respondent’s country of residence.
Respondents are Social Security
recipients engaged in farming activities
outside the United States.

4. Beneficiary Recontact Form—20
CFR 404.703, 404.705—0960–0502. SSA
must ensure that recipients of disability
benefits continue to be eligible for their
payments. Research has indicated
benefit recipients may fail to report
circumstances that affect their benefits.
Two such cases are: (1) When a parent
receiving disability benefits for his or
her child marry; and (2) the removal of
an entitled child from parents’ care.
SSA uses Form SSA–1588–OCR–SM to
ask parents about their marital status
and children in their care to detect
overpayments and avoid improper
payments. Respondents are recipients of
mother/father Title II Social Security
benefits.
Type of Request: Revision of an OMBapproved information collection.

5. Complaint Form for Allegations of
Discrimination in Programs or Activities
Conducted by the Social Security
Administration—0960–0585. SSA uses
Form SSA–437 to investigate and
formally resolve complaints of
discrimination based on disability, race,
color, national origin (including limited
English proficiency), sex, sexual
orientation, age, religion, or retaliation
for having participated in a proceeding
under this administrative complaint
process in connection with an SSA
program or activity. SSA also uses this
form to review, investigate, and resolve
complaints alleging discrimination
based on status as a parent in education,
training programs, or activities
conducted by SSA. Individuals who
believe SSA discriminated against them
on any of the above basis may file a

complainant; identify the alleged
discriminatory act; ascertain the date of
such alleged act; obtain the identity of
any individual(s) with information

of 1961, Public Law 87–256, as
amended, also known as the FulbrightHays Act. The purpose of the Act is ‘‘to
enable the Government of the United
States to increase mutual understanding
between the people of the United States
and the people of other countries * * *;
to strengthen the ties which unite us
with other nations by demonstrating the
educational and cultural interests,
developments, and achievements of the
people of the United States and other
nations * * * and thus to assist in the
development of friendly, sympathetic
and peaceful relations between the
United States and the other countries of
the world.’’ The funding authority for
the program above is provided through
legislation.
Purpose
To gain an accurate and up-to-date
picture of international educational
exchange activity in the United States in
fulfillment of the Bureau’s mandate,
under the Fulbright-Hays Act, to
promote mutual understanding through
international educational exchange. The
survey will focus on foreign students,
foreign scholars, U.S. students studying
overseas in credit-bearing programs, and
enrollees in intensive English language
programs.
Guidelines
Proposals to conduct this project
should describe plans for a statistical
survey that will offer a detailed and
comprehensive picture of the number
and academic characteristics (e.g., major
fields of study or program, level of
study) of non-immigrant foreign
nationals (i.e., excluding permanent
residents and refugees) enrolled as
students or affiliated as scholars in
American institutions of higher
learning, as well as the number of U.S.
students studying abroad. Topics that
should be covered in the survey include
the number of foreign students and
scholars, their gender and countries of
origin. Information should be included
about students’ academic levels
(undergraduate, graduate, postdoctorate), fields of study, primary
sources of financial support, the
financial contributions they make while
in the United States, and geographic
locations. Applications should include a
plan to conduct research that increases
understanding of student exchange
