Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 60 / Thursday, March 30, 2017 / Notices
referencing Docket ID Number [SSA–
2017–0014].
I. The information collection below is
pending at SSA. SSA will submit it 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 May 30, 2017. Individuals can
obtain copies of the collection
instrument by writing to the above
email address.
Objection to Appearing by Video
Teleconferencing; Acknowledgement of
Receipt (Notice of Hearing); Waiver of
Written Notice of Hearing—20 CFR
404.935, 404.936; 404.938, 404.939,
416.1435, 416.1436, 416.1438, &
416.1439—0960–0671. SSA uses the
information we obtain on Forms HA–55,
HA–504, HA–504–OP1, and HA–510 to
manage the means by which we conduct
hearings before an administrative law
judge (ALJ), and the scheduling of
hearings with an ALJ. We use the HA–
55, Objection to Appearing by Video
Teleconferencing, and its accompanying
cover letter, HA–L2, to allow claimants
to opt-out of an appearance via video
teleconferencing (VTC) for their hearing
with an ALJ. The HA–L2 explains the
good cause stipulation for opting out of
VTC if the claimant misses their
window to submit the HA–55, and for
verifying a new residence address if the
claimant moved since submitting their
initial hearing request. SSA uses the
HA–504 and HA–504–OP1,
Acknowledgement of Receipt (Notice of
Hearing), and accompanying cover
letter, HA–L83 to: (1) Acknowledge the
claimants will appear for their hearing
with an ALJ; (2) establish the time and
place of the hearing; and (3) remind
claimants to gather evidence in support
of their claims. The only difference
between the two versions of the HA–504
is the language used for the selection
checkboxes as determined by the type of
appearance for the hearing (in-person,
phone teleconference, or VTC). In
addition, the cover letter, HA–L83,
explains: (1) The claimants’ need to
notify SSA of their wish to object to the
time and place set for the hearing; (2)
the good cause stipulation for missing
the deadline for objecting to the time
and place of the hearing; and (3) how
the claimants can submit, in writing,
any additional evidence they would like
the ALJ to consider, or any objections
they have on their claims. The HA–510,
Waiver of Written Notice of Hearing,
allows the claimants to waive their right
to receive the Notice of Hearing as
specified in the HA–L83. We typically
use this form when there is a last
minute available opening on an ALJ’s
schedule, so the claimants can fill in the
available time slot. If the claimants
agree to fill the time slot, we ask them
to waive their right to receive the Notice
of Hearing 75 days prior to the
scheduled hearing. The respondents are
applicants for Social Security disability
payments who request a hearing to
appeal an unfavorable entitlement or
eligibility determination.
Type of Request: Revision of an OMBapproved information collection.

SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD
30-Day Notice of Intent To Seek
Approval of an Existing Collection in
Use Without an OMB Control Number:
Dispute Resolution Procedures Under
the Fixing America’s Surface
Transportation Act of 2015
Surface Transportation Board.
Notice and Request for
Comments.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
As part of its continuing effort
to reduce paperwork burdens, and as
required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501–3521 (PRA),
the Surface Transportation Board (STB
or Board) gives notice that it is
requesting from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)
approval of a new collection to
implement a directive of the Fixing
America’s Surface Transportation Act of
2015, Public Law 114–94 (signed Dec. 4,
2015) (FAST Act). Title XI of the FAST
Act, entitled ‘‘Passenger Rail Reform
and Investment Act of 2015,’’ gives the
Board jurisdiction to resolve cost
allocation and access disputes between
National Railroad Passenger Corporation
(Amtrak), the states, and potential nonAmtrak operations of intercity passenger
rail service. The FAST Act directs the
Board to establish procedures for the
resolution of these disputes, ‘‘which
may include the provision of
professional mediation services.’’
The Board adopted final rules to
implement these procedures in Dispute
Resolution Procedures Under the Fixing
America’s Surface Transportation Act of
2015, EP 734 (STB served Nov. 29,
2016). Due to a technical omission in
the notice of proposed rulemaking in EP
734 under the PRA, the Board is seeking
OMB approval for this collection
separately in this notice. The Board
previously published a notice about this
collection in the Federal Register. 82 FR
1421 (Jan. 5, 2017). That notice allowed
for a 60-day public review and comment
period. No comments were received.
DATE: Comments on this information
collection should be submitted by May
1, 2017.
ADDRESSES: Written comments should
be identified as ‘‘Paperwork Reduction
Act Comments, Surface Transportation
Board: Dispute Resolution Procedures
Under the Fixing America’s Surface
Transportation Act of 2015.’’ These
comments should be directed to the
Office of Management and Budget,

Affairs, Attention: Chad Lallemand,
