N–5 is $30,000 per filing. We continue
to believe this estimate for Form N–5’s
cost burden is appropriate. Therefore,
we estimate that the aggregate cost
burden, when calculated using the
Commission’s estimate of 0.333 filings
per year, is about $10,000 in external
costs per year.
Estimates of average burden hours
and costs are made solely for the
purposes of the Paperwork Reduction
Act, and are not derived from a
comprehensive or even representative
survey or study of the costs of
Commission rules and forms.
Compliance with the collection of
information requirements of Form N–5
is mandatory. Responses to the
collection of information will not be
kept confidential. An agency may not
conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to, a collection of
information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number.
The public may view the background
documentation for this information
collection at the following Web site,
www.reginfo.gov. Comments should be
directed to: (i) Desk Officer for the
Securities and Exchange Commission,
Office of Information and Regulatory
Affairs, Office of Management and
Budget, Room 10102, New Executive
Office Building, Washington, DC 20503,
or by sending an email to: Shagufta_

days of this notice.
Avenue, Suite 206, Wayne, PA 19087,
Federal Licensees under the Small
Business Investment Act of 1958, as
amended (‘‘the Act’’), in connection
with the financing of a small concern,
has sought an exemption under section
312 of the Act and section 107.730,
Financings which Constitute Conflicts
of Interest of the Small Business
Administration (‘‘SBA’’) Rules and
Regulations (13 CFR 107.730).
Boathouse Capital II, L.P. provided
financing to AvidXchange, Inc., 4421
Stuart Andrew Boulevard, Suite 200,
Charlotte, NC 28217. The financing was
contemplated for the acquisition of
Strongroom Solutions, Inc. and working
capital purposes.
The financing is brought within the
purview of § 107.730(a)(1) of the
Regulations because Boathouse Capital,
L.P., an Associate of Boathouse Capital
II, L.P., has the potential to own more
than ten percent of AvidXchange.
Therefore, this transaction is considered
a financing of an Associate requiring an
exemption.
Notice is hereby given that any
interested person may submit written
comments on the transaction within
fifteen days of the date of this
publication to the Acting Associate
Administrator for Investment, U.S.
Small Business Administration, 409

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 August 24,
2015. Individuals can obtain copies of
the collection instruments by writing to
the above email address.
1. Physician’s/Medical Officer’s
Statement of Patient’s Capability to
Manage Benefits—20 CFR 404.2015 and
416.615—0960–0024. SSA appoints a
representative payee in cases where we
determine beneficiaries are not capable
of managing their own benefits. In those
instances, we require medical evidence
to determine the beneficiaries’
capability of managing or directing their
benefit payments. SSA collects medical
evidence on Form SSA–787 to (1)
determine beneficiaries’ capability or
inability to handle their own benefits,
and (2) assist in determining the
beneficiaries’ need for a representative
payee. The respondents are
beneficiaries’ physicians, or medical
officers of the institution in which the
beneficiary resides.

2. State Supplementation Provisions:
Agreement; Payments—20 CFR
416.2095–416.2098, 20 CFR 416.2099—
0960–0240. Section 1618 of the Social
Security Act (Act) requires those states
administering their own supplementary
income payment program(s) to
demonstrate compliance with the Act by
passing Federal cost-of-living increases
on to individuals who are eligible for
state supplementary payments, and
informing SSA of their compliance. In
general, states report their
supplementary payment information
annually by the maintenance-ofpayment levels method. However, SSA
may ask them to report up to four times
in a year by the total-expenditures
method. Regardless of the method, the
states confirm their compliance with the
requirements, and provide any changes
to their optional supplementary
payment rates. SSA uses the
information to determine each state’s
compliance or noncompliance with the
pass-along requirements of the Act to
determine eligibility for Medicaid
reimbursement. If a state fails to keep
payments at the required level, it
becomes ineligible for Medicaid
reimbursement under Title XIX of the
Act. Respondents are state agencies
administering supplemental programs.

OMB-approved information collection.

ENs can be private for-profit and
nonprofit organizations, as well as state
vocational rehabilitation agencies (VRs).
SSA and the ENs utilize the TTW
program manager to operate the TTW
Program and exchange information
about participants. For example, the
ENs use the program manager to provide
updates on tasks such as selecting a
payment system or requesting payments
for helping the beneficiary achieve
certain work goals. Since the ENs are
not PRA-exempt, the multiple
information collections within the TTW
program manager require OMB
approval, and we clear them under this
ICR. Most of the categories of
information in this ICR are necessary for
SSA to: (1) comply with the Ticket to
Work legislation; and (2) provide proper

Policy for Discontinuance of World
Aeronautical Chart Series
Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of policy to discontinue
the World Aeronautical Chart.
AGENCY:
This notice announces the
FAA’s decision to discontinue
providing the World Aeronautical Chart
series. Technological advances in
aviation navigation capabilities and
charting products have made the World
Aeronautical Chart series largely
obsolete. Charting customers have
shifted towards digital chart products.
The World Aeronautical Charts are a
derivative product from our more
detailed Sectional Aeronautical Chart
series. With aviators using the more
detailed large scale Sectional
Aeronautical Charts and often the
digital versions in the moving map
technology found in modern electronic
flight bag system, the World
Aeronautical Charts are no longer
needed. The discontinuance of this lowdemand product allows the FAA to
apply those resources to continue to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Sfmt 4703
Title 49 of the United States Code,
section 44721, authorizes the FAA to
arrange for the publication of
aeronautical maps and charts necessary
for the safe and efficient movement of
aircraft in air navigation. Specifically,
paragraphs (d)(2)and (3) of this section
provide that that the Administrator may
‘‘ . . . (2) compile, print, and
disseminate aeronautical charts and
related products and services of the
United States and its territories and
possessions; (3) compile, print, and
disseminate aeronautical charts and
related products and services covering
international airspace as required
primarily by United Stated civil aviation
. . . ’’ (See 49 U.S.C. 44721(d)(2) and
(3).)
Background
The FAA is continuing to expand the
availability and capability of modern
aeronautical navigation products. At the
same time, we must rigorously analyze
our suite of products and determine the
feasibility and practicability of
providing products that are no longer in
demand from the public or have become
obsolete due to technological advances.
Since 2007, unit sales of the World
Aeronautical Charts are down 73
percent. (Sales are down 10% year over
year 2013/2014.) The cost to develop

SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION
[Docket No: SSA-2015-0035]
Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Request and
Comment Request
The Social Security Administration (SSA) publishes a list of
information collection packages requiring clearance by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) in compliance with Public Law 104-13, the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, effective October 1, 1995. This notice
includes revisions and extensions of OMB-approved information
collections.
SSA is soliciting comments on the accuracy of the agency's burden
estimate; the need for the information; its practical utility; ways to
enhance its quality, utility, and clarity; and ways to minimize burden
on respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology. Mail, email, or fax your
comments and recommendations on the information collection(s) to the
OMB Desk Officer and SSA Reports Clearance Officer at the following
addresses or fax numbers.
(OMB); Office of Management and Budget, Attn: Desk Officer for SSA,
Fax: 202-395-6974, Email address: OIRA_Submission@omb.eop.gov.
(SSA); Social Security Administration, OLCA, Attn: Reports Clearance
Director, 3100 West High Rise, 6401 Security Blvd., Baltimore, MD
21235, Fax: 410-966-2830, Email address: OR.Reports.Clearance@ssa.gov.
Or you may submit your comments online through www.regulations.gov,
referencing Docket ID Number [SSA-2015-0035].
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
August 24, 2015. Individuals can obtain copies of the collection
instruments by writing to the above email address.
1. Physician's/Medical Officer's Statement of Patient's Capability
to Manage Benefits--20 CFR 404.2015 and 416.615--0960-0024. SSA
appoints a representative payee in cases where we determine
beneficiaries are not capable of managing their own benefits. In those
instances, we require medical evidence to determine the beneficiaries'
capability of managing or directing their benefit payments. SSA
collects medical evidence on Form SSA-787 to (1) determine
beneficiaries' capability or inability to handle their own benefits,
and (2) assist in determining the beneficiaries' need for a
representative payee. The respondents are beneficiaries' physicians, or
medical officers of the institution in which the beneficiary resides.
Type of Request: Revision of an OMB-approved information
collection.

2. State Supplementation Provisions: Agreement; Payments--20 CFR
416.2095-416.2098, 20 CFR 416.2099--0960-0240. Section 1618 of the
Social Security Act (Act) requires those states administering their own
supplementary income payment program(s) to demonstrate compliance with
the Act by passing Federal cost-of-living increases on to individuals
who are eligible for state supplementary payments, and informing SSA of
their compliance. In general, states report their supplementary payment
information annually by the maintenance-of-payment levels method.
However, SSA may ask them to report up to four times in a year by the
total-expenditures method. Regardless of the method, the states confirm
their compliance with the requirements, and provide any changes to
their optional supplementary payment rates. SSA uses the information to
determine each state's compliance or noncompliance with the pass-along
requirements of the Act to determine eligibility for Medicaid
reimbursement. If a state fails to keep payments at the required level,
it becomes ineligible for Medicaid reimbursement under Title XIX of the
Act. Respondents are state agencies administering supplemental
programs.
Type of Request: Extension of an OMB-approved information
collection.

3. Surveys in Accordance with E.O. 12862 for the Social Security.
Administration--0960-0526. Under the auspices of E. O. 12862, Setting
Customer Service Standards, SSA conducts multiple customer satisfaction
surveys each year. These voluntary customer satisfaction assessments
include paper, Internet, and telephone surveys; mailed questionnaires;
and customer comment cards. The purpose of these questionnaires is to
assess customer satisfaction with the timeliness, appropriateness,
access, and overall quality of existing SSA services and proposed
modifications or new versions of services. The respondents are
recipients of SSA services (including most members of the public),
professionals, and individuals who work on behalf of SSA beneficiaries.

1. Application for Circuit Court Law--20 CFR 404.985 & 416.1458--
0960-0581. Persons claiming an acquiescence ruling (AR) would change
SSA's prior determination or decision must submit a written
readjudication request with specific information. SSA reviews the
information in the request to determine if the issues stated in the AR
pertain to the claimant's case, and if the claimant is entitled to
readjudication. If readjudication is appropriate, SSA considers the
issues the AR covers. Any new determination or decision is subject to
administrative or judicial review as specified in the regulations. This
information collection request (ICR) is for the information claimants
must provide to request readjudication. Respondents are claimants for
Social Security benefits and Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
payments who request readjudication.
Type of Request: Extension of an OMB-approved information
collection.

Requests........................................
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. The Ticket to Work and Self-Sufficiency Program--20 CFR 411--
0960-0644. SSA's Ticket to Work (TTW) Program transitions Social
Security Disability Insurance and SSI recipients toward independence by
allowing them to receive Social Security payments while maintaining
employment under the auspices of the program. SSA uses service
providers, called employment networks (ENs), to supervise participant
progress through the stages of TTW Program participation, such as job
searches and interviews, progress reviews, and changes in ticket
status.
[[Page 36033]]
ENs can be private for-profit and nonprofit organizations, as well as
state vocational rehabilitation agencies (VRs). SSA and the ENs utilize
the TTW program manager to operate the TTW Program and exchange
information about participants. For example, the ENs use the program
manager to provide updates on tasks such as selecting a payment system
or requesting payments for helping the beneficiary achieve certain work
goals. Since the ENs are not PRA-exempt, the multiple information
collections within the TTW program manager require OMB approval, and we
clear them under this ICR. Most of the categories of information in
this ICR are necessary for SSA to: (1) comply with the Ticket to Work
legislation; and (2) provide proper oversight of the program. SSA
collects this information through several modalities, including forms,
electronic exchanges, and written documentation. The respondents are
the ENs or state VRs, as well as SSDI beneficiaries and blind or
disabled SSI recipients working under the auspices of the TTW Program.

II. SSA submitted the information collections below to OMB for
clearance. Your comments regarding the information collections would be
most useful if OMB and SSA receive them 30 days from the date of this
publication. To be sure we consider your comments, we must receive them
no later than July 23, 2015. Individuals can obtain copies of the OMB
clearance packages by writing to OR.Reports.Clearance@ssa.gov.
1. Statement of Claimant or Other Person--20 CFR 404.702 &
416.570--0960-0045. SSA uses Form SSA-795 in special situations where
there is no authorized form or questionnaire, yet we require a signed
statement from the applicant, claimant, or other persons who have
knowledge of facts, in connection with claims for Social Security
benefits or SSI. The information we request on the SSA-795 is of
sufficient importance that we need both a signed statement and a
penalty clause. SSA uses this information to process, in addition to
claims for benefits, issues about continuing eligibility; ongoing
benefit amounts; use of funds by a representative payee; fraud
investigation; and a myriad of other program-related matters. The most
typical respondents are applicants for Social Security, SSI, or
recipients of these programs. However, respondents also include friends
and relatives of the involved parties, coworkers, neighbors, or anyone
else in a position to provide information pertinent to the issue(s).

2. Disability Report--Adult--20 CFR 404.1512 and 416.912--0960-
0579. State Disability Determination Services (DDS) use the SSA-3368
and its electronic versions to determine if adult disability
applicants' impairments are
[[Page 36034]]
severe and, if so, how the impairments affect the applicants' ability
to work. This determination dictates whether the DDSs and SSA will find
the applicant to be disabled and entitled to SSI payments. The
respondents are applicants for Title II disability benefits or Title
XVI SSI payments.

3. Request for Internet Services--Authentication; Automated
Telephone Speech Technology--Knowledge-Based Authentication (RISA-
KBA)--20 CFR 401.45--0960-0596. The Request for Internet Services and
800# Automated Telephone Services (RISA) Knowledge-Based Authentication
(KBA) is one of the authentication methods SSA uses to allow
individuals access to their personal information through our Internet
and Automated Telephone Services. SSA asks individuals and third
parties who seek personal information from SSA records, or who register
to participate in SSA's online business services, to provide certain
identifying information. As an extra measure of protection, SSA asks
requestors who use the Internet and telephone services to provide
additional identifying information unique to those individuals so SSA
can authenticate their identities before releasing personal
information. The respondents are current beneficiaries who are
requesting personal information from SSA, and individuals and third
parties who are registering for SSA's online business services.
This is a correction notice. SSA published this information
collection as a revision on April 9, 2015 at 80 FR 19102. Since we are
not revising the Privacy Act Statement, this is now an extension of an
OMB-approved information collection.

4. Application for Special Benefits for World War II Veterans--20
CFR 408, Subparts B, C, and D--0960-0615. Title VIII of the Act
(Special Benefits for Certain World War II Veterans) allows qualified
World War II veterans residing outside the United States to receive
monthly payments. These regulations establish the requirements
individuals need to qualify for and become entitled to Special Veterans
Benefits (SVB). SSA uses Form SSA-2000-F6 to elicit the information we
need to determine entitlement to SVB. This ICR comprises the relevant
regulations and Form SSA-2006-F6. The respondents are individuals
applying for SVB under Title VIII of the Act.

404.2011 and 20 CFR 416.611 of the Code of Federal Regulations, if SSA
determines it may cause substantial harm for Title II or Title XVI
recipients to receive their payments directly, recipients may dispute
that decision. To do so, recipients provide SSA with information the
agency uses to reevaluate its determination. In addition, our
regulations state that after SSA selects a representative payee to
[[Page 36035]]
receive benefits on a recipient's behalf, the payees provide SSA with
information on their continuing relationship and responsibility for the
recipients, and explain how they use the recipients' payments. Sections
20 CFR 404.2025 and 20 CFR 416.625 of the Code of Federal Regulations
provide a process to follow up with the representative payee to verify
payee performance. The respondents are Title II and Title XVI
recipients, and their representative payees.
