decedent’s demographic information 

including the SSN into the EDR system. 

The system will verify the SSN online 

in real time and creates an electronic 

death certificate as well as a fact of 

death report. The States have agreed 

that the on-line verification of the SSN 

at the first point of collection in the 

registration process will satisfy the 

requirement to independently verify the 

SSN.

EDR reduces the processing time 

needed to register deaths and greatly 

improves the business practices of the 

various participants in death 

registration process. EDR will result in 

the State’s ability to send SSA the report 

with a verified SSN within 5 days of the 

date of death and within 24 hours of 

receipt in the State repository. SSA is 

using a phased-in approach to EDR. 

When fully implemented, SSA will save 

significant program dollars and work 

years annually. The respondents are the 

SBVS.

III. Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Emergency Consideration 

Request. In compliance with Public Law 

104–13, the Paperwork Reduction Act of 

1995, SSA is providing notice that it is 

submitting to OMB information 

collections for emergency consideration. 

SSA is revising these forms as a result 

of the Social Security Protection Act of 

2004. SSA is requesting emergency 

consideration from OMB by January 10, 

2005 of the information collections 

listed below. Therefore, comments 

should be submitted to OMB and SSA 

by that date. 

1. Petition To Obtain Approval Of A 

Fee For Representing A Claimant Before 

the Social Security Administration—20 

CFR Subpart R, 404.1720, 404.1725; 

Subpart F, 410.686b; Subpart O, 

416.1520 and 416.1525—0960–0104. A 

representative of a claimant for Social 

Security benefits must file either a fee 

petition or a fee agreement with SSA in 

order to charge a fee for representing a 

claimant in proceedings before SSA. 

The representative uses form SSA–

1560–U4 to petition SSA for 

authorization to charge and collect a fee. 

A claimant may also use the form to 

agree or disagree with the requested fee 

amount or other information the 

representative provides on the form. 

SSA uses the information to determine 

a reasonable fee that a representative 

may charge and collect for his or her 

services. The respondents are claimants, 

their attorneys and other persons 

representing them. 

Type of Request: Emergency. 

Number of Respondents: 34,624. 

Frequency of Response: 1. 

Average Burden Per Response: 30 

minutes. 

Estimated Annual Burden: 17,312 

hours. 

2. Appointment of Representation—

20 CFR 404.1707, 404.1720, 404.1725, 

410.684 and 416.1507—0960–0527. The 

information collected by SSA on form 

SSA–1696–U4 is used to verify the 

applicant’s appointment of a 

representative. It allows SSA to inform 

the representative of items which affect 

the applicant’s claim. The affected 

public consists of applicants who notify 

SSA that they have appointed a person 

to represent them in their dealings with 

SSA when claiming a right to benefits. 

Type of Request: Emergency. 

Number of Respondents: 551,520. 

Frequency of Response: 1. 

Average Burden Per Response: 10 

minutes. 

Estimated Annual Burden: 91,920
