ACTION:
The Farm Credit
Administration (FCA or we) adopted a
final rule to establish a regulatory
framework for the reliable, timely,
accurate, and complete reporting of
Farm Credit System (System) accounts
and exposures for examination activities
and risk evaluation. The final rule
specifies the reporting requirements and
performance responsibilities, including,
but not limited to, establishing uniform
and standard data fields to be collected
from all System institutions and a
disciplined and secure delivery of
information. The final rule authorizes a
Reporting Entity (defined as the Federal
Farm Credit Banks Funding Corporation
or an entity approved by FCA), to
collect data from all banks and
associations and serve as the central

Extension of Expiration Dates for
Several Body System Listings
Social Security Administration.
Final rule.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
We are extending the
expiration dates of the following body
systems in the Listing of Impairments
(listings) in our regulations: Growth
Impairment, Musculoskeletal System,
Respiratory System, Cardiovascular
System, Digestive System, Skin
Disorders, and Neurological. We are
making no other revisions to these body
systems in this final rule. This extension
will ensure that we continue to have the
criteria we need to evaluate
impairments in the affected body
systems at step three of the sequential
evaluation processes for initial claims
and continuing disability reviews.
DATES: This final rule is effective on
February 26, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
Background
We use the listings in appendix 1 to
subpart P of part 404 of 20 CFR at the
third step of the sequential evaluation
process to evaluate claims filed by
adults and children for benefits based
on disability under the title II and title
XVI programs.1 20 CFR 404.1520(d),
416.920(d). The listings are in two parts:
Part A has listings criteria for adults and
Part B has listings criteria for children.
If you are age 18 or over, we apply the
listings criteria in part A when we
assess your impairment or combination
of impairments. If you are under age 18,
1 We also use the listings in the sequential
evaluation processes we use to determine whether
a beneficiary’s disability continues. See 20 CFR
404.1594, 416.994, and 416.994a.

we first use the criteria in part B of the
listings when we assess your
impairment(s). If the criteria in part B
do not apply, we may use the criteria in
part A when those criteria give
appropriate consideration to the effects
of your impairment(s). 20 CFR
404.1525(b), 416.925(b).
Explanation of Changes
In this final rule, we are extending the
dates on which the listings for seven
body systems will no longer be effective
as set out in the following chart:

We continue to revise and update all
of the listings on a regular basis,
including those body systems not
affected by this final rule.2 We intend to
update the seven listings affected by this
final rule as quickly as possible, but
may not be able to publish final rules
revising these listings by the current
expiration dates. Therefore, we are
extending the expiration dates listed
above.
Regulatory Procedures
mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES
Justification for Final Rule
We follow the Administrative
Procedure Act (APA) rulemaking
procedures specified in 5 U.S.C. 553 in
promulgating regulations. Section
702(a)(5) of the Social Security Act, 42
U.S.C. 902(a)(5). Generally, the APA
requires that an agency provide prior
notice and opportunity for public
comment before issuing a final
regulation. The APA provides
exceptions to the notice-and-comment
requirements when an agency finds
there is good cause for dispensing with
such procedures because they are
impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary
to the public interest.
We determined that good cause exists
for dispensing with the notice and
2 Since we extended the expiration date of some
of these listings in June 2012 (77 FR 35264 (2012)),
we published final rules revising congenital
disorders that affect multiple body systems (78 FR
7659 (2013)), and the revised medical criteria for
evaluating visual disorders in the special senses
and speech body system (78 FR 18837 (2013)). We
also published proposed rules for revised medical
criteria for evaluating respiratory system disorders
(78 FR 7968 (2013)), revised medical criteria for
evaluating genitourinary disorders (78 FR 7695
(2013)), revised listings for growth disorders and
weight loss in children (78 FR 30249 (2013)),
revised medical criteria for evaluating
hematological disorders (78 FR 69324 (2013)), and
revised medical criteria for evaluating cancer (78 FR
76508 (2013)). We also have published an advance
notice of proposed rulemaking requesting
comments on whether and how we should revise
the listing criteria for evaluating hearing loss and
disturbances of labyrinthine-vestibular function in
adults and children (78 FR 53700 (2013)).

public comment procedures. 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(B). This final rule only extends
the date on which several body system
listings will no longer be effective. It
makes no substantive changes to our
rules. Our current regulations 3 provide
that we may extend, revise, or
promulgate the body system listings
again. Therefore, we have determined
that opportunity for prior comment is
unnecessary, and we are issuing this
regulation as a final rule.
In addition, for the reasons cited
above, we find good cause for
dispensing with the 30-day delay in the
effective date of this final rule. 5 U.S.C.
553(d)(3). We are not making any
substantive changes to the listings in
these body systems. Without an
extension of the expiration dates for
these listings, we will not have the
criteria we need to assess medical
impairments in these body systems at
step three of the sequential evaluation
processes. We therefore find it is in the
public interest to make this final rule
effective on the publication date.
Executive Order 12866, as
Supplemented by Executive Order
13563
We consulted with the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) and
determined that this final rule does not
meet the criteria for a significant
regulatory action under Executive Order
12866, as supplemented by Executive
Order 13563. Therefore, OMB did not
review it. We also determined that this
final rule meets the plain language
requirement of Executive Order 12866.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
We certify that this final rule does not
have a significant economic impact on
a substantial number of small entities
because it affects only individuals.
Therefore, a regulatory flexibility

affect any existing collections, and
therefore does not require OMB
approval under the Paperwork
Reduction Act.

SUMMARY:
Background
On May 30, 2012, the Department of
Treasury (Treasury) and the Internal
Revenue Service (IRS) published a
notice of proposed rulemaking (REG–
141075–09) in the Federal Register (77
FR 31783) under section 83 of the Code.
Treasury and the IRS received two
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:19 Feb 25, 2014
Jkt 232001
comments responding to the notice of
proposed rulemaking. No public hearing
was requested and no public hearing
was held. After consideration of these
comments, Treasury and the IRS adopt
the proposed regulations as final
regulations with the modifications
described in this preamble.
Explanation of Provisions
Section 83 of the Code addresses the
tax consequences of the transfer of
property in connection with the
performance of services. These final
regulations provide several
clarifications regarding whether a
substantial risk of forfeiture exists in
connection with property subject to
section 83. Specifically, the final
regulations clarify that (1) except as
specifically provided in section 83(c)(3)
and §§ 1.83–3(j) and (k), a substantial
risk of forfeiture may be established
only through a service condition or a
condition related to the purpose of the
transfer, (2) in determining whether a
substantial risk of forfeiture exists based
on a condition related to the purpose of
the transfer, both the likelihood that the
forfeiture event will occur and the
likelihood that the forfeiture will be
enforced must be considered, and (3)
except as specifically provided in
section 83(c)(3) and §§ 1.83–3(j) and (k),
transfer restrictions do not create a
substantial risk of forfeiture, including
transfer restrictions that carry the
potential for forfeiture or disgorgement
of some or all of the property, or other
penalties, if the restriction is violated.
Summary of Comments
Treasury and the IRS received two
written comments on the notice of
proposed rulemaking. The first
comment was not responsive to the
notice of proposed rulemaking. The
second comment expressed concern that
the proposed regulations result in a
narrowing of the circumstances that
would establish a substantial risk of
forfeiture and requested clarification
regarding whether an involuntary
separation from service without cause
could establish a substantial risk of
forfeiture. The comment noted that, for
purposes of section 409A, an amount
that is payable only upon a service
provider’s involuntary separation from
service without cause is subject to a
substantial risk of forfeiture if the
possibility of forfeiture is substantial,
and it suggested that these regulations
specifically state that an involuntary
separation without cause may qualify as
a substantial risk of forfeiture under
section 83 in appropriate circumstances.
These regulations are intended to
clarify the definition of a substantial
PO 00000
Frm 00003
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
10663
risk of forfeiture and are consistent with
the interpretation that the IRS
historically has applied, and therefore
from the perspective of Treasury and the
IRS they do not constitute a narrowing
of the requirements to establish a
substantial risk of forfeiture. See
Robinson v. Commissioner, 805 F.2d 38
(1st Cir. 1986). Further, Treasury and
the IRS believe that these regulations
should not be modified to state that an
involuntary separation from service
without cause may qualify as a
substantial risk of forfeiture under
section 83. While a service provider’s
right to receive property (or an amount
in cash) in the future upon the service
provider’s involuntary separation from
service without cause may be subject to
a substantial risk of forfeiture for
purposes of section 409A if the
possibility of forfeiture is substantial, a
substantial risk of forfeiture under
section 83 can exist only when property
is actually transferred in connection
with the performance of services. A
right to receive property in the future is
generally not property for purposes of
section 83. See § 1.83–3(e). Accordingly,
an involuntary separation from service
without cause cannot qualify as a
substantial risk of forfeiture under
section 83 if property is not transferred
until after the separation from service
occurs.
When a transfer of property does
occur, a substantial risk of forfeiture
may be established through a substantial
services condition or a condition related
to the purpose of the transfer if the
possibility of forfeiture is substantial.
The acceleration of vesting upon an
involuntary separation from service
without cause (or separation from
service as a result of death or disability)
will not cause a requirement of
substantial services that otherwise
would be treated as a substantial risk of
forfeiture to fail to qualify as a
substantial risk of forfeiture, provided
that facts and circumstances do not
demonstrate that the occurrence of an
involuntary separation from service
without cause is likely to occur during
the agreed upon service period.
Certain practitioners informally
requested clarification regarding the
application of section 83(c)(3) to a
variation of the facts set forth in
Example 4 of proposed regulation
§ 1.83–3(j)(2). Specifically, practitioners
asked whether the purchase of shares in
a transaction not exempt from section
16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 prior to the exercise of a stock
option that would not otherwise give
rise to section 16(b) liability would
defer taxation of the stock option
exercise. Treasury and the IRS do not

systems in the Listing of Impairments (listings) in our regulations:
Growth Impairment, Musculoskeletal System, Respiratory System,
Cardiovascular System, Digestive System, Skin Disorders, and
Neurological. We are making no other revisions to these body systems in

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
We use the listings in appendix 1 to subpart P of part 404 of 20
CFR at the third step of the sequential evaluation process to evaluate
claims filed by adults and children for benefits based on disability
under the title II and title XVI programs.\1\ 20 CFR 404.1520(d),
416.920(d). The listings are in two parts: Part A has listings criteria
for adults and Part B has listings criteria for children. If you are
age 18 or over, we apply the listings criteria in part A when we assess
your impairment or combination of impairments. If you are under age 18,
[[Page 10662]]
we first use the criteria in part B of the listings when we assess your
impairment(s). If the criteria in part B do not apply, we may use the
criteria in part A when those criteria give appropriate consideration
to the effects of your impairment(s). 20 CFR 404.1525(b), 416.925(b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ We also use the listings in the sequential evaluation
processes we use to determine whether a beneficiary's disability
continues. See 20 CFR 404.1594, 416.994, and 416.994a.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Explanation of Changes
In this final rule, we are extending the dates on which the
listings for seven body systems will no longer be effective as set out
in the following chart:
------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------
We continue to revise and update all of the listings on a regular
basis, including those body systems not affected by this final rule.\2\
We intend to update the seven listings affected by this final rule as
quickly as possible, but may not be able to publish final rules
revising these listings by the current expiration dates. Therefore, we
are extending the expiration dates listed above.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ Since we extended the expiration date of some of these
listings in June 2012 (77 FR 35264 (2012)), we published final rules
revising congenital disorders that affect multiple body systems (78
FR 7659 (2013)), and the revised medical criteria for evaluating
visual disorders in the special senses and speech body system (78 FR
18837 (2013)). We also published proposed rules for revised medical
criteria for evaluating respiratory system disorders (78 FR 7968
(2013)), revised medical criteria for evaluating genitourinary
disorders (78 FR 7695 (2013)), revised listings for growth disorders
and weight loss in children (78 FR 30249 (2013)), revised medical
criteria for evaluating hematological disorders (78 FR 69324
(2013)), and revised medical criteria for evaluating cancer (78 FR
76508 (2013)). We also have published an advance notice of proposed
rulemaking requesting comments on whether and how we should revise
the listing criteria for evaluating hearing loss and disturbances of
labyrinthine-vestibular function in adults and children (78 FR 53700
(2013)).

We follow the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) rulemaking
procedures specified in 5 U.S.C. 553 in promulgating regulations.
Section 702(a)(5) of the Social Security Act, 42 U.S.C. 902(a)(5).
Generally, the APA requires that an agency provide prior notice and
opportunity for public comment before issuing a final regulation. The
APA provides exceptions to the notice-and-comment requirements when an
agency finds there is good cause for dispensing with such procedures
because they are impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest.
We determined that good cause exists for dispensing with the notice
and public comment procedures. 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B). This final rule only
extends the date on which several body system listings will no longer
be effective. It makes no substantive changes to our rules. Our current
regulations \3\ provide that we may extend, revise, or promulgate the
body system listings again. Therefore, we have determined that
opportunity for prior comment is unnecessary, and we are issuing this
regulation as a final rule.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ See the first sentence of appendix 1 to 20 CFR part 404,
subpart P.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In addition, for the reasons cited above, we find good cause for
dispensing with the 30-day delay in the effective date of this final
rule. 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3). We are not making any substantive changes to
the listings in these body systems. Without an extension of the
expiration dates for these listings, we will not have the criteria we
need to assess medical impairments in these body systems at step three
of the sequential evaluation processes. We therefore find it is in the
public interest to make this final rule effective on the publication
date.
Executive Order 12866, as Supplemented by Executive Order 13563
We consulted with the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and
determined that this final rule does not meet the criteria for a
significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866, as
supplemented by Executive Order 13563. Therefore, OMB did not review
it. We also determined that this final rule meets the plain language
requirement of Executive Order 12866.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
We certify that this final rule does not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities because it
affects only individuals. Therefore, a regulatory flexibility analysis
is not required under the Regulatory Flexibility Act, as amended.
Paperwork Reduction Act
This rule does not create any new or affect any existing
collections, and therefore does not require OMB approval under the
Paperwork Reduction Act.
