Background The SCSEP, authorized by title V of the OAA, is the only Federallysponsored employment and training program targeted specifically to lowincome older individuals who want to enter or re-enter the workforce. Participants must be unemployed and 55 years of age or older and have incomes at no more than 125 percent of the Federal poverty level. The program offers participants training at community service assignments in public and non-profit agencies. The dual goals of the program are to promote useful opportunities in community service activities and to also move SCSEP participants into unsubsidized employment, where appropriate, so that they can achieve economic selfsufficiency. The Older Americans Act Amendments of 2006, Public Law 109– 365 (2006 OAA), amended the statute authorizing the SCSEP and necessitated changes to the SCSEP regulations in 20 CFR part 641. A final rule promulgating such changes was published on September 1, 2010. 75 FR 53786. Previously, an interim final rule (IFR) on performance measures was E:\FR\FM\31JAR1.SGM 31JAR1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Requiring Electronic Filing of Appeals

    On September 12, 2011, we published final rules that require 
representatives to conduct business with us electronically at the times 
and in the manner we prescribe on matters for which the representative 
requests direct fee payment. At the time, we did not require 
representatives to use any specific electronic service. Rather, in the 
preamble to the final rule (76 FR 56107), we stated that, ``Once we 
determine that we should make a particular electronic service publicly 
available because it works well, we will publish a notice in the 
Federal Register. The notice will contain the new requirement(s) and a 
list of all established electronic service requirements.'' We also said 
in the preamble that we would adjust the burden for affected Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) approved collections before requiring 
representatives to use the collections' electronic versions. We 
published a notice on December 1, 2011 (76 FR 74838) concerning the 
burden adjustment for the affected electronic services under OMB No. 
0960-0144, Disability Report-Appeal, OMB No. 0960-0269 (Request for 
Hearing by Administrative Law Judge), and OMB No. 0960-0622, Request 
for Reconsideration.
    As of March 16, 2012, we will begin mandating electronic filing of 
certain appeals in each matter in which a representative requests 
direct payment of the authorized fee. This electronic filing 
requirement is limited to the filing of a request for reconsideration 
or for a hearing by an administrative law judge for disability claims 
under title II of the Social Security Act (Act) or Supplemental 
Security Income claims based on disability or blindness under title XVI 
of the Act denied for medical reasons. Representatives must satisfy 
this electronic filing requirement by using our Internet Appeals web 
portal: www.socialsecurity.gov.
    A representative has an affirmative duty to comply with this 
requirement. We may investigate to determine if a representative 
purposefully violated this duty or is attempting to circumvent our 
rules. We may sanction a representative who does not follow these 
rules. However, we will not reject or delay a claimant's request or 
process it differently if a representative fails to comply with this 
electronic filing requirement.
    Claimants, whether they are represented or not, and representatives 
who are not eligible for or who do not request direct fee payment on a 
matter, may continue to file all appeal requests either electronically, 
on paper, or in any manner we prescribe.
