SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION
Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Request and
Comment Request
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
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, effective October 1, 1995. This notice
includes revisions of OMB-approved information collections.
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,
Fax: 202-395-6974, Email address: [email protected].

Clearance Director, 107 Altmeyer Building, 6401 Security Blvd.,

[email protected].
I. 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
sure we consider your comments, we must receive them no later than
November 12, 2013. Individuals can obtain copies of the collection
instruments by writing to the above email address.
1. Agreement to Sell Property--20 CFR 416.1240--416.1245--0960-
0127. Individuals or couples who are otherwise eligible for
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments but whose resources exceed
the allowable limit may receive conditional payments if they agree to
dispose of the excess non-liquid resources and make repayments. SSA
uses Form SSA-8060-U3 to document this agreement, and to ensure the
individuals understand their
[[Page 56266]]
obligations. Respondents are applicants for and recipients of SSI
payments who will be disposing of excess non-liquid resources.
Type of Request: Revision of an OMB-approved information
collection.

2. Epidemiological Research Report--20 CFR 401.165--0960-0701.
Section 311 of the Social Security Independence and Program
Improvements Act of 1994 directs SSA to support health researchers
involved in epidemiological research. Specifically, when we determine a
study contributes to a national health interest, SSA furnishes
information to determine if a study subject appears in SSA
administrative records as alive or deceased (vital status). SSA charges
a small fee per request for providing this information. Web-posted
questions solicit the information SSA needs to provide the data and to
collect the fees. The respondents are qualified health and scientific
researchers who are applying to receive vital status information about
individuals from Social Security administrative data records.
Type of Request: Revision of an OMB-approved information
collection.

II. SSA submitted the information collection below to OMB for
clearance. Your comments regarding the information collection 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 October 15, 2013. Individuals can obtain copies of the
OMB clearance package by writing to [email protected].
Disability Report--Child--20 CFR 416.912--0960-0577. Sections
223(d)(5)(A) and 1631(e)(1) of the Social Security Act (Act) require
SSI claimants to furnish medical and other evidence to prove they are
disabled. SSA uses Form SSA-3820 to collect various types of
information about a child's condition from treating sources or other
medical sources of evidence. State Disability Determination Services
evaluators use the information from Form SSA-3820 to develop medical
and school evidence, and to assess the alleged disability. The
information, together with medical evidence, forms the evidentiary
basis upon which SSA makes its initial disability evaluation. The
respondents are claimants seeking SSI childhood disability payments.
Type of Request: Revision of an OMB-approved information
collection.
