Section 19(b)(2) of the Act 4 provides
that within thirty-five days of the
publication of notice of the filing of a
proposed rule change, or within such
longer period as the Commission may
designate up to ninety days of such date

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 Officer to
the following addresses or fax numbers.

OPLM.RCO@ssa.gov.
I. The information collections below
are pending at SSA. SSA will submit
them 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 November 2,
2010. Individuals can obtain copies of
the collection instruments by calling the
SSA Reports Clearance Officer at 410–
965–8783 or by writing to the above
e-mail address.
1. Modified Benefit Formula
Questionnaire-Employer—20 CFR 401 &
402—0960–0477. SSA collects
information on Form SSA–58 to verify
the claimant’s allegations on Form SSA–
150 (OMB #0960–0395, Modified
Benefits Formula Questionnaire). SSA
uses the SSA–58 to determine if the
modified benefit formula is applicable
and when to apply it to a person’s
benefit. SSA sends Form SSA–58 to an

employer for pension-related
information, if the claimant is unable to
provide it. The respondents are
employers of people who are eligible
after 1985 for both Social Security
benefits and a pension based on work
not covered by SSA.
Type of Request: Revision of an OMBapproved information collection.
Number of Respondents: 30,000.
Frequency of Response: 1.
Average Burden per Response: 20
minutes.
Estimated Annual Burden: 10,000.
II. SSA has submitted the information
collections listed 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 4, 2010. You can
obtain a copy of the OMB clearance
packages by calling the SSA Reports
Clearance Officer at 410–965–8783 or by
writing to the above e-mail address.
1. Medical Report (General)—20 CFR
404.1512–404.1515, 416.912–416.915—
0960–0052. Through the State Disability
Determination Services (DDS), SSA uses
Form SSA–3826–F4 to make accurate
determinations in disability claims
cases. SSA collects the information to
determine the claimant’s physical and
mental status prior to making a
disability determination, and to
document the disability claims folder
with the medical evidence. The form
provides disability adjudicators and
reviewers with a narrative record and
history of the disability and the
objective medical findings necessary to
make a disability determination. SSA
uses the medical evidence from this
form to determine if an individual’s
impairment meets the severity and
duration requirements for disability
benefits. The respondents are members
of the medical community, including
individual physicians, hospital doctors,
medical records librarians, and other
medical sources.
Type of Request: Revision of an OMBapproved information collection.
Number of
respondents
Collection method
Number of Respondents: 150,000.
Frequency of Response: 1.
Average Burden per Response: 30
minutes.
Estimated Annual Burden: 75,000
hours.
2. Disability Report—Child—20 CFR
416.912—0960–0577. When claimants
file for childhood disability benefits
under the Supplemental Security
Income (SSI) program, they must
furnish medical and other evidence to
prove they are disabled.
Form SSA–3820 collects various types
of information about a child’s condition
from treating sources and other medical
sources of evidence. The DDS evaluators
use the information to develop medical
and school evidence and assess the
alleged disability. The information,
together with medical evidence, forms
the evidentiary basis upon which SSA
makes its initial disability evaluation.
The respondents are claimants seeking
SSI childhood disability payments.

Records/Letter to Custodian of School
Records—20 CFR 404.704, 404.716,
416.802, and 422.107—0960–0693. SSA
prepares the SSA–L106 and SSA–L706
for individuals who need help in
obtaining evidence of their age in
connection with Social Security number
(SSN) card applications and claims for
benefits. SSA also uses the SSA–L706 to
determine the existence of primary
evidence of age for SSN applicants. SSA
uses both letters to verify with the
issuing entity, when necessary, the
authenticity of the record submitted by
the SSN applicant or claimant. The
respondents are schools, State and local
bureaus of vital statistics, and religious
entities.
Note: This is a correction notice: SSA
published this information collection with
the correct burden hours at 75 FR 35512 on
June 22, 2010. However, we did not show the
breakdown of burden hours for the different
types of respondents. We are correcting that
error here.

4. Cost Reimbursable Research
Request—20 CFR 401.165—0960–0754.
Qualified researchers need SSA
administrative data for a variety of
projects. To request SSA’s program data
for research, a researcher must submit a
completed research application, Form
SSA–9901, How to Request SSA
Program Data for Research, for SSA’s
evaluation. In the application, the
requesting researcher must provide
basic project information, and describe
the way in which the proposed project
will further SSA’s mission to promote
the economic security of the Nation’s
people through its administration of the
Old Age, Survivors, and Disability
Insurance Programs, and the SSI
Program. SSA reviews the application
and, once we approve it, the researcher
signs Form SSA–9903, SSA Agreement
Regarding Conditions for Use of SSA
Data, which outlines the conditions and
safeguards for the research project data
exchange. The researcher may use the
data for research and statistical
purposes only, and must complete Form
SSA–9902, Confidentiality Agreement.
SSA recovers all expenses incurred in
providing this information as part of
this reimbursable service. The
respondents are Federal and State
government agencies or their

minutes.
Estimated Annual Burden: 60 hours.
5. Authorization to Release Medical
Report to Physician—20 CFR 401.55 &
401.100—0960–0761. When evidence
provided by a disability claimant is
inadequate for SSA to determine the
disability, SSA requests a consultative
examination (CE) for additional
information or clarification. If the
claimants, their court appointed
representatives, or the parents of a
minor child want the CE report sent to
the claimant’s treating physician, they
complete Form SSA–91 and send it to
SSA for processing. SSA uses the
information on the SSA–91 to release
the CE report to the authorized
physician. Respondents are applicants
for disability claims.

6. Application Status—20 CFR
401.45—0960–0763. Application Status
provides users with the capability to
check the status of their pending Social
Security claims either via the Internet or
the National 800 Number Automated
Telephone Service. Users need their
SSN and a confirmation number to
access this information. The
Application Status shows users when
SSA received the application, if we
requested additional documents (e.g.,
military discharge papers, W–2s, birth
records, etc.), and provides the address
for the office that is processing their
application. Once SSA makes a decision
on a claim, we post a copy of the
decision notice online for the user to
view. There are some exceptions to
posting a copy online, such as disability
denial notices (even if filed
electronically), or claims that users did
not file via the Internet, as we may not
have those notices available for online
review. Users access this application
either via https://www.ssa.gov/
onlineservices/, or through the National
800 Number. Respondents are Social
Security claimants.

4. Cost Reimbursable Research Request--20 CFR 401.165--0960-0754.
Qualified researchers need SSA administrative data for a variety of
projects. To request SSA's program data for research, a researcher must
submit a completed research application, Form SSA-9901, How to Request
SSA Program Data for Research, for SSA's evaluation. In the
application, the requesting researcher must provide basic project
information, and describe the way in which the proposed project will
further SSA's mission to promote the economic security of the Nation's
people through its administration of the Old Age, Survivors, and
Disability Insurance Programs, and the SSI Program. SSA reviews the
application and, once we approve it, the researcher signs Form SSA-
9903, SSA Agreement Regarding Conditions for Use of SSA Data, which
outlines the conditions and safeguards for the research project data
exchange. The researcher may use the data for research and statistical
purposes only, and must complete Form SSA-9902, Confidentiality
Agreement. SSA recovers all expenses incurred in providing this
information as part of this reimbursable service. The respondents are
Federal and State government agencies or their contractors, private
entities, and colleges or universities.
Type of Request: Revision of an OMB-approved information
collection.
Number of Respondents: 15.
Frequency of Response: 1.
Average Burden per Response: 240 minutes.

5. Authorization to Release Medical Report to Physician--20 CFR
401.55 & 401.100--0960-0761. When evidence provided by a disability
claimant is inadequate for SSA to determine the disability, SSA
requests a consultative examination (CE) for additional information or
clarification. If the claimants, their court appointed representatives,
or the parents of a minor child want the CE report sent to the
claimant's treating physician, they complete Form SSA-91 and send it to
SSA for processing. SSA uses the information on the SSA-91 to release
the CE report to the authorized physician. Respondents are applicants
for disability claims.
Type of Request: Revision of an OMB-approved information
collection.
Number of Respondents: 7,922.
Frequency of Response: 1.
Average Burden per Response: 5 minutes.
Estimated Annual Burden: 660 hours.
6. Application Status--20 CFR 401.45--0960-0763. Application Status
provides users with the capability to check the status of their pending
Social Security claims either via the Internet or the National 800
Number Automated Telephone Service. Users need their SSN and a
confirmation number to access this information. The Application Status
shows users when SSA received the application, if we requested
additional documents (e.g., military discharge papers, W-2s, birth
records, etc.), and provides the address for the office that is
processing their application. Once SSA makes a decision on a claim, we
post a copy of the decision notice online for the user to view. There
are some exceptions to posting a copy online, such as disability denial
notices (even if filed electronically), or claims that users did not
file via the Internet, as we may not have those notices available for
online review. Users access this application either via https://www.ssa.gov/onlineservices/, or through the National 800 Number.
Respondents are Social Security claimants.
Type of Request: Extension of an OMB-approved information
collection.
