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 March 29, 2011. 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. Statement Regarding the Inferred Death of an Individual by Reason of Continued and Unexplained Absence— 20 CFR 404.720–721—0960–0002. Section 202(d)–(i) of the Social Security Act (Act) provides for the payment of various monthly survivor benefits and a lump sum death payment to certain survivors upon the death of an individual who dies while fully or currently insured. In cases where insured wage earners have been absent from their homes for at least seven years, and there is no evidence these individuals are alive, SSA may presume they are deceased and pay their survivors the appropriate benefits. SSA uses the information from Form SSA– 723 to determine if we may presume a missing wage earner is deceased, and if so, establish a date of presumed death. The respondents are relatives, friends, neighbors, or acquaintances of the presumed deceased wage earner or the person who is filing for survivors benefits. Type of Request: Revision of an OMBapproved information collection. Number of Respondents: 3,000. Frequency of Response: 1. Average Burden per Response: 30 minutes. Estimated Annual Burden: 1,500 hours. 2. Questionnaire for Children Claiming SSI Benefits—20 CFR 416.912(a)—0960–0499. Section 1631(d)(2) of the Act allows SSA to collect information to determine the eligibility of an applicant’s claim for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments. Parents or legal guardians seeking to obtain or retain SSI eligibility for their children use Form SSA–3881– BK to provide SSA with the addresses of non-medical sources such as schools, counselors, agencies, organizations, or therapists who would have information about a child’s functioning. SSA uses this information to help determine a child’s claim or continuing eligibility for SSI. The respondents are applicants who appeal SSI childhood disability decisions or recipients undergoing a continuing disability review.

Beneficiaries and SSI recipients often require POI to obtain housing, food stamps, or other public services. After verifying the requestor’s identity, SSA uses the information from BEVE to provide the POI statement. The respondents are Social Security beneficiaries, Medicare beneficiaries, and SSI recipients. Type of Request: Revision of an OMBapproved information collection. Number of Respondents: 870,958. Frequency of Response: 1. Average Burden per Response: 5 minutes. Estimated Annual Burden: 72,580 hours. II. SSA submitted the information collections listed below to OMB for clearance.

Section 311 of the Social Security Independence and Program Improvements Act of 1994 directs SSA to provide support to health researchers involved in epidemiological research. Specifically, when we determine a study contributes to a national health interest, SSA furnishes information to determine whether a study subject appears in SSA administrative records as alive or deceased (vital status). SSA charges a small fee per request for providing this information. Web-posted questions solicit the information SSA needs to provide the data and to collect the fees.

    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 
March 29, 2011. 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. Statement Regarding the Inferred Death of an Individual by 
Reason of Continued and Unexplained Absence--20 CFR 404.720-721--0960-
0002. Section 202(d)-(i) of the Social Security Act (Act) provides for 
the payment of various monthly survivor benefits and a lump sum death 
payment to certain survivors upon the death of an individual who dies 
while fully or currently insured. In cases where insured wage earners 
have been absent from their homes for at least seven years, and there 
is no evidence these individuals are alive, SSA may presume they are 
deceased and pay their survivors the appropriate benefits. SSA uses the 
information from Form SSA-723 to determine if we may presume a missing 
wage earner is deceased, and if so, establish a date of presumed death. 
The respondents are relatives, friends, neighbors, or acquaintances of 
the presumed deceased wage earner or the person who is filing for 
survivors benefits.
    Type of Request: Revision of an OMB-approved information

guardians seeking to obtain or retain SSI eligibility for their 
children use Form SSA-3881-BK to provide SSA with the addresses of non-
medical sources such as schools, counselors, agencies, organizations, 
or therapists who would have information about a child's functioning. 
SSA uses this information to help determine a child's claim or 
continuing eligibility for SSI. The respondents are applicants who 
appeal SSI childhood disability decisions or recipients undergoing a 
continuing disability review.

beneficiaries, and Medicare beneficiaries the convenience of requesting 
a POI statement through the Internet. Beneficiaries and SSI recipients 
often require POI to obtain housing, food stamps, or other public 
services. After verifying the requestor's identity, SSA uses the 
information from BEVE to provide the POI statement. The respondents are 
Social Security beneficiaries, Medicare beneficiaries, and SSI 
recipients.

    5. Epidemiological Research Report--20 CFR 401.165--0960-0701. 
Section 311 of the Social Security Independence and Program 
Improvements Act of 1994 directs SSA to provide support to health 
researchers involved in epidemiological research. Specifically, when we 
determine a study contributes to a national health interest, SSA 
furnishes information to determine whether a study subject appears in 
SSA administrative records as alive or deceased (vital status). SSA 
charges a small fee per request for providing this information. Web-
posted questions solicit the information SSA needs to provide the data 
and to collect the fees. The requestors are scientific researchers who 
are applying to receive vital status information about individuals from 
Social Security administrative data records.
    Type of Request: Revision of an OMB-approved information 
collection.
