Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 38 / Thursday, February 26, 2015 / Proposed Rules 10435 

issue you a replacement Social Security 

number card. 

* * * * * 

■ 3. Amend § 422.107 by: 

■ a. Revising paragraphs (a) and (c); 

■ b. In paragraph (e)(1), removing each 

instance of ‘‘Immigration and 

Naturalization Service’’ and adding in 

its place, ‘‘Department of Homeland 

Security’’; and 

■ c. Revising paragraph (g). 

The revisions read as follows: 

§ 422.107 Evidence requirements. 

(a) General. To obtain an original 

Social Security number card, you must 

submit convincing evidence of your age, 

U.S. citizenship or alien status, and true 

identity, as described in paragraphs (b) 

through (e) of this section. If you apply 

for a replacement Social Security 

number card, you must submit 

convincing evidence of your true 

identity, as described in paragraph (c) of 

this section, and you may also be 

required to submit convincing evidence 

of your age and U.S. citizenship or alien 

status, as described in paragraphs (b), 

(d), and (e) of this section. If you apply 

for an original or replacement Social 

Security number card, you are also 

required to submit evidence to assist us 

in determining the existence and 

identity of any previously assigned 

Social Security number(s). We will not 

assign a Social Security number or issue 

an original or replacement card unless 

we determine that you meet all of the 

evidence requirements. We require an 

in-person interview if you are age 12 or 

older and are applying for an original 

Social Security number, unless you are 

an alien who requests a Social Security 

number as part of the immigration 

process described in § 422.103(b)(3). We 

may require an in-person interview of 

other applicants. All paper or other 

tangible documents submitted as 

evidence must be originals or copies of 

the original documents certified by the 

custodians of the original records and 

are subject to verification. We may also 

verify your eligibility factors, as 

described in paragraphs (b)–(e) of this 

section, through other means, including 

but not limited to data matches or other 

agreements with government agencies or 

other entities that we determine can 

provide us with appropriate and secure 

verification of your eligibility factors. 

* * * * * 

(c) Evidence of identity. (1) If you 

apply for an original Social Security 

number or a replacement Social 

Security number card, you are required 

to submit convincing evidence of your 

identity. Evidence of identity may 

consist of a driver’s license, 

identification card, school record, 

medical record, marriage record, 

passport, Department of Homeland 

Security document, or other similar 

evidence serving to identify you. The 

evidence must contain sufficient 

information to identify you, including 

your name and: 

(i) Your age, date of birth, or parents’ 

names; or 

(ii) Your photograph or physical 

description. 

(2) A birth record is not sufficient 

evidence to establish identity for these 

purposes. 

* * * * * 

(g) Inability to verify eligibility factors. 

We will not issue an original or 

replacement Social Security number 

card when you present invalid or 

expired documents or when we are 

unable to verify the required evidence 

through other means, as described in 

paragraph (a) of this section. Invalid 

documents are either forged documents 

that supposedly were issued by the 

custodian of the record, or properly 

issued documents that were improperly 

changed after they were issued. An 

expired document is one that was valid 

for only a limited time and that time has 

passed. 

■ 4. Amend § 422.110 by revising 

paragraph (a) to read as follows: 

§ 422.110 Individual’s request for change 

in record. 

(a) Application. If you wish to change 

the name or other personal identifying 

information you previously submitted 

in connection with an application for a 

Social Security number card, you must 

complete a prescribed application, 

except as provided in paragraph (b) of 

this section. You must prove your 

identity, and you may be required to 

provide other evidence. (See § 422.107 

for evidence requirements.) You may 

complete a request for change in records 

in the manner we designate, including 

at any Social Security office, or, if you 

are outside the U.S., to the Department 

of Veterans Affairs Regional Office, 

Manila, Philippines, or to any U.S. 

Foreign Service post or U.S. military 

post. If your request is for a change of 

name on the card (that is, verified legal 

changes to the first name or surname, or 

both), we may issue you a replacement 

Social Security number card bearing the 

same number and the new name. We 

will grant an exception to the 

limitations specified in § 422.103(e)(2) 

for replacement Social Security number 

cards representing a change in name or, 

if you are an alien, a change to a 

restrictive legend shown on the card. 

(See § 422.103(e)(3) for the definition of 

a change to a restrictive legend.)

26 CFR Part 57 

[REG–143416–14; RIN 1545–BM51] 

Health Insurance Providers Fee 

AGENCY: Internal Revenue Service (IRS), 

Treasury. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

by cross-reference to temporary 

regulations. 

SUMMARY: This document contains 

proposed regulations that provide rules 

for the definition of a covered entity for 

purposes of the fee imposed by section 

9010 of the Patient Protection and 

Affordable Care Act, as amended. In the 

Rules and Regulations section of this 

issue of the Federal Register, the IRS is 

issuing temporary regulations. The text 

of those temporary regulations also 

serves as the text of these proposed 

regulations. The proposed regulations 

are necessary to clarify certain terms in 

section 9010. The proposed regulations 

affect persons engaged in the business of 

providing health insurance for United 

States health risks. 

DATES: Comments and requests for a 

public hearing must be received by May 

27, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: Send submissions to: 

CC:PA:LPD:PR (REG–143416–14), Room 

5203, Internal Revenue Service, PO Box

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Temporary regulations in the Rules 

and Regulations section of this issue of 


rmajette on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
10436 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 38 / Thursday, February 26, 2015 / Proposed Rules 

the Federal Register amend the Health 

Insurance Providers Fee Regulations (26 

CFR part 57) and serve as the text for 

these proposed regulations. 

Special Analyses 

It has been determined that these 

proposed regulations are not a 

significant regulatory action as defined 

in Executive Order 12866, as 

supplemented by Executive Order 

13563. Therefore, a regulatory 

assessment is not required. It also has 

been determined that section 553(b) of 

the Administrative Procedure Act (5 

U.S.C. chapter 5) does not apply to these 

regulations, and because the regulation 

does not impose a collection of 

information on small entities, the 

Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 

chapter 6) does not apply. Pursuant to 

section 7805(f) of the Code, these 

regulations have been submitted to the 

Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the Small 

Business Administration for comment 

on its impact on small business. 

Comments and Requests for a Public 

Hearing 

Before the proposed regulations are 

adopted as final regulations, 

consideration will be given to any 

comments that are submitted timely to 

the IRS as prescribed in this preamble 

under the ADDRESSES heading. The 

Treasury Department and the IRS 

request comments on all aspects of the 

proposed regulations. All comments 

will be available at www.regulations.gov 

or upon request. A public hearing will 

be scheduled if requested in writing by 

any person that timely submits written 

comments. If a public hearing is 

scheduled, notice of the date, time, and 

place for the public hearing will be 

published in the Federal Register. 

Drafting Information 

The principal author of these 

proposed regulations is Rachel S. Smith, 

IRS Office of the Associate Chief 

Counsel (Passthroughs and Special 

Industries). However, other personnel 

from the Treasury Department and the 

IRS participated in their development.
