1. Integrated Registration Services 

(IRES) System—20 CFR 401.45—0960– 

0626. IRES is an internet-based 

application that replaces the 

respondent’s handwritten paper-based 

signature with a user identification 

number (User ID) and a password. IRES 

provides registration, authentication, 

and authorization gateway services for 

Business-to-Government (B2G) suites of 

services, including, but not limited to: 

a. Business Services Online (BSO) 

D Claimant Representative Services 

b. Government Services Online (GSO) 

(OMB#0960–0757) 

D Office of Child Support Enforcement 

(OCSE) Services 

D Secure exchange of information 

between SSA and third parties in 

support of SSA and other federal 

government-supported programs 

c. Customer Support Application (CSA) 

D CSA provides customer support 

service for IRES. CSA allows users 

to complete the registration process 

via a telephone interview with a 

Social Security customer service 

representative. 

The IRES System verifies the identity 

of individuals, businesses, 

organizations, entities, and government 

agencies seeking to use SSA’s secured 

internet and telephone applications. 

Individuals need this verification to 

electronically request and exchange 

business data with SSA. Requestors 

provide SSA with the information 

needed to establish their identities. 

Once SSA verifies identity, the IRES 

system issues the requestor a user 

identification number and a password to 

conduct business with SSA. 

Respondents are employers; employees; 

third party submitters of wage data 

business entities providing taxpayer 

identification information; appointed 

representatives; representative payees; 

and data exchange partners conducting 

business in support of SSA programs. 

Type of Request: Revision of an OMBapproved information collection.

and average hourly wages for paralegals/legal assistants and lawyers as posted by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes_nat.htm). 

** This figure does not represent actual costs that SSA is imposing on recipients of Social Security payments to complete this application; rather, these are theoretical opportunity costs for the additional time respondents will spend to complete the application. There is no actual charge to respondents to complete the 

application. 

2. Notification of a Social Security 

Number (SSN) to an Employer for Wage 

Reporting Purposes—20 CFR 

422.103(a)—0960–0778. Individuals 

applying for employment must provide 

a SSN or indicate they have applied for 

one. However, when an individual 

applies for an initial SSN, there is a 

delay between the assignment of the 

number and the delivery of the SSN 

card. At an individual’s request, SSA 

uses Form SSA–132 to send the 

individual’s SSN to an employer. 

Mailing this information to the 

employer: (1) ensures the employer has 

the correct SSN for the individual; (2) 

allows SSA to receive correct earnings 

information for wage reporting 

purposes; and (3) reduces the delay in 

the initial SSN assignment and delivery 

of the SSN information directly to the 

employer. It also enables SSA to verify 

the employer as a safeguard for the 

applicant’s personally identifiable 

information. The respondents are 

individuals applying for an initial SSN 

who ask SSA to mail confirmation of 

their application or the SSN to their 

employers. 

Type of Request: Revision of an OMBapproved information collection.

1Applicants state that Tiger Infrastructure 

Partners Fund IV AIV LP is managed by Tiger 

Infrastructure Associates GP IV LP, a noncarrier 

Delaware limited partnership headquartered in New 

York. (Appl. 3.) More information about these 

entities and Tiger Infrastructure Fund LP, which is 

the private equity firm that established Tiger 

Investment Fund IV AIV LP, is included in the 

application. (Id.) 

2Those minority shareholders are Garrett O. 

Regan, Casey O. Regan, Michael R. Clark, Michael 

J. Krois, Thomas J. Severson, Michael S. Karlen, 

Troy J. Nelson, Angela J. Mattingly, and Michael C. 

Mattingly. (Appl. 4 n.6.) 

3By decision served on November 14, 2024, the 

Board tentatively approved and authorized an 

application filed by Seller to control the Subject 

Carriers through a corporate reorganization in 

which Seller would become the majority 

shareholder in MNC Holding Company, a new 

entity created to serve as a holding company for the 

Subject Carriers and other noncarrier entities. 

Patrick O. Regan—Acquis. of Control—Faribault 

Transp. Serv., Inc. (Regan), MCF 21123, slip op. at 

1 (STB served Nov. 14, 2024). Applicants state that 

they have filed the application in this proceeding 

based on the presumption that the approval and 

authority in Docket No. MCF 21123 would become 

effective and the transactions described there will 

be consummated. (Appl. 2 n.3.) The Board’s 

approval and authority in Docket No. MCF 21123 

became effective on December 31, 2024. Regan, 

MCF 21123, slip op. at 1. 

4Applicants note that, in Docket No. MCF 21123, 

Holdings was referred to as ‘‘MNC Holding 

Company’’ and ‘‘Parent, LLC,’’ while in this 

proceeding they refer to Holdings as ‘‘MNC 

Holdings, LP.’’ (Appl. 5.) Applicants state that, due 

to discussions that have taken place since the 

application in Regan was filed, there have been 

minor changes to the proposed corporate structure 

described in Regan. The Board finds that these 

differences are immaterial to the approval and 

authority granted in Regan and, therefore, no 

supplement or additional authority for those 

transactions is required. 

5Specifically, Applicants state that Holdings will 

hold 100% ownership of a to-be-formed Delaware 

limited liability company expected to be named 

MNC Intermediate Holdings, LLC, which in turn 

will hold 100% ownership of a to-be-formed 

Delaware limited liability company expected to be 

named MNC Group Parent, LLC, which in turn will 

hold 100% ownership of MNC Borrower, LLC, a 

Delaware limited liability company, which in turn 

will directly or indirectly hold 100% ownership of 

the Subject Carriers. (Appl. 4 n.7.) More 

information about the expected corporate structure 

of Holdings and its direct and indirect subsidiaries, 

including the seven Subject Carriers, is included in 

the application. (See id., Ex. 1.) Applicants note that 

the names and number of the Intermediate 

Companies differ from the description provided in 

Regan. (Id. at 5.) As explained above, supra note 4, 

the Board finds these differences to be immaterial 

to its approval and authorization in Regan.
