SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
In accordance with the Privacy Act (5
U.S.C. 552a) we are issuing public
notice of our intent to establish a new
system of records entitled, Security and
Suitability Files (60–0377).
We are establishing the Security and
Suitability Files to govern the
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:33 Nov 14, 2018
Jkt 247001
information we generate in conducting
personnel security and suitability
background investigations. With limited
exceptions, persons appointed to, and
under consideration for, Federal service
or contract employment are required to
submit to a suitability background
investigation. The Deputy
Commissioner for Human Resources,
Office of Personnel, Center for
Suitability and Personnel Security
(CSPS) oversees and is responsible for
adjudicating these investigations.
Information collected as part of the
agency’s suitability and background
investigations process that is sent to the
Office of Personnel Management (OPM)
is covered by OPM/Central-9, Personnel
Investigations Records. The Security
and Suitability Files we are creating
covers any additional security and
suitability related information generated
by SSA that is not sent to OPM. We will
use the information we collect to
conduct background investigations to
establish that individuals employed by
SSA, working for SSA under contract, or
otherwise granted access to agency
facilities and records are suitable for
such employment or access.
Due to the investigatory nature of
information that will be maintained in
this system of records, this rule would
add the Security and Suitability Files to
the list of SSA systems that are exempt
from specific provisions of the Privacy
Act pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(5).
Rulemaking Analyses and Notices
All comments received on or before
the close of business on the comment
closing date indicated above will be
considered and will be available for
examination in the docket at the above
address. Comments received after the
comment closing date will be filed in
the docket and will be considered to the
extent practicable. A final rule may be
published at any time after close of the
comment period.
Clarity of This Rule
Executive Order 12866, as
supplemented by Executive Order
13563, requires each agency to write all
rules in plain language. In addition to
your substantive comments on this
interim final rule, we invite your
comments on how to make the rule
easier to understand.
For example:
• Would more, but shorter, sections
be better?
• Are the requirements in the rule
clearly stated?
• Have we organized the material to
suit your needs?
• Could we improve clarity by adding
tables, lists, or diagrams?
PO 00000
Frm 00025
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
57367
• What else could we do to make the
rule easier to understand?
• Does the rule contain technical
language or jargon that is not clear?
• Would a different format make the
rule easier to understand, e.g. grouping
and order of sections, use of headings,
paragraphing?
Regulatory Procedures
SSA will publish a final rule
responding to any comments received
and, if appropriate, will amend
provisions of the rule.
Executive Order 12866, as
Supplemented by Executive Order
13563
We consulted with the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) and
determined that this proposed rule does
not meet the criteria for a significant
regulatory action under Executive Order
12866, as supplemented by Executive
Order 13563.
We also determined that this
proposed rule meets the plain language
requirement of Executive Order 12866.
Executive Order 13132 (Federalism)
This proposed rule was analyzed in
accordance with the principles and
criteria established by Executive Order
13132, and SSA determined that the
proposed rule will not have sufficient
Federalism implications to warrant the
preparation of a Federalism assessment.
SSA also determined that this proposed
rule will not preempt any State law or
State regulation or affect the States’
abilities to discharge traditional State
governmental functions.
Executive Order 12372
(Intergovernmental Review)
The regulations effectuating Executive
Order 12372 regarding
intergovernmental consultation on
Federal programs and activities apply to
this proposed rule.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
We certify that this proposed rule will
not have a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities
because it affects individuals only.
Therefore, the Regulatory Flexibility
Act, as amended, does not require us to
prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis.
Paperwork Reduction Act
These rules do not create any new or
affect any existing collections and,
therefore, do not require Office of
Management and Budget approval
under the Paperwork Reduction Act.

We propose to revise our
rules to explain that the agency retains
the right to determine how parties and
witnesses will appear at a hearing before
an administrative law judge (ALJ) at the
hearing level of our administrative
review process, and we will set the time

We also propose to revise our rules to

will determine how parties and
witnesses will appear, and will set the
time and place for a hearing, before a
disability hearing officer (DHO) at the

We propose that parties to a hearing will

appearing by the manner of hearing we
choose. We also propose rules that
explain how we will determine the
manner of a party’s or a witness’s
appearance. We expect these proposed

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
When we determine whether you are
disabled under the old-age, survivors,
and disability insurance program under
title II of the Social Security Act (Act)
or the Supplemental Security Income
(SSI) program under title XVI of the Act,
we follow an administrative review
process that usually consists of the
following steps: 1 An initial
determination, a reconsideration,2 a
hearing before an ALJ, and Appeals
Council review. If you are dissatisfied
with the initial determination of your
disability claim(s), you may request
reconsideration. In most cases, the
reconsideration step of the
administrative review process, which is
technically the first level of appeal in
the administrative review process for
Social Security disability claims in most
States,3 consists of a case review by
Disability Determination Services (DDS)
personnel who were not involved in the
initial determination. If you are
dissatisfied with your reconsidered
determination, you may request a
hearing, which is held by an ALJ.4 If you
are dissatisfied with an ALJ’s decision,
you may ask the Appeals Council to
review that decision. After you have
completed these steps of the
administrative review process, you may
request judicial review of our final
decision by filing a civil action in a
Federal district court.
Once you are receiving benefits under
title II or XVI of the Act, we are required
to conduct CDRs periodically to
determine whether your disability
continues.5 When we make a medical
cessation determination that you are no
longer disabled because your medical
impairment(s) has ceased, did not exist,
1 20 CFR 404.902, 416.1402; 20 CFR 404.909,
416.1409; 20 CFR 404.933, 416.1433; 20 CFR
404.968, 416.1468.
2 In certain States, which we refer to as
‘‘prototype States,’’ we modified the disability
determination process by eliminating the
reconsideration step of the administrative review
process. If an individual in a prototype State is
dissatisfied with the initial determination on his or
her disability claim(s), he or she may request a
hearing before an ALJ. 20 CFR 404.906(b)(4),
416.1406(b)(4). Beginning January of 2019, this
prototype process is being phased out, and the
reconsideration step reinstated in ten states.
Reconsideration reinstatement will be complete by
mid Fiscal Year 2020.
3 The exception would be the prototype States.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
In accordance with the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a) we are issuing
public notice of our intent to establish a new system of records
entitled, Security and Suitability Files (60-0377).
We are establishing the Security and Suitability Files to govern
the information we generate in conducting personnel security and
suitability background investigations. With limited exceptions, persons
appointed to, and under consideration for, Federal service or contract
employment are required to submit to a suitability background
investigation. The Deputy Commissioner for Human Resources, Office of
Personnel, Center for Suitability and Personnel Security (CSPS)
oversees and is responsible for adjudicating these investigations.
Information collected as part of the agency's suitability and
background investigations process that is sent to the Office of
Personnel Management (OPM) is covered by OPM/Central-9, Personnel
Investigations Records. The Security and Suitability Files we are
creating covers any additional security and suitability related
information generated by SSA that is not sent to OPM. We will use the
information we collect to conduct background investigations to
establish that individuals employed by SSA, working for SSA under
contract, or otherwise granted access to agency facilities and records
are suitable for such employment or access.
Due to the investigatory nature of information that will be
maintained in this system of records, this rule would add the Security
and Suitability Files to the list of SSA systems that are exempt from
specific provisions of the Privacy Act pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(5).

requires each agency to write all rules in plain language. In addition
to your substantive comments on this interim final rule, we invite your
comments on how to make the rule easier to understand.
For example:
Would more, but shorter, sections be better?
Are the requirements in the rule clearly stated?
Have we organized the material to suit your needs?
Could we improve clarity by adding tables, lists, or
diagrams?
What else could we do to make the rule easier to
understand?
Does the rule contain technical language or jargon that is
not clear?
Would a different format make the rule easier to
understand, e.g. grouping and order of sections, use of headings,
paragraphing?
Regulatory Procedures
SSA will publish a final rule responding to any comments received
and, if appropriate, will amend provisions of the rule.
Executive Order 12866, as Supplemented by Executive Order 13563
We consulted with the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and
determined that this proposed rule does not meet the criteria for a
significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866, as
supplemented by Executive Order 13563.
We also determined that this proposed rule meets the plain language
requirement of Executive Order 12866.
Executive Order 13132 (Federalism)
This proposed rule was analyzed in accordance with the principles
and criteria established by Executive Order 13132, and SSA determined
that the proposed rule will not have sufficient Federalism implications
to warrant the preparation of a Federalism assessment. SSA also
determined that this proposed rule will not preempt any State law or
State regulation or affect the States' abilities to discharge
traditional State governmental functions.
Executive Order 12372 (Intergovernmental Review)
The regulations effectuating Executive Order 12372 regarding
intergovernmental consultation on Federal programs and activities apply
to this proposed rule.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
We certify that this proposed rule will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities because it
affects individuals only. Therefore, the Regulatory Flexibility Act, as
amended, does not require us to prepare a regulatory flexibility
analysis.
Paperwork Reduction Act
These rules do not create any new or affect any existing
collections and, therefore, do not require Office of Management and
Budget approval under the Paperwork Reduction Act.
