categories: (1) Entitled individuals who engage in remunerative
activity outside of the United States in excess of 45 hours a month and

Social Security benefits; (2) correct benefit amounts for beneficiaries
outside the United States, and (3) monitor the performance of
representative payees outside the United States. The respondents are
individuals living outside the United States who are receiving benefits
on their own (or for someone else) under title II of the Act.

2. Cost Reimbursable Research Request--20 CFR 401.165--0960-0754.
Qualified researchers need SSA administrative data for a variety of
projects. To request SSA's program data for research, we require the
researcher to submit a completed research application, Form SSA-9901
(How to Request SSA Program Data for Research) for SSA's evaluation. In
the application, the requesting researcher provides basic project
information and describes the way in which the proposed project will
further SSA's mission to promote the economic security of the Nation's
people through its administration of the Old Age, Survivors, and
Disability Insurance programs, or the Supplemental Security Income
program. SSA reviews the application, and once we approve it, the
researcher signs Form SSA-9903 (SSA Agreement Regarding Conditions for
Use of SSA Data), which outlines the conditions and safeguards for the
research project data exchange. The researcher may only use the data
for research and statistical purposes and we require them to complete
Form SSA-9902 (Confidentiality Agreement). SSA recovers all expenses
incurred in providing this information as part of this reimbursable
service. The respondents are Federal and State
[[Page 24462]]
government agencies or their contractors, private entities, and
colleges and universities.
Type of Request: Revision of an OMB-approved information
collection.

Government-to-Government Services Online Web site Account Modification/
Deletion Form--20 CFR 401.45--0960-0757. The Government-to-Government
Services Online (GSO) Web site allows various external organizations to
submit files to a variety of SSA systems and, in some cases, receive
return files. The users include State and local government agencies,
other Federal agencies, and some private sector business entities. The
SSA systems that process data transferred via GSO include, but are not
limited to, systems responsible for disability processing and benefit
determination or termination. SSA uses the information on Form SSA-159
(GSO Web site Registration Form) to maintain the identity of the
requestor within GSO. The organization can also modify its online
account (e.g., address change) by completing Form SSA-160 (GSO Web site
Account Modification/Deletion Form). Respondents are State and local
government agencies, and private sector businesses.
Type of Request: Revision of an OMB-approved information
