1. Integrated Registration Services 

(IRES) System—20 CFR 401.45—0960– 

0626 

The IRES System verifies the identity 

of individuals, businesses, 

organizations, entities, and government 

agencies to use SSA’s eService Internet 

and telephone applications for 

requesting and exchanging business 

data with SSA. The requestor provides 

information, prescribed by SSA, to 

establish his or her identity. Once SSA 

verifies identity, IRES will issue the 

requestor a user identification number 

(User ID) and a password to conduct 

business with SSA. Respondents are 

employers and third party submitters of 

wage data, business entities providing 

taxpayer identification information, and 

data exchange partners conducting 

business in support of SSA programs. 

Type of Request: Revision of an OMBapproved information collection.

2. Request for Internet Services— 

Password Authentication—20 CFR 

401.45—0960–0632 

SSA has a password infrastructure 

and process for verifying the identity of 

individuals who choose to use the 

Internet and the automated telephone 

response system to conduct personal 

business with SSA in an electronic 

environment. To obtain a password 

from SSA’s Individual Password 

Services, we ask an individual for 

certain information, prescribed by SSA. 

SSA uses the information to 

authenticate an individual prior to 

issuing a temporary password. Once 

SSA authenticates an individual, and 

the individual creates a permanent 

password, he or she may use SSA’s 

password protected services, e.g., 

account status, change of address, direct 

deposit elections, or changes. The 

respondents are individuals electing to 

do personal business with SSA through 

an electronic medium. 

Type of Request: Extension of an 

OMB-approved information collection.

3. Social Security Number Verification 

Services—20 CFR 401.45—0960–0660 

Internal Revenue Service regulations 

obligate 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). 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 several cost-free methods for 

employers to verify employee 

information. The cost-free methods 

include: 

(1) Internet-based service, known as 

the Social Security Number Verification 

Service (SSNVS)—employers can verify 

if the reported names and SSNs of their 

employees match SSA’s records; 

(2) The Employee Verification Service 

(EVS)—employers verify, via paper and 

telephone, whether the reported names 

and SSNs of their employees match 

SSA’s records; 

(3) SSA’s National 800 Number—an 

automated telephone employee 

verification service (TNEV) that allows 

callers with an SSA-authorized PIN and 

password to verify employees’ names 

and SSNs through TNEV.

II. SSA has submitted the information 

collections we list below to OMB for

information collections would be most 

useful if OMB and SSA receive them

no later than May 28, 2009. You can

OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES 

TRADE REPRESENTATIVE 

[Docket No. USTR–2008–0036] 

Additional Delay in Modification of 

Action Taken in Connection With WTO 

Dispute Settlement Proceedings on the 

European Communities’ Ban on 

Imports of U.S. Beef and Beef Products 

AGENCY: Office of the United States 

Trade Representative. 

ACTION: Notice and modification of 

action. 

SUMMARY: On January 15, 2009, the 

United States Trade Representative 

(‘‘Trade Representative’’) announced 

modifications (‘‘January 15 

modifications’’) to the action taken in 

July 1999 in connection with the World 

Trade Organization (‘‘WTO’’) 

authorization of the United States in the 

EC-Beef Hormones dispute to suspend 

concessions and related obligations with 

respect to the European Communities 

(‘‘EC’’). See 74 FR 4265 (Jan. 23, 2009). 

The January 15 modifications initially 

had an effective date of March 23, 2009. 

The Trade Representative subsequently 

delayed the effective date of the 

additional duties imposed under the 

January 15 modifications until April 23, 

2009. The effective date of the removal 

of duties under the January 15 

modifications remained March 23, 2009. 

See 74 FR 11613 (March 18, 2009); 74 

FR 12402 (March 24, 2009). In order to 

allow additional time to reach 

agreement with the EC on an interim 

solution that would provide benefits to 

the U.S. beef industry, the Trade 

Representative has decided to delay the 

effective date of the additional duties 

imposed under the January 15 

modifications from April 23, 2009 until 

May 9, 2009. 

Effective Date: The additional duties 

under the January 15 modifications 

shall be effective with respect to 

products that are entered, or withdrawn 

from warehouse, for consumption on or 

after May 9, 2009. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Roger Wentzel, Director, Agricultural 

Affairs, (202) 395–6127 or David 

Weiner, Director for the European 

Union, (202) 395–4620 for questions 

concerning the EC-Beef Hormones 

dispute; or William Busis, Associate 

General Counsel and Chair of the 

Section 301 Committee, (202) 395–3150, 

for questions concerning procedures 

under Section 301. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: For 

background concerning the EC-Beef 

Hormones WTO dispute, the January 15 

modifications, and the initial delay in 

the effective date of the modifications, 

see 74 FR 4265 (Jan. 23, 2009), 74 FR 

11613 (March 18, 2009), and 74 FR 

12402 (March 24, 2009). 

Pursuant to Section 305 of the Trade 

Act of 1974, the Trade Representative 

has determined that a further delay in 

implementation of the January 15 

modifications would be desirable to 

obtain a satisfactory solution with 

respect to the EC’s ban on U.S. beef. 

Accordingly, the Trade Representative 

has decided to delay the effective date 

of the additional duties imposed under 

the January 15 modifications from April 

23, 2009 until May 9, 2009. The actions 

to be delayed are: (i) The imposition of 

increased duties on additional products, 

(ii) the application to products of 

additional EC member States of the 

increased duties on currently covered 

products, and (iii) the increase in the 

level of duties on one of the products 

that is being maintained on the product 

list. These are the same actions that 

were previously delayed until April 23, 

2009. 

The increased duties under the 

January 15 modifications are set out in 

Annex II of the notice published at 74 

FR 12402 (March 24, 2009). In order to 

delay the effective date of the increased 

duties until May 9, 2009, (i) the date of 

‘‘April 23, 2009’’ set out in the second 

line of Part A of Annex II of the notice 

published at 74 FR 12402 is hereby 

changed to ‘‘May 9, 2009’’; and (ii) the 

date of ‘‘April 23, 2009’’ set out in the 

second line of Part B of Annex II of the 

notice published at 74 FR 12402 is 

hereby changed to ‘‘May 9, 2009’’. Any 

merchandise covered under Part B of 

Annex II of the notice published at 74 

FR 12402 that is admitted to a U.S. 

foreign-trade zone on or after May 9, 

2009 must be admitted in ‘‘privileged 

foreign status’’ as defined in 19 CFR 

146.41. Questions concerning customs 

matters may be directed to Renee
