improvements to the delivery process, 

consistent with market feedback, recent 

changes to relevant IFEU rules and other 

similar futures contracts, such as the 

ICE Futures US Coffee Futures Contract. 

The changes thus facilitate prompt and 

accurate clearance and settlement of the 

Robusta Coffee Futures Contracts. 

In addition, Rule 17Ad–22(e)(10) 5

requires that each covered clearing 

agency establish, implement, maintain 

and enforce written policies and 

procedures reasonably designed to 

establish and maintain written 

standards that state its obligations with 

respect to the delivery of physical 

instruments. As discussed above, ICE 

Clear Europe is updating its Delivery 

Procedures to reflect the shortened 

delivery period, to remove the ‘‘Early 

Take Up’’ concept which is no longer 

necessary in light of that shorter period, 

and to make certain other clarifications 

and updates, consistent with the 

delivery terms set out in the IFEU 

contract specifications. 

(B) Clearing Agency’s Statement on 

Burden on Competition 

ICE Clear Europe does not believe the 

proposed rule changes would have any 

impact, or impose any burden, on 

competition not necessary or 

appropriate in furtherance of the 

purposes of the Act. The changes are 

being proposed in order to update the 

Delivery Procedures for the IFEU 

Robusta Coffee Futures Contract 

specifications, as discussed above. ICE 

Clear Europe does not believe the 

amendments would adversely affect 

Clearing Members, materially affect the 

cost of clearing, adversely affect access 

to clearing in Robusta Coffee Futures 

Contract for Clearing Members or their 

customers, or otherwise adversely affect 

competition in clearing services. 

Accordingly, ICE Clear Europe does not 

believe that the amendments would 

impose any impact or burden on 

competition that is not appropriate in 

furtherance of the purpose of the Act. 

(C) Clearing Agency’s Statement on 

Comments on the Proposed Rule 

Change Received From Members, 

Participants or Others 

Written comments relating to the 

proposed amendments have not been 

solicited or received by ICE Clear 

Europe. ICE Clear Europe will notify the 

Commission of any comments received 

with respect to the proposed 

amendments. 

III. Date of Effectiveness of the 

Proposed Rule Change, Security-Based 

Swap Submission and Advance Notice 

and Timing for Commission Action 

The foregoing rule change has become 

effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) 

of the Act 6 and paragraph (f) of Rule 

19b–4 7 thereunder. At any time within 

60 days of the filing of the proposed rule 

change, the Commission summarily may 

temporarily suspend such 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, security-based swap submission 

or advance notice is consistent with the 

Act. Comments may be submitted by

Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Proposed Request and 

Comment Request 

The Social Security Administration 

(SSA) publishes a list of information 

collection packages requiring clearance 

by the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) in compliance with 

Public Law 104–13, the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, effective October 

1, 1995. This notice includes revisions, 

and extensions, of OMB-approved 

information collections. 

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 ways to 

minimize burden on respondents, 

including the use of automated 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology. Mail, email, or 

fax your comments and 

recommendations on the information 

collection(s) to the OMB Desk Officer 

and SSA Reports Clearance Officer at 

the following addresses or fax numbers.

Or you may submit your comments 

online through www.regulations.gov, 

referencing Docket ID Number [SSA– 

2018–0025]. 

I. The information collections below 

are pending at SSA. SSA will submit 

them to OMB within 60 days from the 

date of this notice. To be sure we 

consider your comments, we must 

receive them no later than August 7, 

2018. Individuals can obtain copies of 

the collection instruments by writing to 

the above email address. 

1. Fee Agreement for Representation 

before the Social Security 

Administration—0960—NEW. Under 

the Social Security Act (Act), SSA 

requires individuals who represent a 

claimant before the agency and want to 

receive a fee for their services to obtain 

SSA’s authorization of the fee. One way 

to obtain the authorization is to submit 

the fee agreement. To facilitate this 

process, individuals can use Form SSA– 

1693. SSA uses the information from the 

SSA–1693 to review the request and 

authorize any fee to representatives who 

seek to charge and collect a fee from a 

claimant. The respondents are the 

representatives who help claimants 

through the application process. 

Note: SSA originally published this 

Notice on November 22, 2017, at 82 FR 

55707, and received several public 

comments. In response to those public 

comments, SSA revised the SSA–1693, 

and is republishing this Notice. 

Type of Request: Request for a new 

information collection.

2. State Supplementation Provisions: 

Agreement; Payments—20 CFR 

416.2095–416.2098, and 20 CFR 

416.2099—0960–0240. Section 1618 of 

the Act requires those states 

administering their own supplementary 

income payment program(s) to 

demonstrate compliance with the Act by 

passing Federal cost-of-living increases 

on to individuals who are eligible for 

state supplementary payments, and 

informing SSA of their compliance. In 

general, states report their 

supplementary payment information 

annually by the maintenance-ofpayment levels method. However, SSA 

may ask them to report up to four times 

in a year by the total-expenditures 

method. Regardless of the method, the 

states confirm their compliance with the 

requirements, and provide any changes 

to their optional supplementary 

payment rates. SSA uses the 

information to determine each state’s 

compliance or noncompliance with the 

pass-along requirements of the Act to 

determine eligibility for Medicaid 

reimbursement. If a state fails to keep 

payments at the required level, it 

becomes ineligible for Medicaid 

reimbursement under Title XIX of the 

Act. Respondents are state agencies 

administering supplemental programs. 

Type of Request: Extension of an 

OMB-approved information collection.

3. Substitution of Party Upon Death of 

Claimant—20 CFR 404.957(c)(4) and 

416.1457(c)(4)—0960–0288. An 

administrative law judge (ALJ) may 

dismiss a request for a hearing on a 

pending claim of a deceased individual 

for Social Security benefits or 

Supplemental Security Income (SSI) 

payments. Individuals who believe the 

dismissal may adversely affect them 

may complete Form HA–539, which 

allows them to request to become a 

substitute party for the deceased 

claimant. The ALJs and the hearing 

office support staff use the information 

from the HA–539 to: (1) Maintain a 

written record of request; (2) establish 

the relationship of the requester to the 

deceased claimant; (3) determine the 

substituted individual’s wishes 

regarding an oral hearing or decision on 

the record; and (4) admit the data into 

the claimant’s official record as an 

exhibit. The respondents are individuals 

requesting to be substitute parties for a 

deceased claimant.

4. Claimant Statement about Loan of 

Food or Shelter; Statement about Food

eligibility on need, as measured by the 


amozie on DSK3GDR082PROD with NOTICES1
26734 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 111 / Friday, June 8, 2018 / Notices 

amount of income an individual 

receives. Per our calculations, income 

includes other people providing in-kind 

support and maintenance in the form of 

food and shelter to SSI applicants or 

recipients. SSA uses Forms SSA–5062 

and SSA–L5063 to obtain statements 

about food or shelter provided to SSI 

claimants or recipients. SSA uses this 

information to determine whether food 

or shelters are bona fide loans or income 

for SSI purposes. This determination 

may affect claimants’ or recipients’ 

eligibility for SSI as well as the amounts 

of their SSI payments. The respondents 

are claimants and recipients for SSI 

payments, and individuals who provide 

loans of food or shelter to them.

403.155–0960–0619. Regulations at 20 

CFR 403.100–403.155 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations establish SSA’s 

policies and procedures for an 

individual; organization; or government 

entity to request official agency 

information, records, or testimony of an 

agency employee in a legal proceeding 

when the agency is not a party. The 

request, which respondents submit in 

writing to SSA, must: (1) Fully set out 

the nature and relevance of the sought 

testimony; (2) explain why the 

information is not available by other 

means; (3) explain why it is in SSA’s 

interest to provide the testimony; and 

(4) provide the date, time, and place for 

the testimony. Respondents are 

individuals or entities who request 

testimony from SSA employees in 

connection with a legal proceeding.

0960–0635. Individuals receiving or 

applying for Social Security Disability 

Insurance (SSDI) or SSI provide SSA 

with medical evidence and other proof 

SSA requires to prove their disability. 

SSA, and Disability Determination 

Services (DDS) on our behalf, collect 

this information using Form SSA–3380– 

BK. We use the information to 

document how claimant’s disabilities 

affect their ability to function, and to 

determine eligibility for SSI and SSDI 

claims. The respondents are third 

parties familiar with the functional 

limitations (or lack thereof) of claimants 

who apply for SSI and SSDI benefits.

7. Request for Deceased Individual’s 

Social Security Record—20 CFR 

402.130–0960–0665. When a member of 

the public requests an individual’s 

Social Security record, SSA needs the 

name and address of the requestor as 

well as a description of the requested 

record to process the request. SSA uses 

the information the respondent provides 

on Form SSA–711, or via an internet 

request through SSA’s electronic 

Freedom of Information Act (eFOIA) 

website to: (1) Verify the wage earner is 

deceased; and (2) access the correct 

Social Security record. Respondents are 

members of the public requesting 

deceased individuals’ Social Security 

records. 

Type of Request: Revision of an OMBapproved information collection.

8. Certification of Prisoner Identity 

Information—20 CFR 422.107–0960– 

0688. Inmates of Federal, State, or local 

prisons may need a Social Security card 

as verification of their Social Security 

number for school or work programs, or 

as proof of employment eligibility upon 

release from incarceration. Before SSA 

can issue a replacement Social Security 

card, applicants must show SSA proof 

of their identity. People who are in 

prison for an extended period typically 

do not have current identity documents. 

Therefore, under formal written 

agreement with the correctional 

institution, SSA allows prison officials 

to verify the identity of certain 

incarcerated U.S. citizens who need 

replacement Social Security cards. 

Information prison officials provide 

comes from the official prison files, sent 

on correctional facility letterhead. SSA 

uses this information to establish the 

applicant’s identity in the replacement 

Social Security card process. The 

respondents are prison officials who 

certify the identity of prisoners applying 

for replacement Social Security cards.

9. Notification of a Social Security 

Number (SSN) To An Employer for 

Wage Reporting—20 CFR 422.103(a)— 

0960–0778. Individuals applying for 

employment must provide a Social 

Security Number, or indicate they have 

applied for one. However, when an 

individual applies for an initial SSN, 

there is a delay between the assignment 

of the number and the delivery of the 

SSN card. At an individual’s request, 

SSA uses Form SSA–132 to send the 

individual’s SSN to an employer. 

Mailing this information to the 

employer: (1) Ensures the employer has 

the correct SSN for the individual; (2) 

allows SSA to receive correct earnings 

information for wage reporting 

purposes; and (3) reduces the delay in 

the initial SSN assignment and delivery 

of the SSN information directly to the 

employer. It also enables SSA to verify 

the employer as a safeguard for the 

applicant’s personally identifiable 

information. The majority of individuals 

who take advantage of this option are in 

the United States with exchange visitor 

and student visas; however, we allow 

any applicant for an SSN to use the 

SSA–132. The respondents are 

individuals applying for an initial SSN 

who ask SSA to mail confirmation of 

their application or the SSN to their 

employers.

Health IT Partner Program 

Assessment—Participating Facilities 

and Available Content Form—20 CFR 

404.1614 and 416.1014—0960–0798. 

The Health Information Technology for 

Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) 

Act promotes the adoption and 

meaningful use of health information 

technology (IT), particularly in the 

context of working with government 

agencies. Similarly, section 3004 of the 

Public Health Service Act requires 

health care providers or health 

insurance issuers with government 

contracts to implement, acquire, or 

upgrade their health IT systems and 

products to meet adopted standards and 

implementation specifications. To 

support expansion of SSA’s health IT 

initiative as defined under HITECH, 

SSA developed Form SSA–680, the 

Health IT Partner Program 

Assessment—participating Facilities 

and Available Content Form. The SSA– 

680 allows healthcare providers to 

provide the information SSA needs to 

determine their ability to exchange 

health information with us 

electronically. We evaluate potential 

partners (i.e., healthcare providers and 

organizations) on: (1) The accessibility 

of health information they possess; and 

(2) the content value of their electronic 

health records’ systems for our 

disability adjudication processes. SSA 

reviews the completeness of 

organizations’ SSA–680 responses as 

one part of our careful analysis of their 

readiness to enter into a health IT 

partnership with us. The respondents 

are healthcare providers and 

organizations exchanging information 

with the agency. 

Type of Request: Extension of an 

OMB-approved information collection.

1. Employment Relationship 

Questionnaire—20 CFR 404.1007— 

0960–0040. When SSA needs 

information to determine a worker’s 

employment status for the purpose of 

maintaining a worker’s earning records, 

the agency uses Form SSA–7160–F4 to 

determine the existence of an employeremployee relationship. We use the 

information to develop the employment
