SSA uses the information from Form SSA–788 to verify payee applicants’ statements of concern and to identify other potential payees. SSA is concerned with selecting the most qualified representative payee who will use Social Security benefits in the beneficiary’s best interest. SSA considers factors such as the payee applicant’s capacity to perform payee duties; awareness of the beneficiary’s situation and needs; demonstration of past and current concern for the beneficiary’s well-being; etc. If the payee applicant does not have custody of the beneficiary, SSA will obtain information from the custodian for evaluation against information provided by the applicant. Respondents are individuals who have custody of the beneficiary in cases where someone else filed to be the beneficiary’s representative payee.

2. Representative Payee ReportSpecial Veterans Benefits—20 CFR
408.665—0960–0621. Title VIII of the Social Security Act allows for payment of monthly Social Security benefits to qualified World War II veterans residingoutside the United States. An SSAappointed representative payee may receive and manage the monthly payment for the beneficiary’s use and benefit. SSA uses the information on Form SSA–2001–F6 to determine whether the representative payee used the certified payments properly, and continues to demonstrate strong concern for the beneficiary’s best interests. Representative payees who receive SVB on behalf of beneficiaries residing outside the United States must complete the SSA–2001–F6 annually. We also require these representative payees to complete the form any time we have reason to believe they could be misusing the benefit payments. The respondents are individuals or organizations serving as representative payees who receive SVB on behalf of beneficiaries living outside the United States.

3. Social Security Number Verification Services—20 CFR 401.45—
0960–0660. Internal Revenue Service regulations require employers to provide wage and tax data to SSA using Form W–2 or its electronic equivalent. As part of this process, the employer must furnish the employee’s name and Social Security number (SSN). In addition, the employee’s name and SSN must match SSA’s records for SSA to post earnings to the employee’s earnings record, which SSA maintains. SSA offers the Social Security Number Verification Service (SSNVS), which allows employers to verify the reported names and SSNs of their employees match those in SSA’s records. SSNVS is a cost-free method for employers to verify employee information either through the Internet or via telephone. The respondents are employers who need to verify SSN data using SSA’s records.

**BILLING CODE 4910–13–P DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION** 

**Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration** 

**[Docket No. FMCSA–2014–0445]**

**Hours of Service of Drivers: California Farm Bureau Federation; Granting of**  **Application for Exemption**

**AGENCY :**  Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), DOT.

**ACTION :**  Notice of final disposition; granting of application for exemption.

**SUMMARY :**  FMCSA announces the granting of an exemption from the 30- minute rest break provision of the Agency’s hours-of-service (HOS) regulations for certain commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers transporting bees. FMCSA has analyzed both the exemption application submitted by the California Farm Bureau Federation (CFBF) on behalf of its members and other agricultural organizations and the public comments received in response to the Agency’s January 8, 2015, Federal Register notice. The Agency has determined that it is appropriate to grant an exemption to ensure the well-being of Nation’s bees during interstate transportation by CMV. The exemption is consistent with the goals and strategies to protect the health of honey bees and other pollinators as stated in the ‘‘Presidential Memorandum Creating a Federal Strategy to Promote the Health of Honey Bees and Other Pollinators,’’ issued on June 20, 2014. The exemption, subject to the terms and conditions imposed, will likely achieve a level of safety that is equivalent to, or greater than, the level that would be achieved absent such exemption. This exemption preempts inconsistent State and local requirements.

**DATES :**  This exemption is effective June 19, 2015 and expires on June 19, 2017.

. **SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  Legal Basis

Section 4007(a) of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA– 21) (Pub. L. 105–178, 112 Stat. 107, 401, June 9, 1998) authorized exemptions from any of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) issued under chapter 313 or section 31136 of title 49 of the United States Code (49 U.S.C. 31136(e), 31315(b)). Prior to granting an exemption, the Secretary must request public comment and make a determination that the exemption is likely to achieve a level of safety that is equivalent to, or greater than, the level of safety that would be obtained in the absence of the exemption. Exemptions may be granted for a period of up to 2 years and may be renewed.

The FMCSA Administrator has been delegated authority under 49 CFR 1.87(e)(1) and (f) to carry out the functions vested in the Secretary by 49 U.S.C. chapter 313 and subchapters I and III of chapter 311, relating, respectively, to the commercial driver’s license program and to CMV programs and safety regulation. Background Information

On December 27, 2011, FMCSA published a final rule amending its hours-of-service (HOS) regulations for drivers of property-carrying CMVs. The final rule included a new provision requiring drivers to take a rest break during the work day under certain circumstances. Drivers may drive a CMV only if a period of 8 hours or lesshas passed since the end of their last offduty or sleeper-berth (S/B) period of at least 30 minutes. FMCSA did not specify when drivers must take the minimum 30-minute break, but the rule requires that they wait no longer than 8 hours after the last off-duty or S/B period of that length or longer to take the break if they want to drive a CMV. This requirement took effect on July 1,
2013.

On August 2, 2013, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit issued its opinion on petitions for review of the 2011 HOS rule filed by the American Trucking Associations, Public Citizen, and others [American Trucking Associations, Inc., v. Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, 724 F.3d 243 (D.C. Cir. 2013)]. The Court upheld the 2011 HOS regulations in all respects except for the 30-minutebreak provision as it applies to shorthaul drivers.

The Court vacated the rest-break requirement of 49 CFR 395.3(a)(3)(ii) with respect to any driver qualified to operate under either of the ‘‘short haul’ ’’ exceptions outlined in 49 CFR 395.1(e)(1) or (2). Specifically, the following drivers are no longer subject to the 30-minute break requirement:

• All drivers (whether they hold a commercial driver’s license (CDL) or not) who operate within 100 air-miles of their normal work reporting location and satisfy the time limitations and recordkeeping requirements of 49 CFR 395.1(e)(1), and
