The Social Security Administration (SSA) publishes a list of
information collection packages requiring clearance by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) in compliance with Public Law 104-13, the

includes a revision of an OMB-approved information collection.
SSA is soliciting comments on the accuracy of the agency's burden
estimate; the need for the information; its practical utility; ways to
enhance its quality, utility, and clarity; and ways to minimize burden
on respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology. Mail, email, or fax your
comments and recommendations on the information collection(s) to the
OMB Desk Officer and SSA Reports Clearance Officer at the following
addresses or fax numbers.
(OMB), Office of Management and Budget, Attn: Desk Officer for SSA,

The information collection below is pending at SSA. SSA will submit
it to OMB within 60 days from the date of this notice. To be sure we
consider your comments, we must receive them no later than August 22,
2014. Individuals can obtain copies of the collection instrument by

Electronic Records Express--20 CFR 404.1512 and 416.912--0960-0753
Electronic Records Express (ERE) is a web-based SSA program that
allows medical and educational providers to electronically submit
disability claimant data to SSA. Both medical providers and other third
parties with connections to disability applicants or recipients (e.g.,
teachers and school administrators for child disability applicants) use
this system once they complete the registration process. SSA employees
and State agency employees request the medical and educational records
collected through the ERE Web site. The agency uses the information
collected through ERE to make a determination on an Application for
Benefits. We also use the ERE Web site to order and receive
consultative examinations when we are unable to collect enough medical
records to determine disability findings. The respondents are medical
providers who evaluate or treat disability claimants or recipients, and
other third parties with connections to disability applicants or
recipients (ex: Teachers and school administrators for child disability
applicants), who voluntarily choose to use ERE for submitting
information.
Type of Request: Revision of an OMB-approved information
collection.
