Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 1 / Monday, January 3, 2011 / Notices
1. Request for Waiver of Overpayment
Recovery or Change in Repayment
Notice—20 CFR 404.502–404.513,
404.515, 20 CFR 416.550–416.570, and
416.572—0960–0037. When Social
Security beneficiaries and Supplemental
Security Income (SSI) recipients receive
an accidental overpayment of benefits,
they must repay the amount of the
overpayment. These beneficiaries and
recipients can use Form SSA–632–BK to
take one of three actions: (1) Request an
exemption from repaying, as recovery of
the payment would cause financial
hardship; (2) inform SSA they want to
repay the overpayment at a monthly rate
over a period longer than 36 months;
and (3) request a different rate of
recovery. In the latter two cases, the
respondents must also provide financial
information to SSA to help the agency
determine how much the overpaid
person can afford to repay each month.
Respondents are overpaid beneficiaries
or SSI recipients who are requesting a
waiver of recovery of an overpayment or
a lesser rate of withholding.
Type of Request: REVISION OF AN OMB-APPROVED INFORMATION COLLECTION.

2. Employee Work Activity
Questionnaire—20 CFR 404.1574 and
20 CFR 404.1592–0960–0483—Social
Security disability beneficiaries and SSI
recipients qualify for payments when a
verified physical or mental impairment
prevents them from working. If
disability claimants attempt to return to
work after receiving payments, but are
unable to continue working, they submit
Form SSA–3033, Employee Work
Activity Questionnaire, so SSA can
evaluate their work attempt. SSA uses
this form to evaluate unsuccessful
subsidy work and determine applicants’
continuing eligibility for disability
payments. The respondents are
employers of Social Security disability
beneficiaries and SSI recipients who
unsuccessfully attempted to return to
work.
Type of Request: Revision of an OMBapproved information collection.
Number of Respondents: 15,000.
Frequency of Response: 1.
Average Burden per Response: 15
minutes.
Estimated Annual Burden: 3,750
hours.
3. Sheltered Workshop Wage
Reporting—0960–0771. Sheltered
workshops are nonprofit organizations
or institutions that implement a
recognized program of rehabilitation for
handicapped workers, or provide such
workers with remunerative employment
or other occupational rehabilitating
activity of an educational or therapeutic
nature. Sheltered workshops perform a
service for their clients by reporting
monthly wages directly to SSA. SSA
uses the information these workshops
provide to verify and post monthly
wages to the SSI recipient’s record. Most
workshops report monthly wage totals
to their local SSA office so we can
adjust the client’s SSI payment amount

in a timely manner and prevent
overpayments. Sheltered workshops are
motivated to report wages voluntarily as
a service to their clients. Respondents
are sheltered workshops that report
monthly wages for services performed
in the workshop.
Type of Request: Revision of an OMBapproved information collection.
Number of Respondents: 900.
Frequency of Response: 12.
Average Burden per Response: 15

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Scoping
The FTA and CTA invite all
interested individuals and
organizations, public agencies, and
Native American Tribes to comment on
the scope of the Tier 1 EIS, including
the project’s purpose and need, the
alternatives to be studied, the impacts to
be evaluated, and the evaluation
methods to be used. The Tier 1 EIS will
be a planning level EIS that will allow
the CTA and FTA to use the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)
process as a tool to involve agencies and
the public in the decision making
process for the project as well as to
capture any associated or cumulative
impacts on the environment. This
process will ensure that: the complete
9.5-mile RPM corridor is analyzed; the
EIS is used to help refine and prioritize
design concepts, and; related
components of the project are grouped
together for future analysis. After this
Tier 1 EIS process is complete,
component projects can each be
evaluated more specifically with a
second-tier EIS and/or other NEPA
environmental documentation as
needed. These ensuing NEPA
documents can reference and
summarize information from the Tier 1
EIS and concentrate on the issues
specific to the subsequent actions (40
CFR 1502.20). Comments should
address (1) the project’s priorities and
appropriate cost-effective alternatives
and components, and (2) any significant
environmental impacts relating to the
alternatives.
NEPA ‘‘scoping’’ (40 CFR 1501.7) has
specific and fairly limited objectives,
one of which is to identify the
