Sections 20 CFR 404.367 and 404.368 of the Code of Federal Regulations provide a student beneficiary must attend an educational institution full-time to qualify for Social Security benefits. SSA requires beneficiaries to report events that may cause a reduction, termination, or suspension of their benefits. SSA collects information on Form SSA–1383 to determine if the change or event a student reports affects continuing entitlement to Social Security benefits. We also use the information to determine the correct benefit amounts. The respondents are Social Security student beneficiaries.

3. Protection and Advocacy for Beneficiaries of Social Security (PABSS)—Grant Awardees/Protection and Advocacy for Beneficiaries of Social Security (PABSS)— Beneficiaries—20 CFR 435.51–435.52—0960–0768. In August of 2004, SSA announced its intention to award grants to establish community-based protection and advocacy projects in every State and U.S. Territory, as authorized under section 1150 of the Social Security Act. Potential awardees were protection and advocacy organizations (under Title I of the Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act) that submitted a timely application conforming to the requirements shown in the 2004 announcement. The projects SSA funds under the PABSS program are part of SSA’s strategy to increase the number of beneficiaries who return to work and achieve self-sufficiency as the result of advocacy or other services. The overall goal of the program is to provide information and advice about obtaining vocational rehabilitation and employment services, and to provide advocacy or other services a beneficiary with a disability may need to secure, maintain, or regain gainful employment.

The PABSS Semi-Annual Program Performance Report collects statistical information from the various protection and advocacy (P&A) projects to manage program performance. SSA uses the information to evaluate the efficacy of the program and to ensure beneficiaries are receiving the dollars appropriated for PABSS services. The project data is valuable to SSA in its analysis of, and future planning for, the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and SSI programs. The respondents are the 57 designated P&A project system sites (in each of the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Territories), and beneficiaries of SSDI and SSI programs.

**OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES TRADE REPRESENTATIVE** 

**2010 Special 301 Out-of-Cycle Reviews of the Philippines and Thailand:**  **Identification of Countries Under Section 182 of the Trade Act of 1974:**  **Request for Public Comment**

**AGENCY :**  Office of the United States Trade Representative.

**ACTION :**  Request for written submissions from the public.

**SUMMARY :**  Section 182 of the Trade Act of 1974 (Trade Act) (19 U.S.C. 2242) requires the United States Trade Representative (USTR) to identify countries that deny adequate and effective protection of intellectual property rights (IPR) or deny fair and equitable market access to U.S. persons who rely on intellectual property protection. (The provisions of Section 182 are commonly referred to as the

‘‘ Special 301 ’’ provisions of the Trade Act.) The USTR is required to determine which, if any, of these countries should be identified as Priority Foreign Countries. In addition, USTR has created a ‘‘ Priority Watch List’’ and

‘‘Watch List’’ under Special 301 provisions. Placement of a trading partner on the Priority Watch List or Watch List indicates that particular problems exist in that country with respect to IPR protection, enforcement, or market access for persons relying on intellectual property. Countries placed on the Priority Watch List are the focus of increased bilateral attention concerning the problem areas.

In the 2010 Special 301 Report ( http://www.ustr.gov ), USTR announced that, in order to monitor progress on specific IPR issues, Out-of-Cycle Reviews would be conducted for the Philippines and Thailand. USTR requests written submissions from the public concerning any act, policy, or practice that is relevant to the decision regarding whether the Philippines and Thailand should be identified under Section 182 of the Trade Act.

**DATES :**  Submissions from the general public must be received on or before 10 a.m. on Friday, December 10, 2010. Foreign governments who choose to make written submissions may do so on or before 10 a.m. on Friday, December 17, 2010.

**ADDRESSES :**  All comments should be sent electronically to http:// www.regulations.gov, [docket number USTR–2010–0035]. Submissions should contain the term ‘‘ 2010 Special 301 Outof-Cycle Review ’’ in the ‘‘ Type comment & Upload file ’’ field on http:// www.regulations.gov.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT :**  Jared Ragland, Director, Intellectual Property and Innovation, Office of the United States Trade Representative, at (202) 395–4510.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  Pursuant to Section 182 of the Trade Act, USTR must identify those countries that deny adequate and effective protection for intellectual property rights or deny fair and equitable market access to U.S. persons who rely on intellectual property protection. Those countries that have the most onerous or egregious acts, policies, or practices and whose acts, policies, or practices have the greatest adverse impact (actual or potential) on relevant U.S. products are to be identified as Priority Foreign Countries. Acts, policies, or practices that are the basis of a country’s designation as a Priority Foreign Country are normally the subject of an investigation under the Section 301 provisions of the Trade Act. USTR may not identify a country as a Priority Foreign Country if that country is entering into good faith negotiations or making significant progress in bilateral or multilateral negotiations to provide adequate and effective protection of intellectual property rights. In addition, USTR has created a ‘‘ Priority Watch List’’ and ‘‘Watch List’’ under Special 301 provisions. Placement of a trading partner on the Priority Watch List or Watch List indicates that particular problems exist in that country with respect to IPR protection, enforcement, or market access for persons relying on intellectual property. Countries placed on the Priority Watch List are the focus of increased bilateral attention concerning the problem areas.

USTR requests that, where relevant, submissions mention particular regions, provinces, States, or other subdivisions of a country in which an act, policy, or practice deserve special attention. Submissions may report positive or negative developments with respect to these entities.

Requirements for Comments: Comments should include a description of the problems experienced by the submitter and the effect of the acts, policies, and practices on U.S. industry. Comments should be as detailed as possible and should provide all necessary information for assessing the effect of the acts, policies, and practices. Any comments that include quantitative loss claims should be accompanied by the methodology used in calculating such estimated losses. Comments must be in English. All comments should be sent electronically to http:// www.regulations.gov, [docket number USTR–2010–0035].
