Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 60 / Thursday, March 29, 2007 / Notices 14847 

Type of Request: Extension of an 

OMB-approved information collection. 

Number of Respondents: 47,500. 

Frequency of Response: 1. 

Average Burden per Response: 10 

minutes. 

Estimated Annual Burden: 7,917 

hours. 

2. Authorization To Disclose 

Information to the Social Security 

Administration—20 CFR Subpart O, 

404.1512 and Subpart I, 416.912—0960–

0623. SSA must obtain sufficient 

medical evidence to make eligibility 

determinations for the SSDI benefits and 

Supplemental Security Income (SSI) 

payments. For SSA to obtain medical 

evidence, an applicant must authorize 

his or her medical source(s) to release 

the information to SSA. The applicant 

may use form SSA–827 to provide 

consent for release of information. 

Generally, the State DDS completes the 

form(s) based on information provided 

by the applicant, and sends the form(s) 

to the designated medical source(s). The 

respondents are applicants for SSDI and 

SSI payments. 

Type of Request: Revision of an OMBapproved information collection. 

Number of Respondents: 3,853,928. 

Frequency of Response: 1 (Average 

forms per case 4). 

Average Burden per Response: *13 

minutes. 

Total Annual Responses: 15,415,712. 

Estimated Annual Burden: 835,018 

hours. 

*Please Note: Respondents to the SSA–827 

collection complete a total four forms. SSA 

estimates that it takes a claimant 10 minutes 

to read both sides and sign the initial SSA–

827. However, once a claimant reads the first 

form, it takes considerably less time to date 

and sign the subsequent forms because the 

forms do not have to be read again. SSA 

estimates the signing and dating of the three 

additional forms at one minute per form, 

resulting in three additional minutes. 

Therefore, the total time it takes to complete 

all four SSA–827’s is 13 minutes. 

3. Prisoner Matching Agreements—20 

CFR 404.468 and 20 CFR 416.211 

—0960–NEW. 

Collection Background 

Section 202(x) of the Social Security 

Act (the Act) and regulations at 20 CFR 

404.468 preclude a person from 

receiving a benefit under title II for any 

month during which such individual is 

confined in a jail, prison, or other penal 

institution or correctional facility 

pursuant to his conviction of a criminal 

offense or because he/she is not-guilty 

by reason of insanity. Accordingly, 

Section 1611(e) of the Social Security 

Act and regulations at 20 CFR 416.211, 

provide that no person shall be an 

eligible individual or eligible spouse for 

title XVI with respect to any month if 

throughout such month he is an inmate 

of a public institution. 

Prisoner Matching Collection Activity 

To enforce these provisions of the 

Act, SSA has entered into agreements 

with the Federal Bureau of Prisons, 

along with State and local correctional 

facilities and certain mental health 

institutions, to submit monthly prisoner 

reports to SSA. SSA matches these 

reports against our files to identify 

incarcerated individuals receiving 

Social Security and Supplemental 

Security Income (SSI) payments and 

take action to suspend their payments. 

SSA uses the reports of confinement as 

the basis for stopping payments under 

titles II & XVI. The respondents to the 

collection are State and local 

correctional facilities, the Federal 

Bureau of Prisons and certain mental 

health institutions that have entered 

into prisoner matching agreements with 

SSA. 

Type of Request: Collection in use 

without OMB Control Number. 

Number of Respondents: 3,000. 

Frequency of Response: 12. 

Average Burden per Response: 60 

minutes. 

Estimated Annual Burden: 36,000 

hours. 

4. Fugitive Felon Matching 

Agreements—20 CFR 404.471 and 

416.1339—0960–NEW. 

Collection Background 

Sections 202(x) and 1611(e)(4) of the 

Social Security Act provides that a 

person may not receive a benefit under 

title II and will not be eligible under 

title XVI for any month he or she is 

avoiding prosecution for a felony, is 

avoiding confinement or conviction of a 

felony, or is violating a condition of 

probation or parole. In jurisdictions that 

do not define crimes as felonies this 

nonpayment/ineligibility applies to any 

crime that is punishable by death or 

imprisonment for more than one year, 

regardless of the actual sentence 

imposed. 

Fugitive Felon Matching Collection 

Activity 

To enforce these provisions of the 

Act, SSA has entered agreements with 

the FBI’s National Crime Information 

Center (NCIC), the U.S. Marshall 

Service, 21 individual States, 

Washington DC, and four metropolitan 

law enforcement agencies under which 

these law enforcement agencies submit 

outstanding felony and parole/probation 

violator warrants to SSA. SSA uses the 

reports of outstanding warrants as the 

basis for stopping payments under titles 

II & XVI. The respondents to the 

collection are the Federal, State and 

local law enforcement agencies that 

have entered into Fugitive Felon 

matching agreements with SSA. 

Type of Request: Collection in use 

without OMB Control Number. 

Number of Respondents: 28. 

Frequency of Response: * 7. 

Average Burden per Response: 60 

minutes. 

Estimated Annual Burden: 196 hours. 

*Please Note: Seven responses per 

respondent is the average frequency of 

reporting. The actual response rate per 

respondent varies based on the individual 

need to report.
