6Requests received in the Office of Central 

Operations. 

7W2/W3 Fee is $81 per request, not dependent 

on the number of years or number of individuals 

within request. 

ACTION: Notice of updated schedule of 

standardized administrative fees. 

SUMMARY: On August 22, 2012,1 we 

announced in the Federal Register a 

schedule of standardized administrative 

fees we charge to the public. We charge 

these fees to recover our full costs when 

we provide information and related 

services for non-program purposes. We 

are announcing an update to the 

previously published schedule of 

standardized administrative fees.2

The updated standard fee schedule is 

part of our continuing effort to 

standardize fees for non-program 

information requests. Standard fees 

provide consistency and ensure we 

recover the full cost of supplying 

information when we receive a request 

for a purpose not directly related to the 

administration of a program under the 

Social Security Act (Act). 

DATES: The changes described above are 

applicable for requests we receive on or 

after October 1, 2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Section 1106 of the Act and the 

Privacy Act 3 authorize the 

Commissioner of Social Security to 

promulgate regulations regarding agency 

records and information and to charge 

fees for providing information and 

related services. Our regulations and 

operating instructions identify when we 

will charge fees for information.4 Under 

our regulations, whenever we determine 

a request for information is for any 

purpose not directly related to the 

administration of the Social Security 

programs, we require the requester to 

pay the full cost of providing the 

information. 

New Information: We are required to 

review and update standardized 

administrative fees at least every two 

years. Based on the most recent cost 

analysis, the following table provides 

the new schedule of standardized 

administrative fees per request: 

Copying an Electronic Folder $38 

Copying a Paper Folder $75 

Regional Office Certification 5 $64 

Record Extract $31 

Third Party Manual SSN Verification $33 

Office of Central Operations Certification 6

$34 

W2/W3 Requests 7 $81 

Form SSA–7050, Request for Social Security 

Earnings Information $91 

Request for Copy of Original Application for 

Social Security Card (Form SS–5) $24 

Request for Computer Extract of Social 

Security Number Application (Numident)

$22 

We charge $91 for each Form SSA– 

7050 for detailed yearly Social Security 

Earnings information. We will certify 

the detailed earnings information for an 

additional $34. Note: Certification is 

usually not necessary. A requester can 

obtain certified and non-certified 

detailed yearly Social Security earnings 

in formation by completing Form SSA– 

7050, Request for Social Security 

Earnings Information. A requester can 

continue to obtain non-certified, yearly 

earnings totals (Form SSA–7004, 

Request for a Social Security Statement) 

through our free online service my 

Social Security, a personal online 

account for Social Security information 

and services. Online Social Security 

Statements display uncertified, yearly 

earnings, free of charge, and do not 

show any employer information. 

Certified yearly Social Security earnings 

totals cost $34 and are available by 

completing Form SSA–7050. 

We will continue to evaluate all 

standard fees at least every two years to 

ensure we capture the full costs 

associated with providing information 

for non-program-related purposes. We 

require nonrefundable advance payment 

of the standard fee by check, money 

order, or credit card. We do not accept 

cash. Only one form of payment is 

acceptable in the full amount of the 

standard fee. If we revise any of the 

standard fees, we will publish another 

notice in the Federal Register. For other 

non-program requests for information 

not addressed here or within the current 

schedule of standardized administrative 

fees, we will continue to charge fees 

calculated on a case-by-case basis to 

recover our full cost of supplying the 

information. No other changes will 

apply to the schedule of standardized 

administrative fees announced in the 

Federal Register 1 on August 22, 2012.

the proposed information collection to 

the Office of Information and Regulatory 

Affairs, Office of Management and 

Budget. Comments should be addressed 

to the attention of the Desk Officer, 

Department of Transportation/FAA, and 

sent via electronic mail to oira_

comments in the request for OMB’s 

clearance of this information collection. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Barbara Hall at (940) 594–5913, or by 

email at: Barbara.L.Hall@faa.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 2120–0009. 

Title: Pilot Schools—FAR 141. 

Form Numbers: 8420–8. 

Type of Review: This is a renewal of 

an existing information collection. 

Background: The Federal Register 

Notice with a 60-day comment period 

soliciting comments on the following 

collection of information was published 

on June 14, 2018 (83 FR 27820). On June 

27, 2018, the FAA published the final 

rule Regulatory Relief, Aviation 

Training devices; Pilot Certification, 

Training, and Pilot Schools; and Other 

Provisions (83 FR 30232). In that rule, 

the FAA is amending § 141.5(d) to allow 

part 141 pilot schools that hold training 

course approvals for special curricula 

courses to renew their certificates based 

on their students’ successful completion 

of an end-of-course test for these FAA 

approved courses. In that rule, the FAA 

further adjusts the number of pilot 

schools based on population changes, 

and to account for the change in burden 

associated with these new courses. 

We estimate that of the 31 new 

applications for pilot school certificates, 

25% will have special curricula courses 

that will need to be accounted for in the 

passage rate required for issuance of a 

certificate in § 141.5(d). Of the 291 

applications for renewal of pilot school 

certificates, approximately 25% would 

include special curricula courses that 

must now be accounted for in the 

passage rate for renewal of a certificate 

under § 141.5(d). We estimate that it 

would take .1 hours to add this special 

curricula course information to both 

initial and renewal applications. 

8 new applications at .1 hours each = .8 

hours 

73 applications at .1 hours each (adding 

special curr.) = 7.3 hours 

171.0 hours + 8.1 hours = 180 total 

burden hours 

The FAA is also making a burden 

adjustment to the number of pilot 

schools, increasing the population from 

546 pilot schools to 581 pilot schools. 

Respondents: 581 pilot schools. 

Frequency: As needed for new 

applicants; every 24 months for 

renewals of existing pilot schools. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Response: 0.5 hours, + 0.1 hours for 

special curriculum course information 

(when applicable). 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 

31,837 total burden hours. 2,787 total 

annual reporting burden hours, and 

29,050 total annual recordkeeping 

burden hours. 

Issued in Washington, DC, on August 23, 

2018.

BILLING CODE 4910–13–P 

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Railroad Administration 

[Docket Number FRA–2018–0069] 

Petition for Waiver of Compliance 

Under part 211 of Title 49 Code of 

Federal Regulations (CFR), this provides 

the public notice that by letter dated 

August 14, 2018, CSX Transportation, 

Inc. (CSXT) petitioned the Federal 

Railroad Administration (FRA) for a 

waiver of compliance from certain 

provisions of the Federal railroad safety 

regulations contained at 49 CFR part 

234. FRA assigned the petition Docket 

Number FRA–2018–0069. 

CSXT seeks a waiver of compliance 

from 49 CFR 234.247, Purpose of 

inspections and tests; removal from 

service of relay or device failing to meet 

test requirements, to remove 

approximately 400 stored rail cars and 

certain railbound equipment from 

CSXT’s Illinois Subdivision, which is 

currently discontinued from service 

between milepost (MP) BC 244.7, near 

Flora, Clay County, Illinois, and MP BC 

327.9, near Caseyville, St. Clair County, 

pursuant to the Surface Transportation 

Board’s issuance of two Discontinuance 

of Service Exemptions dated December 

10, 2015 and January 9, 2017, 

respectively. CSXT notes that numerous 

communities have raised concerns and 

requested it remove the stored rail cars 

and rail-bound equipment. 

CSXT states that no revenue traffic 

has moved on the discontinued portion 

of the Illinois Subdivision since June of 

2016. Because CSXT has no current 

intention of resuming revenue service 

on this Subdivision, CSXT seeks this 

relief to remove the cars and rail-bound 

equipment from its tracks as 

expeditiously as possible. Specifically, 

CSXT seeks relief to operate over nonfunctioning highway-rail grade 

crossings without making inspections 

and tests required in §§ 234.249 through 

234.271. To ameliorate any safety 

concerns, CSXT will make all train 

moves at 10 miles per hour or less and 

during daylight hours, work with local 

authorities to obtain permission to close 

the roadway at impacted crossings, and 

will station an employee at each 

impacted crossing to provide waring to 

approaching highway traffic and 

communicate with motorists as needed. 

A copy of the petition, as well as any 

written communications concerning the 

petition, is available for review online at
