Notice of Proposed Change in

Magnetic Media Reporting

Specifications, for Submitters Who File

Wage Reports Using Magnetic Media

or Electronic Filing

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that

SSA has developed proposed new

Magnetic Media Reporting and

Electronic Filing Specifications

(MMREF–1) for submitters who file

wage reports with SSA using Magnetic

tape, diskette, cartridge or electronic

filing. MMREF–1 will replace existing

Technical Information Bulletins (TIB) 4,

5, 6 and 7. The MMREF–1 consists of a

single record format to be used to report

domestic or territorial reports using

magnetic media and electronic filing. A

pilot will be conducted for tax year 1998

reporting using selected submitters.

Beginning with tax year 1999 and over

a several year period, submitters will be

required to transition to the MMREF–1

format.

We would like to receive any

comments the public may offer on the

MMREF–1. An educational seminar on

the MMREF–1 is scheduled to be held

at the SSA headquarters in Baltimore,

Maryland, January 16, 1997, 9 a.m. to 12

p.m. To receive a draft copy of the

MMREF–1 and/or to attend the

educational seminar contact the

addressee below.

DATES: Comments on the MMREF–1

must be received on or before February

28, 1997.

Reservations for the seminar would be

appreciated but are not necessary by

January 10, 1997.

ADDRESSES: To receive a draft and/or to
