA’s eService Internet
and telephone applications for
requesting and exchanging business
data with SSA. The requestor provides
information, prescribed by SSA, to
establish his or her identity. Once SSA
verifies identity, IRES will issue the
requestor a user identification number
(User ID) and a password to conduct
business with SSA. Respondents are
employers and third party submitters of
wage data, business entities providing
taxpayer identification information, and
data exchange partners conducting
business in support of SSA programs.

Internal Revenue Service regulations
obligate employers to provide wage and
tax data to SSA using Form W–2 or its
electronic equivalent. As part of this
process the employer must furnish the
employee’s name and Social Security
number (SSN). The employee’s name
and SSN must match SSA’s records for
SSA to post earnings to the employee’s
earnings record, which SSA maintains.
SSA offers several cost-free methods for
employers to verify employee
information. The cost-free methods
include:
(1) Internet-based service, known as
the Social Security Number Verification
Service (SSNVS)—employers can verify
if the reported names and SSNs of their
employees match SSA’s records;
(2) The Employee Verification Service
(EVS)—employers verify, via paper and

TRADE REPRESENTATIVE
[Docket No. USTR–2008–0036]
Additional Delay in Modification of
Action Taken in Connection With WTO
Dispute Settlement Proceedings on the
European Communities’ Ban on
Imports of U.S. Beef and Beef Products
erowe on PROD1PC64 with NOTICES
AGENCY: Office of the United States
Trade Representative.
ACTION: Notice and modification of
action.
SUMMARY: On January 15, 2009, the
United States Trade Representative
(‘‘Trade Representative’’) announced
modifications (‘‘January 15
modifications’’) to the action taken in
July 1999 in connection with the World
Trade Organization (‘‘WTO’’)
authorization of the United States in the
EC-Beef Hormones dispute to suspend
concessions and related obligations with
respect to the European Communities
(‘‘EC’’). See 74 FR 4265 (Jan. 23, 2009).
The January 15 modifications initially
had an effective date of March 23, 2009.
The Trade Representative subsequently
delayed the effective date of the
additional duties imposed under the
VerDate Nov<24>2008
15:33 Apr 27, 2009
Jkt 217001
January 15 modifications until April 23,
2009. The effective date of the removal
of duties under the January 15
modifications remained March 23, 2009.
See 74 FR 11613 (March 18, 2009); 74
FR 12402 (March 24, 2009). In order to
allow additional time to reach
agreement with the EC on an interim
solution that would provide benefits to
the U.S. beef industry, the Trade
Representative has decided to delay the
effective date of the additional duties
imposed under the January 15
modifications from April 23, 2009 until
May 9, 2009.
Effective Date: The additional duties
under the January 15 modifications
shall be effective with respect to
products that are entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or
after May 9, 2009.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Roger Wentzel, Director, Agricultural
Affairs, (202) 395–6127 or David
Weiner, Director for the European
Union, (202) 395–4620 for questions
concerning the EC-Beef Hormones
dispute; or William Busis, Associate
General Counsel and Chair of the
Section 301 Committee, (202) 395–3150,
for questions concerning procedures
under Section 301.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: For
background concerning the EC-Beef
Hormones WTO dispute, the January 15
modifications, and the initial delay in
the effective date of the modifications,
see 74 FR 4265 (Jan. 23, 2009), 74 FR
11613 (March 18, 2009), and 74 FR
12402 (March 24, 2009).
Pursuant to Section 305 of the Trade
Act of 1974, the Trade Representative
has determined that a further delay in
implementation of the January 15
modifications would be desirable to
obtain a satisfactory solution with
respect to the EC’s ban on U.S. beef.
Accordingly, the Trade Representative
has decided to delay the effective date
of the additional duties imposed under
the January 15 modifications from April
23, 2009 until May 9, 2009. The actions
to be delayed are: (i) The imposition of
increased duties on additional products,
(ii) the application to products of
additional EC member States of the
increased duties on currently covered
products, and (iii) the increase in the
level of duties on one of the products
that is being maintained on the product
list. These are the same actions that
were previously delayed until April 23,
2009.
The increased duties under the
January 15 modifications are set out in
Annex II of the notice published at 74
FR 12402 (March 24, 2009). In order to
delay the effective date of the increased
PO 00000

date of ‘‘April 23, 2009’’ set out in the
second line of Part B of Annex II of the
notice published at 74 FR 12402 is
hereby changed to ‘‘May 9, 2009’’. Any
merchandise covered under Part B of
Annex II of the notice published at 74

foreign-trade zone on or after May 9,
2009 must be admitted in ‘‘privileged

SSA has a password infrastructure and process for verifying the
identity of individuals who choose to use the Internet and the
automated telephone response system to conduct personal business with
SSA in an electronic environment. To obtain a password from SSA's
Individual Password Services, we ask an individual for certain
information, prescribed by SSA. SSA uses the information to
authenticate an individual prior to issuing a temporary password. Once
SSA authenticates an individual, and the individual creates a permanent
password, he or she may use SSA's password protected services, e.g.,
account status, change of address, direct deposit elections, or
changes. The respondents are individuals electing to do personal
business with SSA through an electronic medium.

3. Social Security Number Verification Services--20 CFR 401.45--0960-

Internal Revenue Service regulations obligate employers to provide
wage and tax data to SSA using Form W-2 or its electronic equivalent.
As part of this process the employer must furnish the employee's name
and Social Security number (SSN). The employee's name and SSN must
match SSA's records for SSA to post earnings to the employee's earnings
record, which SSA maintains. SSA offers several cost-free methods for
employers to verify employee information. The cost-free methods
include:
(1) Internet-based service, known as the Social Security Number
Verification Service (SSNVS)--employers can verify if the reported
names and SSNs of their employees match SSA's records;
(2) The Employee Verification Service (EVS)--employers verify, via
paper and telephone, whether the reported names and SSNs of their
employees match SSA's records;
(3) SSA's National 800 Number--an automated telephone employee
verification service (TNEV) that allows callers with an SSA-authorized
PIN and password to verify employees' names and SSNs through TNEV.
