SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION

Agency Information Collection

Activities; Request for Emergency

Review by the Office of Management

and Budget

The Social Security Administration

publishes a list of information collection

packages that will require clearance by

OMB in compliance with P.L. 104–13

effective October 1, 1995, the Paperwork

Reduction Act of 1995. The information

collections listed below have been

submitted to OMB for emergency

clearance. OMB approval has been

requested by December 29, 1997:

1. 0960-NEW. The Social Security

Administration (SSA) is piloting

disability redesign models, one of which

is the Full Process Model (FPM). A key

element of the FPM is the predecision

interview (PDI) which gives claimants

about to be denied disability benefits

the opportunity to speak directly with

the decision maker and/or submit

additional medical evidence before a

final decision is made. In the first 8

months of the pilot, SSA has found that

only about half the applicants respond

to the letter. SSA is concerned that

applicants may not understand the

letter, so it is proposing to conduct a

survey to determine the reasons

individuals are not responding. The

respondents are a random sample of

title II and title XVI applicants who

have recently received a PDI letter.

Number of respondents: 500.

Frequency of Response: 1.

Average Burden Per Response: 5

minutes.

Estimated Annual Burden: 42 hours.

To receive a copy of the form or

clearance packages, call the SSA

Reports Clearance Officer on (410) 965–

4125 or write to him at the address

listed below. Written comments and

recommendations regarding the

information collection(s) should be

directed to the OMB Desk Officer and

SSA Reports Clearance Officer at the

following addresses:

Background: The United States

A preliminary draft of the UNIDROIT

Convention will be submitted to the

UNIDROIT Governing Council in early

1998. Thereafter, it is expected that the

draft will be circulated to States to

determine whether to proceed to

intergovernmental negotiations to

conclude the Convention.

As proposed, the UNIDROIT

Convention would not take effect unless

a protocol has been adopted for a

specific category of mobile objects. In

that regard, UNIDROIT’s Aircraft

Equipment Protocol Group has

completed a preliminary draft protocol
