(PRA95) [44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)]. This
program helps to ensure that requested

requirements on respondents can be
properly assessed. Currently, the Office

the proposed information collection
request can be obtained by contacting
the office listed below in the addresses
section of this Notice.
DATES: Written comments must be
submitted to the office listed in the
addresses section below on or before
February 9, 2015.

the beneficiary’s behalf. The CM–910 is
the form completed by the
representative payee applicants. The

beneficiary’s claim file. Regulations 20
CFR 725.505–513 require the collection
of this information. This information
collection is currently approved for use
through May 31, 2015.
II. Review Focus: The Department of
Labor is particularly interested in
comments which:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
• evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
• enhance the quality, utility and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
• minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.
III. Current Actions: The Department
of Labor seeks the approval for the
extension of this currently-approved
information collection in order to carry
out its responsibility to evaluate an
applicant ability to be a representative
payee. If the Program were not able to
screen representative payee applicants
the beneficiary’s best interest would not
be served.
