Modifications to the Disability
Determination Procedures; End of the
Single Decisionmaker Test and
Extension of the Prototype Test
Social Security Administration.
Notice.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:39 Dec 11, 2018
Jkt 247001
We are announcing the end of
the ‘‘single decisionmaker’’ test,
consistent with our notice in the
Federal Register in 2016, in which we
said that we would end the test by
December 28, 2018. This notice also
extends the separate ‘‘prototype’’ test
until its cessation in June 2020.
DATES: This notice is applicable on
December 12, 2018.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
William P. Gibson, Office of Legislation
and Congressional Affairs, Social
Security Administration, 6401 Security
Boulevard, Baltimore, MD 21235–6401,
(410) 966–9039, for information about
this notice. For information on
eligibility or filing for benefits, call our
national toll-free number, 1–800–772–
1213 or TTY 1–800–325–0778, or visit
our internet site, Social Security Online,
at https://www.socialsecurity.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Our
current rules authorize us to test,
individually or in any combination,
certain modifications to the disability
determination procedures. 20 CFR
404.906 and 416.1406. We conducted
several tests under the authority of these
rules. In the ‘‘single decisionmaker’’
test, a disability examiner may make the
initial disability determination in most
cases without obtaining the signature of
a medical or psychological consultant.
Under section 832 of the Bipartisan
Budget Act of 2015 (BBA),1 we are
required to end the single
decisionmaker test. On August 25, 2016,
we announced that we would conclude
use of the single decisionmaker test by
December 28, 2018. 81 FR 58544.
We ended the single decisionmaker
test on October 1, 2018, in the 19 States
and the territory of Guam that used this
test. There were nine States and the
territory of Guam that used single
decisionmaker as a stand-alone test. The
remaining 10 States used single
decisionmaker as part of a separate test
that we refer to as the ‘‘disability
prototype.’’ 64 FR 47218.
One feature of the prototype test
eliminates the reconsideration level of
our administrative review process. We
are continuing to make decisions in
these 10 States by maintaining the
elimination of the reconsideration level,
but as noted above, as of October 1,
2018, consistent with section 832 of the
BBA, we have been making
determinations by using medical
consultants in those States with the
prototype tests.
We will begin phasing out the
prototype test in January 2019 in the
following five States: New Hampshire;

New York; Louisiana; Colorado; and in
the part of California 2 where the
prototype test is currently being
conducted. This means that for the
residents in these locations who apply
for Social Security Disability Insurance
Benefits or Supplemental Security
Income, or both, and who receive an
initial denial determination on or after
January 1, 2019, the first step of the
appeals process will be to request a
reconsideration of that determination. If
we deny an individual at the
reconsideration step, they may then
seek further review of their claim by
requesting a hearing before an
administrative law judge.
We will eliminate the prototype test
in the remaining five States
(Pennsylvania; Alabama; Michigan;
Missouri; and Alaska) by June 26, 2020,
at which time the test will end. With the
end of the prototype test, we will return
to a national, unified disability process
that affords all disability claimants the
same appeal rights in all States.

Acting Commissioner of Social Security.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Drug Offender’s Driver’s License
Suspension Certification
OMB Control #: 2125–0579.
Background: States are legally
required to enact and enforce laws that
revoke or suspend the drivers licenses
of any individual convicted of a drug
offense and to make annual
certifications to the FHWA on their
actions. The Department of
Transportation’s implementing
regulations (23 CFR part 192) of 23
U.S.C. 159 require annual certifications
by the Governors. In this regard, the
State must submit by January 1 of each
year either a written certification, signed
by the Governor, stating that the State is
in compliance with 23 U.S.C. 159; or a
written certification stating that the
Governor is opposed to the enactment or
enforcement, and that the State
legislature has adopted a resolution
expressing its opposition to 23 U.S.C.
159.
Beginning in Fiscal Year 2012, States’
failure to comply by October 1 of each
fiscal year resulted in a withholding
penalty of 8 percent from States’
apportionments for the fiscal year. Any
Funds withheld from a State under 23
U.S.C. 159 shall not be available for
apportionment to that State.
Respondents: 50 States and the
District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.
Estimated Annual Burden Hours:
Annual average of 5 hours for each
