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 Out of Home Holdings,
LLC, 330 Roberts Street, Suite 301, East
Hartford, CT 06108. The financing was
contemplated for the acquisition of
Grand Design Media, 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 an equity ownership greater
than ten percent of Out of Home
Holdings, LLC. Therefore, this
transaction is considered 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.

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
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.

Or you may submit your comments
online through www.regulations.gov,
referencing Docket ID Number [SSA–
2016–0065].
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 February 27,
2017. Individuals can obtain copies of
the collection instruments by writing to
the above email address.
1. Questionnaire About Employment
or Self-Employment Outside the United
States—20 CFR 404.401(b)(1), 404.415 &
404.417—0960–0050. When a Social
Security beneficiary or claimant reports
work outside the United States (U.S.),
SSA uses Form SSA–7163 to determine
if foreign work deductions are
applicable. Specifically, SSA uses Form
SSA–7163 to determine: (1) Whether
work performed by beneficiaries outside
the U.S. is cause for deductions from
their monthly benefits; (2) which of two
work tests (foreign or regular test) is
applicable; and (3) the number of
months, if any, for SSA-imposed
deductions. SSA determines whether
the annual earnings test applies to all
earnings from work covered by the
Social Security Act (Act), including
earnings from covered work performed
outside the U.S. However, because of
the differences in foreign currency
values, it is administratively impractical
to apply this test to earnings from noncovered work performed outside the
U.S. and base it on U.S. dollars.
Accordingly, the 45-hour work test
provides for deductions from the
benefits of employees under full
retirement age who engage in noncovered remunerative activity for more
than 45 hours in a calendar month. SSA
asks beneficiaries working outside the
U.S. to complete this form annually or
every other year (depending on the
country of residence). Respondents are
beneficiaries or claimants for Social
Security benefits living and working
outside the U.S.
Type of Request: Revision of an OMBapproved information collection.

personnel who are applying for benefits

Act require SSA to periodically review
the cases of individuals who receive
benefits under Title II or Title XVI based
on disability, to determine if disability
continues. SSA uses Form SSA–454,
Continuing Disability Review Report, to
complete the review for continued
disability. SSA considers adults eligible
for payment if they continue to be
unable to do substantial gainful activity
because of their impairments; and we
consider Title XVI children eligible for
