The Social Security Administration

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
effective October 1, 1995. This notice
includes revisions to 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, email, or
fax your comments and
recommendations on the information
collection(s) to the OMB Desk Officer
and SSA Reports Clearance Officer at
the following addresses or fax numbers.

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 26,
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
email address.
1. State Mental Institution Policy
Review Booklet—20 CFR 404.2035,
404.2065, 416.635, & 416.665—0960–
0110. SSA uses the information
collected on Form SSA–9584–BK to
determine whether: (1) The policies and
practices of a state mental institution
acting as a representative payee for SSA
beneficiaries conform to SSA’s
regulations regarding the use of benefits
and payments; and (2) the institution is
performing other duties and
responsibilities required of
representative payees. SSA also uses the
information as the basis for conducting
onsite reviews of the institution and
preparing subsequent reports of
findings. The respondents are state
mental institutions serving as
representative payees for Social Security
beneficiaries and Supplemental Security
Income recipients.
Type of Request: Revision of an OMBapproved information collection.
Number of Respondents: 88.
Frequency of Response: 1.
Average Burden per Response: 60
minutes.
Estimated Annual Burden: 88 hours.
2. Employee Identification
Statement—20 CFR 404.702—0960–
0473. When two or more individuals
report earnings under the same Social
Security number (SSN), SSA collects
information on the SSA–4156 so we can
credit earnings to the correct individual
and the correct SSN. We send this form
to the employer to identify the
employees involved, to resolve the
discrepancy, and to post earnings to the
correct SSN. The respondents are
employers involved in erroneous wage
information reporting for an employee.
Type of Request: Revision of an OMBapproved information collection.
Number of Respondents: 4,750.
Frequency of Response: 1.
Average Burden per Response: 10
minutes.
Estimated Annual Burden: 792 hours.

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 27, 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 email address.
1. Requests for Self-Employment
Information, Employee Information,
Employer Information—20 CFR
422.120—0960–0508. SSA collects
information on the SSA–L2765, SSA–
L3365, and SSA–L4002 to credit the
reported earnings to the proper earnings
record. When SSA cannot identify Form
W–2 wage data for an individual, we
place the data in the earnings suspense
file and send one of the forms cited
above to the employee (and in certain
instances to the employer) to obtain the
correct name and SSN. If the respondent
furnishes the name and SSN
information that agrees with SSA’s
records, or provides information that
resolves the discrepancy, SSA adds the
reported earnings to the respondent’s
Social Security record. While SSA does
not require respondents to provide the
information to keep a benefit, if they do
not furnish the missing or corrected
information, we cannot credit the wages
or self-employment income to the
proper earnings record. The respondents
are self-employed individuals and
employees whose name and SSN
information do not agree with SSA’s
records and their employers.

2. Beneficiary Recontact Report—20
CFR 404.703 and 404.705—0960–0536.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
September 3, 2010, NHTSA published a
request for comment on one collection
of information for which it intends to
seek OMB approval (75 FR 54217). That
notice explained that to further
NHTSA’s development of a national tire
fuel efficiency consumer information
program required under the Energy
Independence and Security Act of
2007,1 NHTSA is proposing a multiphased consumer research project and is
currently requesting comment on the
first phase of that research, which will
consist of qualitative focus group market
research. This notice elaborates on some
specific areas NHTSA is requesting
comment on that were not mentioned in
the original notice. These areas are focus
group location, testing for the impact of
basing a tire fuel efficiency rating on
rolling resistance coefficient (RRC) vs.
rolling resistance force (RRF), and
testing for the recognition of existing
labeling.
NHTSA notes that comments have
already been sought on and a public
meeting has already been held on a draft
research plan for the consumer research
that is the subject of this collection of
information.2 The relevance and
poignancy of stakeholders’ comments
may be enhanced by reviewing that
draft research plan and comments
received in response to the draft
research plan and public meeting.
