SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION
Agency Information Collection
Activities: Proposed Request and
Comment Request
The Social Security Administration
(SSA) publishes a list of information
collection packages requiring clearance
by the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) in compliance with
Public Law (Pub. L.) 104–13, the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
effective October 1, 1995. This notice
includes revisions and extensions of
OMB-approved information collections.
SSA is soliciting comments on the
accuracy of the agency’s burden
estimate; the need for the information;
its practical utility; ways to enhance its
quality, utility, and clarity; and ways to
minimize burden on respondents,
including the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology. Mail, e-mail, or
fax your comments and
recommendations on the information
collection(s) to the OMB Desk Officer
and SSA Reports Clearance Director to
the following addresses or fax numbers.

Budget, Attn: Desk Officer for SSA,

Building, 6401 Security Blvd.,
Baltimore, MD 21235, Fax: 410–965–
0454, E-mail address:
OPLM.RCO@ssa.gov.
I. The information collection below is
pending at SSA. SSA will submit it to
OMB within 60 days from the date of
this notice. To be sure we consider your
comments, we must receive them no
later than August 2, 2010. Individuals
can obtain copies of the collection
instruments by calling the SSA Director
for Reports Clearance at 410–965–0454
or by writing to the above e-mail
address.
1. Request for Accommodation in
Communication Method—0960–0777.
In American Council of the Blind, et al.
v. Michael Astrue and Social Security
Administration, class plaintiffs
representing Social Security applicants,
beneficiaries, recipients, and
representative payees who are blind or
visually impaired challenged the
adequacy of the communication
methods SSA uses in its notices and
other communications. Prior to the
court’s order of October 20, 2009 in
American Council of the Blind, SSA
Number of
respondents
Method of information collection
offered three modes of communications
for blind and visually impaired Social
Security recipients: (1) A standard print
notice by first-class mail; (2) a standard
print notice by first-class mail with a
follow-up telephone call; and (3)
certified mail. In American Council of
the Blind, the court required SSA to
offer two additional modes of
communication to blind or visually
impaired applicants, beneficiaries,
recipients, and representative payees:
(4) Braille, and (5) Microsoft Word files
(on data compact discs).
In American Council of the Blind, the
court further ordered SSA to implement
Section 504 through 45 CFR 85.51 of the
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)
meaning SSA must ‘‘take appropriate
steps to ensure effective communication
with applicants, participants, personnel
of other Federal entities, and members
of the public.’’ To meet the court’s
mandates, SSA uses Form SSA–9000,
Request for Accommodation in
Communication Method, to gather
information from blind or visually
impaired individuals about why their
particular accommodation (other than
the five accommodations already offered
by the agency) will allow SSA to
communicate effectively with them.
This form asks respondents to describe
the type of accommodation they want,
to disclose the condition they have that
necessitates the need for a different type
of accommodation, and to explain why
none of the five methods described
above are sufficient for their needs. The
respondents are Social Security
applicants, beneficiaries, recipients, and
representative payees who are blind or
visually impaired and are asking SSA to
send them notices and other
communications in an alternative
method besides the five modalities we
describe in this notice.

death, SSA must contact the employer
and verify the reported wage and

information the employer previously
submitted is correct for the employee
and the year in question. The
respondents are employers who report

Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Request and
Comment Request
The Social Security Administration (SSA) publishes a list of
information collection packages requiring clearance by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) in compliance with Public Law (Pub. L.)
104-13, the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, effective October 1, 1995.
This notice includes revisions and extensions of OMB-approved
information collections.
SSA is soliciting comments on the accuracy of the agency's burden
estimate; the need for the information; its practical utility; ways to
enhance its quality, utility, and clarity; and ways to minimize burden
on respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology. Mail, e-mail, or fax your
comments and recommendations on the information collection(s) to the
OMB Desk Officer and SSA Reports Clearance Director to the following
addresses or fax numbers.

I. The information collection below is pending at SSA. SSA will
submit it to OMB within 60 days from the date of this notice. To be
sure we consider your comments, we must receive them no later than
August 2, 2010. Individuals can obtain copies of the collection
instruments by calling the SSA Director for Reports Clearance at 410-

1. Request for Accommodation in Communication Method--0960-0777. In
American Council of the Blind, et al. v. Michael Astrue and Social
Security Administration, class plaintiffs representing Social Security
applicants, beneficiaries, recipients, and representative payees who
are blind or visually impaired challenged the adequacy of the
communication methods SSA uses in its notices and other communications.
Prior to the court's order of October 20, 2009 in American Council of
the Blind, SSA offered three modes of communications for blind and
visually impaired Social Security recipients: (1) A standard print
notice by first-class mail; (2) a standard print notice by first-class
mail with a follow-up telephone call; and (3) certified mail. In
American Council of the Blind, the court required SSA to offer two
additional modes of communication to blind or visually impaired
applicants, beneficiaries, recipients, and representative payees: (4)
Braille, and (5) Microsoft Word files (on data compact discs).
In American Council of the Blind, the court further ordered SSA to
implement Section 504 through 45 CFR 85.51 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) meaning SSA must ``take appropriate steps to ensure
effective communication with applicants, participants, personnel of
other Federal entities, and members of the public.'' To meet the
court's mandates, SSA uses Form SSA-9000, Request for Accommodation in
Communication Method, to gather information from blind or visually
impaired individuals about why their particular accommodation (other
than the five accommodations already offered by the agency) will allow
SSA to communicate effectively with them. This form asks respondents to
describe the type of accommodation they want, to disclose the condition
they have that necessitates the need for a different type of
accommodation, and to explain why none of the five methods described
above are sufficient for their needs. The respondents are Social
Security applicants, beneficiaries, recipients, and representative
payees who are blind or visually impaired and are asking SSA to send
them notices and other communications in an alternative method besides
the five modalities we describe in this notice.
