1. Statement of Care and 

Responsibility for Beneficiary—20 CFR 

404.2020, 404.2025, 408.620, 408.625, 

416.620, 416.625—0960–0109. 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 residing 

outside 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.

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. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Thomas Yager, Chief, FMCSA Driver 

and Carrier Operations Division; Office 

of Carrier, Driver, and Vehicle Safety 

Standards; Telephone: 202–366–4325. 

Email: MCPSD@dot.gov. 

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 less 

has 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-minute 

break 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
