Section 303 of the Social Security Protection Act of 2004 (SSPA) provides for a 5-year demonstration project under which SSA extends the direct payment of approved fees to certain non-attorney claimant representatives. Under the SSPA, to be eligible for direct payment of fees, a non-attorney representative must fulfill the following statutory requirements: (1) Possess a bachelors degree or have equivalent qualifications from training and work experience; (2) pass an examination that tests knowledge of the relevant provisions of the Social Security Act; (3) secure professional liability insurance or equivalent insurance; (4) pass a criminal background check; and (5) demonstrate completion of relevant continuing education courses.

The income-related monthly adjustment amount represents the amount of decrease in the Medicare Part B premium subsidy; i.e., the amount of the Federal Government’s contribution to the Federal Supplementary Medical Insurance Trust Fund. SSA uses these regulations to determine when a monthly adjustment amount to a beneficiary’s standard monthly premium under Medicare Part B occurs.

Notice of the extension of tests involving modifications to the disability determination procedures. AGENCY: ACTION: SUMMARY: We are announcing the extension of tests involving modifications to disability determination procedures authorized by 20 CFR 404.906 and 416.1406. These rules authorize us to test several modifications to the disability determination procedures for adjudicating claims for disability insurance benefits under title II of the Social Security Act (Act) and for supplemental security income payments based on disability under title XVI of the Act. DATES: We are extending our selection of cases to be included in these tests from September 30, 2009 until no later than September 28, 2012. If we decide to continue selection of cases for these tests beyond this date, we will publish another notice in the Federal Register.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Our current rules authorize us to test, individually or in any combination, certain modifications of the disability determination procedures. 20 CFR 404.906 and 416.1406. We have conducted several tests under the authority of these rules. In the ‘‘single decisionmaker,’’ test, a disability examiner may make the initial disability determination in most cases without obtaining the signature of a medical or psychological consultant. We also have conducted a separate test, which we call the ‘‘prototype,’’ in 10 States. 64 FR 47218. Currently, the prototype combines the single decisionmaker approach described above with the elimination of the reconsideration level of our administrative review process. We have extended the time period for selecting claims for these tests several PO 00000 Frm 00089 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 48797 times. Most recently, on August 10, 2006, we extended the time period until September 30, 2009. 71 FR 45890. We have decided to extend case selection for the current disability prototype process (single decisionmaker and elimination of the reconsideration step) and for the separate test of the single decisionmaker until September 28, 2012. If we decide to end case selection for any part of the disability prototype in any the 10 States in which we are conducting the tests prior to September 28, 2012, we will publish another notice in the Federal Register.

    2. Substitution of Party upon Death of Claimant--20 CFR 
404.957(c)(4) and 416.1457(c)(4)--0960-0288. SSA collects information 
on Form HA-539

[[Page 48796]]

when a claimant for Social Security or Supplemental Security Income 
benefits dies while his or her request for a hearing is pending. The 
information SSA collects establishes a written record of the request of 
any individual who asks to be made a substitute party for a deceased 
claimant. It also facilitates a decision by SSA on whom, if anyone, 
should become a substitute party for the deceased. The Administrative 
Law Judge and the hearing office support staff use this information to: 
(1) Establish the relationship of the requester to the deceased 
claimant; (2) determine the substituted individual's wishes regarding 
an oral hearing or decision on the record; and (3) admit the data into 
the claimant's official record as an exhibit. The respondents are 
individuals requesting to be made a substitute party for a deceased 
claimant.
    Type of Request: Extension of an OMB-approved information 
collection.
    Number of Respondents: 4,000.
    Frequency of Response: 1.
    Average Burden Per Response: 5 minutes.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 333 hours.
    3. Non-Attorney Representative Demonstration Project Application--
20 CFR 404.1745-404.1799 and 20 CFR 416.1545-416.1599--0960-0699. 
Section 303 of the Social Security Protection Act of 2004 (SSPA) 
provides for a 5-year demonstration project under which SSA extends the 
direct payment of approved fees to certain non-attorney claimant 
representatives. Under the SSPA, to be eligible for direct payment of 
fees, a non-attorney representative must fulfill the following 
statutory requirements: (1) Possess a bachelors degree or have 
equivalent qualifications from training and work experience; (2) pass 
an examination that tests knowledge of the relevant provisions of the 
Social Security Act; (3) secure professional liability insurance or 
equivalent insurance; (4) pass a criminal background check; and (5) 
demonstrate completion of relevant continuing education courses. 
Through the services of a private contractor, SSA must collect the 
requested information to determine if a non-attorney representative has 
met the statutory requirements to be eligible for direct payment of 
fees for his or her claimant representation services. SSA needs this 
information to comply with the legislation. The respondents are non-
attorney representatives who apply for direct payment of fees.
    Type of Request: Revision of an OMB-approved information 
collection.
    Number of Respondents: 700.
    Frequency of Response: 1.
    Average Burden Per Response: 60 minutes.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 700 hours.
    4. Medicare Part B Income-Related Monthly Adjustment Amount 
Subsidies Regulations--20 CFR 418--0960-0741. The Medicare Prescription 
Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act (MMA) of 2003 established the 
Medicare Part B program for voluntary prescription drug coverage of 
premium, deductible, and co-payment costs for certain low-income 
individuals. The income-related monthly adjustment amount represents 
the amount of decrease in the Medicare Part B premium subsidy; i.e., 
the amount of the Federal Government's contribution to the Federal 
Supplementary Medical Insurance Trust Fund. SSA uses these regulations 
to determine when a monthly adjustment amount to a beneficiary's 
standard monthly premium under Medicare Part B occurs. The respondents 
are applicants for the Medicare Part B income-related monthly 
adjustment amount. The regulations sections below contain public 
reporting requirements for which no OMB-approved forms exist.
    Type of Request: Extension of an OMB-approved information 
collection.

    II. SSA has submitted the information collections we list below to 
OMB for clearance. Your comments on the information collections would 
be most useful if OMB and SSA receive them within 30 days from the date 
of this publication. To be sure we consider your comments, we must 
receive them no later than October 26, 2009. You can obtain a copy of 
the OMB clearance packages by calling the SSA Director for Reports

SSA uses Form SSA-773-U4 for claimants, or their representatives, to 
officially waive their right to appear at a disability hearing. The 
disability hearing officer uses the signed form as a basis for not 
holding a hearing and for preparing a written decision on the claimants 
request for disability based solely on the evidence of record. The 
respondents are claimants, or their representatives, for disability
