AGENCY: Social Security Administration (SSA).

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, we are issuing 
public notice of our intent to modify our existing systems of records 
listed below under the System Name and Number section. This notice 
publishes details of the modified systems as set forth below under the 
caption, SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION.

DATES: The system of records notice (SORN) is applicable upon its 
publication in today's Federal Register, with the exception of the new 
routine use, which is effective January 2, 2025.
    We invite public comment on the addition of the routine use. In 
accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, we are providing the public a 
30-day period in which to submit comments. Therefore, please submit any 
comments by January 2, 2025.

ADDRESSES: The public, Office of Management and Budget (OMB), and 
Congress may comment on this publication by writing to the Executive 
Director, Office of Privacy and Disclosure, Office of the General 
Counsel, SSA, Room G-401 West High Rise, 6401 Security Boulevard,

Portal at https://www.regulations.gov. Please reference docket number

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Recognizing that, in certain limited 
circumstances, executors or entities may seek authorization for fees 
for the services performed by a representative, and individuals may 
seek authorization for fees for services provided even if they have not 
been appointed on a claim, we are modifying an existing routine use in 
the Attorney Fee File (60-0003) and in the Claims Folders System (60-
0089) to reflect the following:
    To a representative (current or former), the executor of a deceased 
representative's estate or individual recognized by the State as the 
representative of the estate, an individual who provided 
representational services, the entity with which the representative or 
individual is or was affiliated through registration, or an individual 
or entity to which the agency disbursed a fee payment, to the extent 
necessary to dispose of a fee petition or fee agreement or resolve 
other fee-related issues in claims-related matters, but not to include 
pre-decisional deliberative documents, such as analyses and 
recommendations prepared for the decision-maker.
