coordinators (CWIC). 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. The respondents are small
business operators in real estate; state
and local government employees tasked
with assessing real property values; and
other individuals knowledgeable about
local real estate values.

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.

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.

On June 28, 2019, Savage Davenport
Railroad Company (SDR) filed with the
Board a petition under 49 U.S.C. 10502
for an exemption from the prior
approval requirements of 49 U.S.C.
10903, to enable SDR to discontinue its
operations over a rail line (the Line)
owned by the City of Davenport, Iowa
(the City), in Scott County, Iowa. 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).
Because this is a discontinuance
proceeding and not an abandonment
proceeding, trail use/rail banking and
public use conditions are not
appropriate. Because there will be an
environmental review during any
subsequent abandonment proceeding,
this discontinuance does not require an

Work Incentives Planning and Assistance Program--0960-0629. As part
of SSA's strategy to assist Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI)
beneficiaries and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients who
wish to return to work and achieve self-sufficiency, SSA established
the Work Incentives Planning and Assistance (WIPA) program. This

collects identifying claimant information via project sites and
community work incentives coordinators (CWIC). 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

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
them no later than August 19, 2019. Individuals can obtain copies of
the OMB clearance packages by writing to [email protected].
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 non-home 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. The
respondents are small business operators in real estate; state and
local government employees tasked with assessing real property values;
and other individuals knowledgeable about local real estate values.
Type of Request: Extension of an OMB-approved information
collection.

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.

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
representatives of claimants before SSA who:
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.
