SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION 

[Docket No. SSA–2010–0081] 

Rate for Assessment on Direct 

Payment Fees to Representatives in 

2011 

AGENCY: Social Security Administration 

(SSA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: We are announcing that the 

assessment percentage rate under 

sections 206(d) and 1631(d)(2)(C) of the 

Social Security Act (Act), 42 U.S.C. 406 

(d), and 1383(d)(2)(C), is 6.3 percent for

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

406 of Public Law 106–170, the Ticket 

to Work and Work Incentives 

Improvement Act of 1999, established 

an assessment for the services we must 

perform to determine and certify 

payments to attorneys from the benefits 

due claimants under Title II of the Act. 

This provision is codified in section 

206(d) of the Act (42 U.S.C. 406(d)). 

That legislation set the assessment for 

the calendar year 2000 at 6.3 percent of 

the amount that would be required to be 

certified for direct payment to the 

attorney under sections 206(a)(4) or 

206(b)(1) of the Act before the 

application of the assessment. For 

subsequent years, the legislation 

requires us to determine the percentage 

rate necessary to achieve full recovery of 

the costs of determining and certifying 

fees to attorneys, but not in excess of 6.3 

percent. In Public Law 108–203, the 

Social Security Protection Act of 2004 

(SSPA), Congress also imposed a dollar 

cap on the amount of the assessment so 

that the assessment may not exceed the 

lesser of that dollar cap or the amount 

determined using the assessment 

percentage rate. That dollar cap is 

subject to annual adjustment and 

remains at the current rate of $83, as 

announced in the Federal Register on 

November 30, 2010, at 75 FR 74123. 

Beginning in 2005, sections 302 and 

303 of the SSPA temporarily extended 

the direct payment of fees to attorneys 

in cases under Title XVI of the Act and 

to eligible non-attorney representatives 

in cases under Title II and Title XVI of 

the Act. Those provisions were made 

permanent by Public Law 111–142, the 

Social Security Disability Applicants’ 

Access to Professional Representation 

Act of 2010. Fees directly paid under 

these provisions are also subject to the 

assessment. 

Based on the best available data, we 

have determined that the current rate of 

6.3 percent will continue for 2011. We 

will continue to review our costs for 

these services on a yearly basis. 

Dated: December 17, 2010.

Deputy Commissioner for Budget, Finance 

and Management.

page 58014. The FAA requires that 

certain performance information be 

provided in the Rotorcraft Flight 

Manual in order to show compliance to

Title: Performance and Handling 

Requirements for Rotorcraft. 

Form Numbers: There are no FAA 

forms associated with this collection. 

Type of Review: Renewal of an

show compliance to specific minimum 

requirements. In order to show 

compliance, an applicant must 

substantiate the type design through 

analysis, testing, design limitations, and 

other acceptable means. This 

substantiation requires that certain 

performance information for safe 

operation of the rotorcraft be presented, 

in the form of tables, diagrams, or 

charts, in the flight manual. FAA 

engineers and designated engineers 

review the required data submittals to 

determine that the rotorcraft complies 

with the minimum safety requirements 

for rotorcraft performance and that the 

rotorcraft has no unsafe features. 

Respondents: Approximately 4 

normal or transport category rotorcraft 

certification applicants. 

Frequency: Information is collected
