V. Accelerated Approval of Proposed
Rule Change, as Modified by
Amendment No. 1
No. 1, be, and hereby is, approved on an
accelerated basis.
For the Commission, by the Division of
Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated
authority.21
J. Matthew DeLesDernier,
Assistant Secretary.
[FR Doc. 2022–05021 Filed 3–9–22; 8:45 am]
BILLING CODE 8011–01–P
The Commission finds good cause to
approve the proposed rule change, as
modified by Amendment No. 1, prior to
the thirtieth day after the date of
publication of notice of the filing of
Amendment No. 1 in the Federal
Register. In Amendment No. 1, FINRA
removed all provisions relating to
delayed Treasury spot trades. In doing
so, FINRA noted that it would
‘‘continue to consider whether any
potential alternative to the proposed
approach may better meet FINRA’s
regulatory objectives in this area.’’ The
parts of the proposed rule change
relating to the modifier for corporate
bond transactions that are part of a
larger portfolio trade remain identical to
those noticed for comment, to which
commenters had opportunity to respond
and have in fact responded. Therefore,
the Commission finds good cause,
pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the
Act,19 to approve the proposed rule
change, as modified by Amendment No.
1, on an accelerated basis.
VI. Conclusion
It is therefore ordered, pursuant to
Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,20 that the
proposed rule change (SR–FINRA–
2021–030), as modified by Amendment

1. Certificate of Responsibility for
Welfare and Care of Child Not in
Applicant’s Custody—20 CFR 404.330,
404.339–404.341 and 404.348–
404.349—0960–0019. SSA uses Form
SSA–781 to determine if non-custodial
parents who file for spouse, mother’s,
father’s, or surviving divorced mother’s
or father’s benefits based on having a
child in their care, meet the child-incare requirements. The child-in-care
provision requires claimants to have an
entitled child under age 16 or disabled
in their care. The respondents are
applicants for spouse’s; mother’s;
father’s; or surviving divorced mother’s
or father’s Social Security benefits.

2. Child Relationship Statement—20
CFR 404.355 and 404.731—0960–0116.
To help determine a child’s entitlement
to Social Security benefits, SSA uses
criteria under Section 216(h)(3) of the
Social Security Act (Act), deemed child
provision. SSA may deem a child to an
insured individual if: (1) The insured
individual presents SSA with

3. Pre-1957 Military Service Federal
Benefit Questionnaire—20 CFR
404.1301–404.1371—0960–0120. SSA
may grant gratuitous military wage
credits for active military or naval
service (under certain conditions)
during the period September 16, 1940
through December 31, 1956, if no other
Federal agency (other than the Veterans
Administration) credited the service for
benefit eligibility or computation
purposes. We use Form SSA–2512 to
collect specific information about other
Federal, military, or civilian benefits the
wage earner may receive when the
applicant indicates both pre-1957
military service and the receipt of a
Federal benefit. SSA uses the data in the
claims adjudication process to grant

4. Authorization for the Social
Security Administration to Obtain
Account Records from a Financial
Institution—20 CFR 416.200, 416.203,
416.207, 404.508, and 416.553—0960–
0293. SSA collects and verifies financial
information from individuals applying
for Title II and Title XVI waiver
determinations, as well as those who
apply for, or currently receive (in the
case of redetermination), Supplemental
Security Income (SSI) payments. We
require the financial information from

for SSI benefits; or (2) determine if a
request to waive a Social Security
overpayment defeats the purpose of the
Act. If the Title II and Title XVI waiver
applicants, or the SSI claimants provide
incomplete, unavailable, or seemingly
altered records, SSA contacts their
financial institutions to verify the
existence, ownership, and value of
accounts owned. Financial institutions

416.1507, and 416.1520—0960–0527.
Individuals claiming rights or benefits
under the Act must notify SSA in
writing when they appoint an
individual to represent them in dealing
with SSA. In addition, as part of SSA’s
regulations, SSA requires
representatives who are not attorneys to
sign the written notice of appointment.
SSA does not require attorneys acting as
representatives to sign the notice of
appointment. Respondents can use
Form SSA–1696, or the submittable
electronic version, e1696, to appoint a
representative to handle their claim
before SSA and name their principal
representative, and their selected
representative(s) can use the SSA–1696
or e1696 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 or e1696 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. SSA uses the information on the
SSA–1696 or e1696 to document the
appointment of the representative, and
we recognize the individual named in
the notice of appointment the claimant
signed and filed at an SSA office, or
through our submittable portal, as the
claimant’s representative. We also use
this form to collect the representative’s
business affiliation and employment
identification number. In addition,
respondents use the SSA–1696–SUP1 to
revoke their appointment of a
representative, and representatives use

the SSA–1696–SUP2 to withdraw their

uses the information on the SSA–1696–

Respondents are applicants for, or
recipients of, Social Security disability
benefits (SSDI); SSI payments; or
anyone pursuing a benefit or invoking a
right under SSA programs, who are
notifying SSA they have appointed
someone to represent them in their
dealings with SSA; any non-attorney
representatives who need to sign the
form; as well as individuals revoking
their appointment of representative, and
their representatives’ withdrawal of
their acceptance of an appointment.

9. Work Incentives Planning and
Assistance Program—0960–0629. As
part of SSA’s strategy to assist SSDI
beneficiaries and SSI recipients who
wish to return to work and achieve selfsufficiency, SSA established the Work
Incentives Planning and Assistance
(WIPA) program. This community
based, work incentive, planning and
assistance project 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. SSA uses Form
SSA–4565 (WIPA Intake Information) to
collect data from SSDI beneficiaries and
SSI recipients on background
employment, training, benefits, and
work incentives. CWIC use Form SSA–
4566 (WIPA Notes) to create a case note
to record actions taken for a beneficiary.
CWIC will use the WIPA Star System
which is a new management and
reporting system that allows the CWIC
to: (1) Provide SSA with information
provided on Form SSA–4565, and
additional information on beneficiaries

10. Internet Direct Deposit
Application—31 CFR 210—0960–0634.
SSA requires all applicants and
recipients of Social Security Old Age,
Survivors, and Disability Insurance
(OASDI) benefits, or SSI payments to
receive these benefits and payments via
direct deposit, at a financial institution.
SSA receives Direct Deposit/Electronic
Funds Transfer (DD/EFT) enrollment
information from OASDI beneficiaries
and SSI recipients to facilitate DD/EFT
of their funds, with their chosen
financial institution. We also use this
information when an enrolled
individual wishes to change their DD/
EFT information. For the convenience of
the respondents, we collect this
information through several modalities,
including an internet application, inoffice or telephone interviews, and our
automated telephone system. In
addition to using the direct deposit
information to enable DD/EFT of funds
Number of

to the recipient’s chosen financial
institution, we also use the information
through our Direct Deposit Fraud

Direct Deposit program, or change their
direct deposit banking information.

11. International Direct Deposit—31
CFR 210—0960–0686. SSA’s
International Direct Deposit (IDD)
Program allows beneficiaries living
abroad to receive their payments via
direct deposit to an account at a
financial institution outside the United
States. SSA uses Form SSA–1199-
(Country) to enroll Title II beneficiaries
residing abroad in IDD, and to obtain
the direct deposit information for
foreign accounts. Routing account
number information varies slightly for
each foreign country, so we use a
variation of the Treasury Department’s

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

1. Certificate of Responsibility for Welfare and Care of Child Not
in Applicant's Custody--20 CFR 404.330, 404.339-404.341 and 404.348-
404.349--0960-0019. SSA uses Form SSA-781 to determine if non-custodial
parents who file for spouse, mother's, father's, or surviving divorced
mother's or father's benefits based on having a child in their care,
meet the child-in-care requirements. The child-in-care provision
requires claimants to have an entitled child under age 16 or disabled
in their care. The respondents are applicants for spouse's; mother's;
father's; or surviving divorced mother's or father's Social Security
benefits.

respondents to complete the application.
2. Child Relationship Statement--20 CFR 404.355 and 404.731--0960-
0116. To help determine a child's entitlement to Social Security
benefits, SSA uses criteria under Section 216(h)(3) of the Social
Security Act (Act), deemed child provision. SSA may deem a child to an
insured individual if: (1) The insured individual presents SSA with
satisfactory evidence of parenthood, and was living with or
contributing to the child's support at certain specified times; or (2)
the insured individual (a) acknowledged the child in writing; (b) was
court decreed as the child's parent; or (c) was court ordered to
support the child. To obtain this information, SSA uses Form SSA-2519,
Child Relationship Statement. The respondents are people with knowledge
of the relationship between certain individuals filing for Social
Security benefits and their alleged biological children.

collection.

3. Pre-1957 Military Service Federal Benefit Questionnaire--20 CFR
404.1301-404.1371--0960-0120. SSA may grant gratuitous military wage
credits for active military or naval service (under certain conditions)
during the period September 16, 1940 through December 31, 1956, if no
other Federal agency (other than the Veterans Administration) credited
the service for benefit eligibility or computation purposes. We use
Form SSA-2512 to collect specific information about other Federal,
military, or civilian benefits the wage earner may receive when the
applicant indicates both pre-1957 military service and the receipt of a
Federal benefit. SSA uses the data in the claims adjudication process
to grant gratuitous military wage credits when applicable, and to
solicit sufficient information to determine eligibility. Respondents
are applicants for Social Security benefits on a record where the wage
earner claims pre-1957 military service.

4. Authorization for the Social Security Administration to Obtain

416.207, 404.508, and 416.553--0960-0293. SSA collects and verifies
financial information from individuals applying for Title II and Title
XVI waiver determinations, as well as those who apply for, or currently
receive (in the case of redetermination), Supplemental Security Income
(SSI) payments. We require the financial information from these
applicants to: (1) Determine the eligibility of the applicant or
recipient for SSI benefits; or (2) determine if a request to waive a
Social Security overpayment defeats the purpose of the Act. If the
Title II and Title XVI waiver applicants, or the SSI claimants provide
incomplete, unavailable, or seemingly altered records, SSA contacts
their financial institutions to verify the existence, ownership, and
value of accounts owned. Financial institutions need individuals to
sign Form SSA-4641, or work with SSA staff to complete one of SSA's
electronic applications, e4641 or the Access to Financial Institutions
(AFI) screens, to authorize the individual's financial institution to
disclose records to SSA. The respondents are Title II and Title XVI
recipients applying for waivers, or SSI applicants, recipients, and
their deemors to determine SSI eligibility.

collection.

* This includes individuals completing the form to provide their authorization for purposes of determining SSI eligibility as well as individuals
providing their authorization for purposes of a waiver determination.
** This likely is an overestimate because individuals providing their authorization for purposes of a waiver determination may, alternatively, provide
their authorization using another form, the SSA-632, but we do not have readily-available MI on how many individuals use that form instead of the SSA-
4641.
*** We based this figure by averaging both the average DI payments based on SSA's current FY 2021 data (https://www.ssa.gov/legislation/2021FactSheet.pdf), and the average U.S. worker's hourly wages, as reported by Bureau of Labor Statistics data (https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes_nat.htm).

5. Vocational Rehabilitation Provider Claim--20 CFR 404.2101(a),
404.2108(b), 404.2117(c)(1)&(2), 404.2121(a), 416.2208(b),
416.2217(c)(1)&(2), 416.2201(a), and 416.2221(a)--0960-0310. State
vocational rehabilitation (VR) agencies submit Form SSA-199 to SSA to
obtain reimbursement of costs incurred for providing VR services. SSA
requires state VR agencies to submit reimbursement claims for the
following categories: (1) Claiming reimbursement for VR services
provided; (2) certifying adherence to cost containment policies and
procedures; and (3) preparing causality statements. The respondents
provide the information requested through a web-based Secure Ticket
Portal, in lieu of submitting forms. This Portal allows VRs to retrieve
reports, and enter and submit information electronically, minimizing
the use of the paper form to SSA for consideration and approval of the
claim for reimbursement of costs incurred for SSA beneficiaries. SSA
uses the information on the SSA-199, along with the written
documentation, to determine whether, and how much, to pay State VR
agencies under SSA's VR program. Respondents are State VR agencies
offering vocational and employment services to Social Security and SSI
recipients.

6. Request for Change in Time/Place of Disability Hearing--20 CFR
404.914(c)(2) and 416.1414(c)(2)--0960-0348. At the request of the
claimants or their representatives, SSA schedules evidentiary hearings
at the reconsideration level for claimants of Title II benefits or
Title XVI payments when we deny their claims for disability. When
claimants or their representatives find they are unable to attend the
scheduled hearing, they complete Form SSA-769 to request a change in
time or place of the hearing. SSA uses the information as a basis for
granting or denying requests for changes and for rescheduling
disability hearings. Respondents are claimants or their representatives
who wish to request a change in the time or place of their hearing.
Type of Request: Revision of an OMB-approved information
collection.

Reconsideration of Disability Cessation--20 CFR 404.907-404.921 and
416.1407-416.1421--0960-0351. When a claimant dies before we make a
determination on that person's request for reconsideration of a
disability cessation, SSA seeks a qualified substitute party to pursue
the appeal. If SSA locates a qualified substitute party, the agency
uses Form SSA-770 to collect information about whether to pursue or
withdraw the reconsideration request. We use this information as the
basis for the decision to continue or discontinue with the appeals
process. Respondents are substitute applicants who are pursuing a
reconsideration request for a deceased claimant.

8. 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 Act must notify SSA in writing when they
appoint an individual to represent them in dealing with SSA. In
addition, as part of SSA's regulations, SSA requires representatives
who are not attorneys to sign the written notice of appointment. SSA
does not require attorneys acting as representatives to sign the notice
of appointment. Respondents can use Form SSA-1696, or the submittable
electronic version, e1696, to appoint a representative to handle their
claim before SSA and name their principal representative, and their
selected representative(s) can use the SSA-1696 or e1696 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
or e1696 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. SSA uses the information on the SSA-1696 or e1696 to
document the appointment of the representative, and we recognize the
individual named in the notice of appointment the claimant signed and
filed at an SSA office, or through our submittable portal, as the
claimant's representative. We also use this form to collect the
representative's business affiliation and employment identification
number. In addition, respondents use the SSA-1696-SUP1 to revoke their
appointment of a representative, and representatives use the SSA-1696-
SUP2 to withdraw their acceptance of the appointment. SSA uses the
information on the SSA-1696-SUP1 and SSA-1696-SUP2 to document the
revocation and withdrawal of a representative. Respondents are
applicants for, or recipients of, Social Security disability benefits
(SSDI); SSI payments; or anyone pursuing a benefit or invoking a right
under SSA programs, who are notifying SSA they have appointed someone
to represent them in their dealings with SSA; any non-attorney
representatives who need to sign the form; as well as individuals
revoking their appointment of representative, and their
representatives' withdrawal of their acceptance of an appointment.

9. Work Incentives Planning and Assistance Program--0960-0629. As
part of SSA's strategy to assist SSDI beneficiaries and SSI recipients
who wish to return to work and achieve self-sufficiency, SSA
established the Work Incentives Planning and Assistance (WIPA) program.
This community based, work incentive, planning and assistance project
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. SSA uses Form SSA-
4565 (WIPA Intake Information) to collect data from SSDI beneficiaries
and SSI recipients on background employment, training, benefits, and
work incentives. CWIC use Form SSA-4566 (WIPA Notes) to create a case
note to record actions taken for a beneficiary. CWIC will use the WIPA
Star System which is a new management and reporting system that allows
the CWIC to: (1) Provide SSA with information provided on Form SSA-
4565, and additional information on beneficiaries served under the WIPA
program; (2) to manage their case notes for beneficiaries; and (3) to
collect additional information not collected on Forms SSA-4565 and SSA-
4566 which allows SSA to monitor WIPA grantee's performance and
progress. The respondents are SSDI beneficiaries, SSI recipients,
community project sites, and community work incentives coordinators.

10. Internet Direct Deposit Application--31 CFR 210--0960-0634. SSA
requires all applicants and recipients of Social Security Old Age,
Survivors, and Disability Insurance (OASDI) benefits, or SSI payments
to receive these benefits and payments via direct deposit, at a
financial institution. SSA receives Direct Deposit/Electronic Funds
Transfer (DD/EFT) enrollment information from OASDI beneficiaries and
SSI recipients to facilitate DD/EFT of their funds, with their chosen
financial institution. We also use this information when an enrolled
individual wishes to change their DD/EFT information. For the
convenience of the respondents, we collect this information through
several modalities, including an internet application, in-office or
telephone interviews, and our automated telephone system. In addition
to using the direct deposit information to enable DD/EFT of funds to
the recipient's chosen financial institution, we also use the
information through our Direct Deposit Fraud Indicator, to ensure the
correct recipient receives the funds. Respondents are OASDI
beneficiaries and SSI recipients requesting that we enroll them in the
Direct Deposit program, or change their direct deposit banking
information.

11. International Direct Deposit--31 CFR 210--0960-0686. SSA's
International Direct Deposit (IDD) Program allows beneficiaries living
abroad to receive their payments via direct deposit to an account at a
financial institution outside the United States. SSA uses Form SSA-
1199-(Country) to enroll Title II beneficiaries residing abroad in IDD,
and to obtain the direct deposit information for foreign accounts.
Routing account number information varies slightly for each foreign
country, so we use a variation of the Treasury Department's Form SF-
1199A for each country. The respondents are Social Security
beneficiaries residing abroad who want SSA to deposit their Title II
benefit payments directly to a foreign financial institution.

12. Request for Reinstatement (Title XVI)--20 CFR 416.999-
416.999d--0960-0744. SSA uses Form SSA-372 to: (1) Inform previously
entitled beneficiaries of the expedited reinstatement (EXR)
requirements of SSI payments under Title XVI of the Act; and (2)
document their requests for EXR. SSA requires this application for
reinstatement of benefits for respondents to obtain SSI disability
payments for EXR. When an SSA claims representative learns of
individuals whose medical conditions no longer permit them to perform
substantial gainful activity as defined in the Act, the claims
representative gives the form to the previously entitled individuals
(or mails it to those who request EXR over the phone). SSA employees
collect this information whenever an individual files for EXR benefits.
The respondents are applicants for EXR of SSI disability payments.
