###### Social Security Administration

The Social Security Administration (SSA) publishes a list of information collection packages that will require clearance by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in compliance with Pub. L. 104-13, the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, effective October 1, 1995. The information collection package included in this notice is for full clearance of an existing collection currently approved by OMB on an emergency basis. 

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 on ways to minimize burden on respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology. Written comments and recommendations regarding the information collection(s) should be submitted to the OMB Desk Officer and the SSA Reports Clearance Officer. The information can be mailed, faxed, or e-mailed to the individuals at the addresses and fax numbers listed below:

*SSA Guidance for Use of the Tax Information Authorization Form—0960-0738.*                     The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Form 8821 is used by taxpayers to authorize the release of tax information to a third party. The IRS agrees that a properly completed IRS Form 8821 is an appropriate means of designating the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to receive the tax information of a Medicare Part B beneficiary who has appealed a determination of Income-Related Monthly Adjustment Amount (IRMAA).                           ( print page 15176)                        Specifically, Medicare Part B beneficiaries who wish to appeal SSA's reconsideration of their IRMAA amounts will be sent a copy of the HA-501 (Request for Hearing by an Administrative Law Judge) and with it the IRS Form 8821, which will enable beneficiaries to authorize disclosure of their relevant beneficiary tax data to HHS for use in conducting the appeals hearing. The respondents are Medicare Part B beneficiaries who want to request an appeal of their IRMAA amount.                 

*Type of Request:*                     Request for full approval for a collection already cleared under OMB emergency clearance procedures.                 

*Number of Respondents:*                     6,000.                 

*Frequency of Response:*                     1.                 

*Average Burden per Response:*                     15 minutes.                 

*Estimated Annual Burden:*                     1,500 hours.
