10 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6). Pursuant to Rule 19b–

4(f)(6)(iii) under the Act, the Exchange is required 

to give the Commission written notice of its intent 

to file the proposed rule change, along with a brief 

description and text of the proposed rule change, 

at least five business days prior to the date of filing 

of the proposed rule change, or such shorter time 

as designated by the Commission. The Exchange 

has requested that the Commission waive the 5-day 

pre-filing notice requirement. The Commission has 

determined to waive this requirement to allow the 

Exchange to file its proposal to extend the 

Moratorium, which expires on December 31, 2007, 

without delay. 

11 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6). 

12 17 CFR 240.19b–4(f)(6)(iii). 

13For purposes only of waiving the 30-day 

operative delay, the Commission has considered the 

proposed rule’s impact on efficiency, competition, 

and capital formation. 15 U.S.C. 78c(f). 14 17 CFR 200.30–3(a)(12). 

19(b)(3)(A) of the Act 9 and Rule 19b–

4(f)(6) thereunder.10

A proposed rule change filed 

pursuant to Rule 19b–4(f)(6) under the 

Act 11 normally does not become 

operative for 30 days after the date of its 

filing. However, Rule 19b–4(f)(6)(iii) 12

permits the Commission to designate a 

shorter time if such action is consistent 

with the protection of investors and the 

public interest. The NYSE has requested 

that the Commission waive the 30-day 

operative delay. The Commission 

believes that waiving the 30-day 

operative delay is consistent with the 

protection of investors and the public 

interest because it would allow the 

Moratorium to continue without 

interruption so that the Exchange may 

have additional time to make a final 

determination as to the future roles of 

RCMMs and CTs in the Hybrid Market, 

if any, and to file with the Commission 

a proposed rule change outlining such 

roles. For these reasons, the 

Commission designates that the 

proposed rule change become operative 

immediately.13

At any time within 60 days of the 

filing of the proposed rule change, the 

Commission may summarily abrogate 

the rule change if it appears to the 

Commission that such action is 

necessary or appropriate in the public 

interest, for the protection of investors, 

or otherwise in furtherance of the 

purposes of the Act. 

IV. Solicitation of Comments 

Interested persons are invited to 

submit written data, views and 

arguments concerning the foregoing, 

including whether the proposed rule 

change is consistent with the Act. 

Comments may be submitted by any of 

the following methods:

1. Function Report—Adult—Third 

Party—20 CFR 404.1512, 416.912—

0960–0635. The information collected 

on the SSA–3380–BK is needed to make 

determinations on Supplemental 

Security Income (SSI) and Social 

Security disability (SSDI) claims. This 

information is necessary for case 

development and adjudication, and is 

used by State Disability Determination 

Services (DDS) evaluators as an 

evidentiary source used in the disability 

evaluation process. The respondents are 

third parties familiar with the functional 

limitations (or lack thereof) of claimants 

who apply for SSDI benefits and SSI 

payments. 

Type of Request: Revision of an OMBapproved information collection.

2. Function Report—Adult—20 CFR 

404.1512 and 419.912—0960–0681. 

Form SSA–3373 is used to collect 

information about a disability 

applicant’s impairment-related 

limitations and ability to function. It 

documents the types of information 

specified in SSA regulations and 

provides disability interviewers with a 

convenient means to record information 

about how the claimant’s condition 

affects his or her ability to function. 

This information, together with medical 

evidence, forms the evidentiary basis 

upon which the initial disability process 

is founded. The respondents are SSDI 

and SSI applicants.

416.1024, 416.1014—0960–0555. The 

State DDS’s collect certain information 

to administer the SSDI and SSI 

programs. They collect information from 

medical sources on consultative 

examination (CE) medical evidence, CE 

credentials and Medical Evidence of 

Record (MER). The DDS’s collect 

information from claimants regarding 

medical appointments and pain/ 

symptoms. The respondents are medical 

providers, other sources of MER and 

disability claimants.

4. Social Security Number (SSN) 

Verification Services—20 CFR 401.45—

0960–0660. Under Internal Revenue 

Service regulations employers are 

obligated to provide wage and tax data 

to the SSA using Form W–2 or its 

electronic equivalent. As part of this 

process the employer must furnish the 

employee’s name and their SSN. The 

employee’s name and SSN must match 

SSA’s records in order for the 

employee’s earnings to be properly 

posted to their Earnings Record, which 

is maintained by SSA. 

In order to better assure that 

employers provide accurate employee 

name and SSN data that match SSA’s 

records, SSA offers serveral cost-free 

methods for employers to verify the 

information, as follows: (1) Internetbased service, known as the Social 

Secuirty Number Verification Service 

(SSNVS), where the employer can verify 

if the reported names and SSNs of their 

employees matches SSA’s records; (2) 

the Employee Verification Service 

(EVS), where employers can verify, via 

cartridge, diskette, paper and telephone 

if the reported name and SSN of their 

employees matches SSA’s records; (3) 

through our National 800 Number SSA, 

which is introducing an automated 

telephone employee verification service 

(TNEV) that will allow callers, who 

have been authenicated and have a pin 

and password to use for this process, to 

verify employee’s names and SSNs 

through the telephone system.

5. Agreement to Sell Property—20 

CFR 416.1240–1245—0960–0127. 

Individuals or couples who are 

otherwise eligible for SSI benefits but 

whose resources exceed the allowable 

limit may receive conditional payments 

if they agree to dispose of the excess 

non-liquid resources and make 

repayment. Form SSA–8060 is used to 

document this agreement and to ensure 

that the individuals understand their 

obligations. Respondents are applicants 

and recipients of SSI benefits who will 

be disposing of excess non-liquid 

resources. 

Type of Request: Extension of an 

OMB-approved information collection.

6. Listing of Impairments—Part 404, 

Subpart P, Appendix I and II—0960–

0642. 

Background 

The Listing of Impairments (the 

listings), part 404, subpart P, appendix 

I and II, describes for each of the major 

body systems, impairments which are 

severe enough to prevent a person from 

doing any gainful activity. As part of the 

listings, we provide a preface which 

identifies specific requirements that 

affect the body system, such as 

documentation requirements and other 

factors which must be considered when 

evaluating impairments within that 

body system. These can include 

requirements which include medical 

and other evidence. This clearance 

request covers sections in parts A and 

B. 

The Information Collection 

The medical evidence documentation 

described in the listings is used by State 

DDS’s to assess the alleged disability. 

The information, together with other 

evidence, is used to determine if an 

individual claiming disability benefits 

has an impairment that meets severity 

and duration requirements. The 

respondents are disability applicants 

and other sources of evidence. The 

public reporting burden is accounted for 

in the Information Collection Requests 

(ICR) for the various forms that the 

public uses to submit the information to 

SSA. Consequently, we are reporting no 


pwalker on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES
1256 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 4 / Monday, January 7, 2008 / Notices 

burden for this regulation aside from a 

1-hour placeholder burden. 

Type of Request: Extension of an 

OMB-approved information collection. 

7. Reporting Events—SSI—20 CFR 

416.701–.732—0960–0128. The Social 

Security Act and regulations requires 

SSA to collection information to 

determine eligibility for SSI payments 

and to determine the correct payment 

amount. SSA periodically requests 

information from recipients to 

reevaluate their continuing SSI 

eligibility and payment amount using 

form SSA–8150–EV. Form SSA–8150–

EV informs recipients of the information 

that needs to be reported to SSA in 

order to retain their benefits. Form 

SSA–8150–EV provides recipients with 

a means of reporting changes in their 

circumstances in writing. SSA uses the 

reported changes to determine SSI 

eligibility and correct payment amounts. 

Type of Request: Extension of an 

approved OMB information collection. 

Number of Respondents: 27,320. 

Frequency of Response: 1. 

Average Burden per Response: 5 

minutes. 

Estimated Annual Burden: 2,277 

hours. 

II. The information collections listed 

below have been submitted to OMB for 

clearance. Your comments on the 

information collections would be most 

useful if received by OMB and SSA 

within 30 days from the date of this 

publication. You can obtain a copy of 

the OMB clearance packages by calling 

the SSA Reports Clearance Officer at 

410–965–0454, or by writing to the 

address listed above. 

1. Advanced Notice of Termination of 

Child’s Benefits & Student’s Statement 

Regarding School Attendance—20 CFR 

404.350–404.352, 404.367–404.368—

0960–0105. The information collected 

on Forms SSA–1372–BK and SSA–

1372–BK–FC is needed to determine 

whether children of an insured worker 

are eligible for student benefits. The 

respondents are student claimants for 

Social Security benefits, their respective 

schools and, in some cases, their 

representative payees.

2. Authorization to Disclose 

Information to SSA—20 CFR 404.1512 & 

20 CFR 416.912—0960–0623. SSA must 

obtain sufficient medical evidence to 

make eligibility determinations for SSDI 

benefits and 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 one of the 

forms SSA–827, SSA–827–OP1 or SSA–

827–OP2 to provide consent for the 

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). 

Type of Request: Revision of a 

currently approved information 

collection. 

Number of Respondents: 3,853,928. 

Frequency of Response (Average per 

case): 4. 

Total Annual Responses: 15,415,712.

3. Acknowledgement of Receipt 

(Notice of Hearing)—20 CFR 404.938 & 

416.1438—0960–0671. The HA–504 and 

HA–504–OP1 are used to acknowledge 

receipt of the notice of hearing issued by 

an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ). The 

ALJ uses the information collected on 

the HA–504 and HA–504–OP1 to: (1) 

Prepare for the hearing as scheduled; or 

(2) reschedule the hearing to a different 

date and/or location. The respondents 

are applicants for Social Security 

benefits or SSI payments who request a 

hearing to appeal an unfavorable 

entitlement or eligibility determination.

Correction Notice: In the notice 

published on October 18, 2007 at 75 FR 

59132 we inadvertently labeled this ICR 

as an extension. It is, in fact, a revision 

in order to reflect both versions of the 

form HA–504. Also, we are correcting 

the burden data from 660,000

4. Request for Waiver of Special 

Veterans Benefits (SVB) Overpayment 

Recovery or Change in Repayment 

Rate—20 CFR 408.900–408.950, 

408.923(b), 408.931(b), 408.932(c), (d) 

and (e), 408.941(b) and 408.942—0960–

0698. Title VIII allows the payment of 

a monthly benefit by the Commissioner 

of Social Security to a qualified World 

War II veteran who resides outside the 

United States. When an overpayment in 

SVB occurs, the beneficiary can use this 

form to request waiver of recovery of the 

overpayment or a change in the 

repayment rate. The SSA–2032–BK will 

be used to obtain the information 

necessary to determine whether the 

provisions of the Act regarding waiver 

of recovery of the overpayment are met. 

The information on the form is needed 

to determine a repayment rate if 

repayment cannot be waived. 

Respondents are beneficiaries who have 

overpayments on their Title VIII record 

and wish to file a claim for waiver of 

recovery or change in repayment rate. 

Type of Request: Extension of an 

OMB-approved information collection. 

Number of Respondents: 450. 

Frequency of Response: 1. 

Average Burden per Response: 120

Total Annual Burden: 900 hours. 

Correction Notice: We are correcting 

information published on September 20, 

2007 at 72 FR 53803 and on November 

5, 2007 at 72 FR 62510 to show updated 

burden information. We changed the 

number of respondents from 39 to 450 

and the burden hours from 78 to 900 

hours. 

5. Request for Medical Treatment in 

an SSA Employee Health Facility: 

Patient Self-Administered or Staff 

Administered Care—0960–NEW. SSA 

operates Employee Health Clinics onsite 

in eight different states. These clinics 

provide health care for all SSA 

employees including treatment of 

personal medical conditions when 

authorized by a physician. The SSA–

5072 is the employee’s personal 

physician’s order form. The information 

collected on the SSA–5072 gives the 

nurses the guidance they need by law to 

perform certain medical procedures and 

to administer prescription medications 

such as allergy immunotherapy. Also, 

the information collected by the SSA–

5072 allows the SSA Medical Officer to 

determine whether the treatment can be 

administered safely and appropriately 

in the SSA Employee Health Units. Each 

State has a Nurse Practice Act governing 

the practice of registered nurses in the 

State. All Nurse Practice Acts require 

that registered nurses administer 

prescription medications and certain 

medical treatments by following a 

licensed physician’s orders. Form SSA–

5072 provides the vehicle for the 

physician to provide these orders to the 

SSA nursing staff. Respondents are 

physicians of SSA employees who need 

to have medical treatment in the SSA 

Employee Health Unit.

6. Sheltered Workshop Wage 

Reporting—0960–NEW. 

Collection Background 

Section 1612(1)(C) of the Social 

Security Act (the Act) and 42 U.S.C. 

1382a define remuneration received for 

services performed in a sheltered 

workshop as earned income for the SSI 

program. The amount of monthly wages 

determines an individual’s SSI benefit 

amount. 

Collection Description 

SSA has maintained a working 

relationship with sheltered workshops 

since the inception of the SSI program. 

Most workshops report monthly wage 

totals to the local SSA office so that the 

client’s SSI check is adjusted timely and 

overpayments are prevented. While 

participation of the workshop is strictly 

voluntary, they are highly motivated to 

report the wages because it provides a 

service to their clients. Sheltered 

Workshop reporting reduces the number 

of overpayments to SSI recipients. 

Processing these wage reports 

electronically reduces the cost of 

administering the program. SSA uses 

the information collected to verify and 

post monthly wages to the SSI 

recipient’s record. Respondents are 

sheltered workshops that report 

monthly wages for services performed 

in the workshop.
