    4. Social Security Number Verification Services--20 CFR 401.45--
0960-0660. Internal Revenue Service regulations require employers to 
provide wage and tax data to SSA using Form W-2 or its electronic 
equivalent. As part of this process, the employer must furnish the 
employee's name and Social Security number (SSN). In addition, the 
employee's name and SSN must match SSA's records for SSA to post 
earnings to the employee's earnings record, which SSA maintains. SSA 
offers the Social Security Number Verification Service (SSNVS), which 
allows employers to verify that the reported names and SSNs of their 
employees match those in SSA's records. SSNVS is a cost-free method for 
employers to verify employee information either through the Internet or 
via telephone. The respondents are employers who need to verify SSN 
data using SSA's records. This is a correction notice: SSA published 
incorrect burden information for this collection at 77 FR 29441, on 5/
17/12. We are correcting this error here.
    Type of Request: Revision of an OMB-approved information 
collection.

    5. Statement of Reclamation Action--31 CFR 210--0960-0734. 
Regulations governing the Federal Government Participation in the 
Automated Clearing House (1) allow SSA to send Social Security payments 
to Canada and (2) mandate the reclamation of funds paid erroneously to 
a Canadian bank or financial institution after the death of a Social 
Security beneficiary. SSA uses Form SSA-1713, Notice of Reclamation 
Action, to determine if, how, and when the Canadian bank or financial 
institution will return erroneous payments after the death of a Social 
Security beneficiary who elected to have payments sent to Canada. Form 
SSA-1712 (or SSA-1712 CN), Notice of Reclamation--Canada Payment Made 
in the United States, is the cover sheet SSA prepares to request return 
of the payment. The respondents are Canadian banks and financial 
institutions who erroneously received Social Security payments.
    Type of Request: Revision of an OMB-approved information 
collection.

    6. Electronic Records Express (Third Parties)--20 CFR 404.1700-
404.1715--0960-0767. Electronic Records Express (ERE) is an online 
system that enables medical providers and various third-party 
representatives to download and submit disability claimant information 
electronically to SSA as part of the disability application process. To 
ensure only authorized people access ERE, SSA requires third parties to 
complete a unique registration process if they wish to use this system. 
This Information Collection Request (ICR) includes the third-party 
registration process; the burden for submitting evidence to SSA is part 
of other, various ICRs. The respondents are third-party representatives 
of disability applicants or recipients who want to use ERE to 
electronically access clients' disability files online and submit 
information to SSA.
    Type of Request: Revision to an OMB-approved information 
collection.
