Article VIII
A. The Commission, upon its own
initiative after reasonable notice and
opportunity for hearing to the State or upon
request of the Governor of the State, may
terminate or suspend all or part of this
agreement and reassert the licensing and
regulatory authority vested in it under the
Act if the Commission finds that (1) such
termination or suspension is required to
protect public health and safety, or (2) the
State has not complied with one or more of
the requirements of Section 274 of the Act.
1. This Agreement will terminate without
further NRC action if the State does not
amend Wyoming Statute Section 35–11–
2004(c) to be compatible with Section
83b.(1)(A) of the Act by the end of the 2019
Wyoming legislative session. Upon passage
of a revised Wyoming Statute Section 35–11–
2004(c) that the NRC finds compatible with
Section 83b.(1)(A) of the Act, this paragraph
expires and is no longer part of the
Agreement.
B. The Commission may also, pursuant to
Section 274j. of the Act, temporarily suspend
all or part of this agreement if, in the
judgment of the Commission, an emergency
situation exists requiring immediate action to
protect public health and safety and the State
has failed to take necessary steps. The
Commission shall periodically review actions
taken by the State under this Agreement to
ensure compliance with Section 274 of the
Act, which requires a State program to be
adequate to protect public health and safety
with respect to the materials covered by this
Agreement and to be compatible with the
Commission’s program.
Article IX
In the licensing and regulation of
byproduct material as defined in Section
11e.(2) of the Act, or of any activity that
results in production of such material, the
State shall comply with the provisions of
Section 274o. of the Act, if in such licensing
and regulation, the State requires financial
surety arrangements for reclamation or longterm surveillance and maintenance of such
material.
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 244001
A. The total amount of funds the State
collects for such purposes shall be
transferred to the United States if custody of
such material and its disposal site is
transferred to the United States upon
termination of the State license for such
material or any activity that results in the
production of such material. Such funds
include, but are not limited to, sums
collected for long-term surveillance or
maintenance. Such funds do not, however,
include monies held as surety where no
default has occurred and the reclamation or
other bonded activity has been performed;
and,
B. Such surety or other financial
requirements must be sufficient to ensure
compliance with those standards established
by the Commission pertaining to bonds,
sureties, and financial arrangements to
ensure adequate reclamation and long-term
management of such byproduct material and
its disposal site.
Article X
This Agreement shall become effective on
[date], and shall remain in effect unless and
until such time as it is terminated pursuant
to Article VIII.

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 September
10, 2018. Individuals can obtain copies

to the above email address.
1. Medical Source Opinion 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 these
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 the
beneficiary’s physicians, or medical
officers of the institution in which the
beneficiary resides.

404.1584–404.1593, and 416.971–
404.976—0960–0059. SSA uses Form
SA–821–BK to collect recipient
employment information to determine
whether recipients worked after
becoming disabled and, if so, whether
the work is substantial gainful activity.
SSA uses Form SSA–821–BK to obtain
work information during the initial
claims process, the continuing disability
review process, post-adjudicative work
issue actions, and for Supplemental
Security Income (SSI) claims involving
work issues. SSA reviews and evaluates
the data to determine if the applicant or
recipient meets the disability
requirements of the law. The
respondents are applicants and
recipients of Title II Social Security and
Title XVI SSI disability payments.

416.1507, and 416.1520—0960–0527.
Individuals claiming rights or benefits
under the Social Security Act (Act) must
notify SSA in writing when they
appoint an individual to represent them
in dealing with SSA. In addition, SSA
requires representatives to sign the
notice of appointment, or submit the
equivalent in writing, if the
representative is not an attorney.
Recipients use Form SSA–1696–U4 to
appoint a representative to handle their
claim before SSA, and their appointed
representative uses the SSA–1696–U4 to
indicate whether they will charge a fee,
and to show their eligibility for direct
fee payment. In addition,
representatives also use the SSA–1696–
U4 to inform SSA of their disbarment;
suspension from a court or bar in which
they previously admitted to practice; or
their disqualification from participating
in or appearing before a Federal
program or agency. Finally, SSA
requires non-attorney appointed
representatives to sign the SSA–1696–
U4, or an equivalent written statement.
SSA uses the information on the SSA–
1696–U4 to document the appointment
of the representative. Respondents are
applicants for, or recipients of, Social
Security disability benefits (SSDI) or SSI
payments who are notifying SSA they
have appointed a person to represent
them in their dealings with SSA, and
their non-attorney representatives who
need to sign the form.

1. Claimant’s Medication—20 CFR
404.1512, 416.912—0960–0289. In cases
where claimants request a hearing after
denial of their disability claim for Social
Security, SSA uses Form HA–4632 to
request information from the claimant
regarding the medications they use. This
information helps the administrative
law judge overseeing the case to fully

Special Veterans Benefits—20 CFR
408.665—0960–0621. Title VIII of the
Act allows for payment of monthly
Social Security benefits to qualified
World War II veterans residing outside
the United States. An SSA-appointed
representative payee may receive and
manage the monthly payment for the
beneficiary’s use and benefit. SSA uses
the information on Form SSA–2001–F6
to determine whether the representative
payee used the certified payments
properly, and continues to demonstrate
strong concern for the beneficiary’s best
interests.
Representative payees who receive
Special Veterans Benefits (SVB) on
behalf of beneficiaries residing outside
the United States must complete the
SSA–2001–F6 annually. We also require
these representative payees to complete
the form any time we have reason to
believe they could be misusing the
benefit payments. The respondents are
individuals or organizations serving as
representative payees who receive SVB
on behalf of beneficiaries living outside
the United States.

State, local, and foreign governments, as
well as private organizations, to share
data electronically. SSA engages in
various forms of data exchanges from
Social Security number verifications to
computer matches for benefit eligibility,
depending on the requestor’s business
needs. Section 1106 of the Act requires
we consider the requestor’s legal
authority to receive the data, our

3. Appointment of Representative--20 CFR 404.1707, 404.1720,
408.1101, 416.1507, and 416.1520--0960-0527. Individuals claiming
rights or benefits under the Social Security Act (Act) must notify SSA
in writing when they appoint an individual to represent them in dealing
with SSA. In addition, SSA requires representatives to sign the notice
of appointment, or submit the equivalent in writing, if the
representative is not an attorney. Recipients use Form SSA-1696-U4 to
appoint a representative to handle their claim before SSA, and their
appointed representative uses the SSA-1696-U4 to indicate whether they
will charge a fee, and to show their eligibility for direct fee
payment. In addition, representatives also use the SSA-1696-U4 to
inform SSA of their disbarment; suspension from a court or bar in which
they previously admitted to practice; or their disqualification from
participating in or appearing before a Federal program or agency.
Finally, SSA requires non-attorney appointed representatives to sign
the SSA-1696-U4, or an equivalent written statement. SSA uses the
information on the SSA-1696-U4 to document the appointment of the
representative. Respondents are applicants for, or recipients of,
Social Security disability benefits (SSDI) or SSI payments who are
notifying SSA they have appointed a person to represent them in their
dealings with SSA, and their non-attorney representatives who need to
sign the form.

20 CFR 416.546, 416.635, 416.640, and 416.665--0960-0576. SSA requires
representative payees (RPs) to submit a written report accounting for
the use of money paid to Social Security or SSI recipients, and to
establish and maintain a dedicated account for these payments. SSA uses
Form SSA-6233 to: (1) Ensure the RPs use the payments for the
recipient's current maintenance and personal needs; and (2) confirm the
expenditures of funds from the dedicated account remain in compliance
with the law. Respondents are RPs for SSI and Social Security
recipients.

II. SSA submitted the information collections below to OMB for
clearance. Your comments regarding these 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

OMB clearance packages by writing to [email protected].
1. Claimant's Medication--20 CFR 404.1512, 416.912--0960-0289. In
cases where claimants request a hearing after denial of their
disability claim for Social Security, SSA uses Form HA-4632 to request
information from the claimant regarding the medications they use. This
information helps the administrative law judge overseeing the case to
fully investigate: (1) The claimant's medical treatment and (2) the
effects of the medications on the claimant's medical impairments and
functional capacity. The respondents are applicants (or their
representatives) for Old Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance
(OASDI) benefits or SSI payments who request a hearing to contest an
agency denial of their claim.

2. Representative Payee Report--Special Veterans Benefits--20 CFR
408.665--0960-0621. Title VIII of the Act allows for payment of monthly
Social Security benefits to qualified World War II veterans residing
outside the United States. An SSA-appointed representative payee may
receive and manage the monthly payment for the beneficiary's use and
benefit. SSA uses the information on Form SSA-2001-F6 to determine
whether the representative payee used the certified payments properly,
and continues to demonstrate strong concern for the beneficiary's best
interests.
Representative payees who receive Special Veterans Benefits (SVB)
on behalf of beneficiaries residing outside the United States must
complete the SSA-2001-F6 annually. We also require these representative
payees to complete the form any time we have reason to believe they
could be misusing the benefit payments. The respondents are individuals
or organizations serving as representative payees who receive SVB on
behalf of beneficiaries living outside the United States.

3. Data Exchange Request Form--20 CFR 401.100--0960-0802. SSA
maintains approximately 3,000 data exchange agreements and regularly
receives new requests from Federal, State, local, and foreign
governments, as well as private organizations, to share data
electronically. SSA engages in various forms of data exchanges from
Social Security number verifications to computer matches for benefit
eligibility, depending on the requestor's business needs. Section 1106
of the Act requires we consider the requestor's legal authority to
receive the data, our disclosure policies, systems' feasibility,
systems' security, and costs before entering into a data exchange
agreement. We use Form SSA-157, Data Exchange Request Form, for this
purpose. Requesting agencies, governments, or private organizations use
the SSA-157 when voluntarily initiating a request for data exchange
from SSA. Respondents are Federal, State, local, and foreign
governments, as well as private organizations seeking to share data
electronically with SSA.
Type of Request: Revision of an OMB-approved information
collection.
