SSA uses this information to ensure proper management of the project, with particular emphasis on administration, budgeting, and training. In addition, project sites and CWIC’s collect data from SSDI beneficiaries and SSI recipients on background employment, training, benefits, and work incentives. SSA is interested in identifying SSDI beneficiary and SSI recipient outcomes under the WIPA program, to determine the extent to which beneficiaries with disabilities and SSI recipients achieve their employment, financial, and healthcare goals. SSA will also use the data in its analysis and future planning for SSDI and SSI programs. Respondents are SSDI beneficiaries, SSI recipients, community project sites, and employment advisors. Type of Request: Revision of an OMBapproved information collection. 1. Real Property Current Market Value Estimate—0960–0471. SSA considers an individual’s resources when evaluating eligibility for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments. The value of an individual’s resources, including nonhome real property, is one of the eligibility requirements for SSI payments. SSA obtains current market value estimates of the claimant’s real property through Form SSA–L2794. We allow respondents to use readily available records to complete the form, or we can accept their best estimates. We use this form as part of initial applications and in post-entitlement situations.

Research indicates recipients may fail to report circumstances that affect their eligibility. Two such cases are: (1) When parents receiving disability benefits for their child marry; and (2) the removal of an entitled child from parents’ care. SSA uses Form SSA–1588–SM to ask mothers or fathers about both their marital status and children under their care, to detect overpayments and avoid continuing payment to those are no longer entitled.

The physician must verify the adult child’s disability: (1) Pre-dates the child’s 26th birthday; (2) is very serious; and (3) will continue for at least one year. Physicians use Form SSA–604, the Certificate of Incapacity, to document and certify this information, and the Social Security Administration uses the information provided to determine the eligibility for these children, ages 26 and over, for coverage under a parent’s FEHB plan.

The Line is approximately 2.8 miles long, extending from a switch near milepost 191.2 on the main line of a Canadian Pacific Railway subsidiary, west and south to the Davenport Transload Facility owned by the City. The Line traverses U.S. Postal Service Zip Code 52748. According to SDR, the Line was constructed, and is owned, by the City 1 and is subject to a lease between the City and SDR, requiring SDR to provide common carrier rail service over the Line, serving industrial shippers.2 SDR explains that it began operations on the Line in March of 2018, serving one rail customer and the Transload Facility. SDR states that the Transload Facility currently has zero activity. (Pet. 3 n.3.) SDR states that it has advised the City of its desire to discontinue service, and the City has raised no objection provided a suitable replacement is identified. (Id. at 3.) SDR states that, based on the information in SDR’s possession, the Line does not contain federally granted rights-of-way. Any documentation in SDR’s possession will be made available promptly to those requesting it. As a condition to this exemption, any employee adversely affected by the discontinuance of service shall be protected under Oregon Short Line Railroad—Abandonment Portion Goshen Branch Between Firth & Ammon, in Bingham & Bonneville Counties, Idaho, 360 I.C.C. 91 (1979).

    2. Child Care Dropout Questionnaire--20 CFR 404.211(e)(4) --0960-
0474. If individuals applying for Title II disability benefits care for 
their own or their spouse's children under age 3, and have no steady 
earnings during the time they care for those children, they may exclude 
that period of care from the disability computation period. We call 
this the child-care dropout exclusion. SSA uses the information from 
Form SSA-4162 to determine if an individual qualifies for this 
exclusion. Respondents are applicants for Title II disability benefits.
    Type of Request: Revision of an OMB-approved information 
collection.

    3. Medical Report on Adult with Allegation of Human 
Immunodeficiency Virus Infection; Medical Report on Child with 
Allegation of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection--20 CFR 416.933--
20 CFR 416.934--0960-0500. Section 1631(e)(i) of the Social Security 
Act authorizes the Commissioner of SSA to gather information to make a 
determination about an applicant's claim for SSI payments; this 
procedure is the Presumptive Disability (PD). SSA uses Forms SSA-4814-
F5 and SSA-4815-F6 to collect information necessary to determine if an 
individual with human immunodeficiency virus infection, who is applying 
for SSI disability benefits, meets the requirements for PD. The 
respondents are the medical sources of the applicants for SSI 
disability payments.

    4. Beneficiary Recontact Report--20 CFR 404.703 & 404.705--0960-
0502. SSA investigates recipients of disability payments to determine 
their continuing eligibility for payments. Research indicates 
recipients may fail to report circumstances that affect their 
eligibility. Two such cases are: (1) When parents receiving disability 
benefits for their child marry; and (2) the removal of an entitled 
child from parents' care. SSA uses Form SSA-1588-SM to ask mothers or 
fathers about both their marital status and children under their care, 
to detect overpayments and avoid continuing payment to those are no 
longer entitled. Respondents are recipients of mothers' or fathers' 
Social Security benefits.

    5. Certification of Contents of Document(s) or Record(s)--20 CFR 
404.715--0960-0689. SSA established procedures for individuals to 
provide the evidence necessary to establish their rights to Social 
Security benefits. Examples of such evidence categories include age, 
relationship, citizenship, marriage, death, and military service. Form 
SSA-704 allows SSA employees; State record custodians; and other 
custodians of evidentiary documents to certify and record information 
from original documents and records under their custodial ownership to 
establish these types of evidence. SSA uses Form SSA-704 in situations 
where individuals cannot produce the original evidentiary documentation 
required to establish benefits eligibility. The respondents are State 
record custodians and other custodians of evidentiary documents.

    6. Registration for Appointed Representative Services and Direct 
Payment--0960-0732. SSA uses Form SSA-1699 to register appointed

     Want to register for direct payment of fees;
     Registered for direct payment of fees prior to 10/31/09, 
but need to update their information;
     Registered as appointed representatives on or after 10/31/
09, but need to update their information; or
     Received a notice from SSA instructing them to complete 
this form.
    By registering these individuals, SSA: (1) Authenticates and 
authorizes them to do business with us; (2) allows them to access our 
records for the claimants they represent; (3) facilitates direct 
payment of authorized fees to appointed representatives; and, (4) 
collects the information we need to meet Internal Revenue Service (IRS) 
requirements to

[[Page 34472]]

issue specific IRS forms if we pay an appointed representative in 
excess of a specific amount ($600). The respondents are appointed 
representatives who want to use Form SSA-1699 for any of the purposes 
cited in this Notice.

    7. Certificate of Incapacity--5 CFR 890.302(d)--0960-0739. Rules 
governing the Federal Employee Health Benefits (FEHB) plan require a 
physician to verify the disability of Federal employees' children ages 
26 and over for these children to retain health benefits under their 
employed parents' plans. The physician must verify the adult child's 
disability: (1) Pre-dates the child's 26th birthday; (2) is very 
serious; and (3) will continue for at least one year. Physicians use 
Form SSA-604, the Certificate of Incapacity, to document and certify 
this information, and the Social Security Administration uses the 
information provided to determine the eligibility for these children, 
ages 26 and over, for coverage under a parent's FEHB plan. The 
respondents are physicians of SSA employees' children ages 26 or over 
who are seeking to retain health benefits under their parent's FEHB 
coverage.
