information collections. 

SSA is soliciting comments on the 

accuracy of the agency’s burden 

estimate; the need for the information;

quality, utility, and clarity; and ways to 

minimize burden on respondents, 

including the use of automated 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology. Mail, email, or

I. The information collections below 

are pending at SSA. SSA will submit 

them to OMB within 60 days from the 

date of this notice. To be sure we 

consider your comments, we must 

receive them no later than November 26, 

2010. Individuals can obtain copies of 

the collection instruments by calling the 

SSA Reports Clearance Officer at 410– 

965–8783 or by writing to the above 

email address. 

1. State Mental Institution Policy 

Review Booklet—20 CFR 404.2035, 

404.2065, 416.635, & 416.665—0960– 

0110. SSA uses the information 

collected on Form SSA–9584–BK to 

determine whether: (1) The policies and 

practices of a state mental institution 

acting as a representative payee for SSA 

beneficiaries conform to SSA’s 

regulations regarding the use of benefits 

and payments; and (2) the institution is 

performing other duties and 

responsibilities required of 

representative payees. SSA also uses the 

information as the basis for conducting 

onsite reviews of the institution and 

preparing subsequent reports of 

findings. The respondents are state 

mental institutions serving as 

representative payees for Social Security 

beneficiaries and Supplemental Security 

Income recipients. 

Type of Request: Revision of an OMBapproved information collection. 

Number of Respondents: 88. 

Frequency of Response: 1. 

Average Burden per Response: 60 

minutes. 

Estimated Annual Burden: 88 hours. 

2. Employee Identification 

Statement—20 CFR 404.702—0960– 

0473. When two or more individuals 

report earnings under the same Social 

Security number (SSN), SSA collects 

information on the SSA–4156 so we can 

credit earnings to the correct individual 

and the correct SSN. We send this form 

to the employer to identify the 

employees involved, to resolve the 

discrepancy, and to post earnings to the 

correct SSN. The respondents are 

employers involved in erroneous wage 

information reporting for an employee. 

Type of Request: Revision of an OMBapproved information collection. 

Number of Respondents: 4,750. 

Frequency of Response: 1. 

Average Burden per Response: 10 

minutes. 

Estimated Annual Burden: 792 hours. 

II. SSA has submitted the information 

collections listed below to OMB for 

clearance. Your comments on the 

information collections would be most 

useful if OMB and SSA receive them 

within 30 days from the date of this 

publication. To be sure we consider 

your comments, we must receive them 

no later than October 27, 2010. You can 

obtain a copy of the OMB clearance 

packages by calling the SSA Reports 

Clearance Officer at 410–965–8783 or by 

writing to the above email address. 

1. Requests for Self-Employment 

Information, Employee Information, 

Employer Information—20 CFR 

422.120—0960–0508. SSA collects 

information on the SSA–L2765, SSA– 

L3365, and SSA–L4002 to credit the 

reported earnings to the proper earnings 

record. When SSA cannot identify Form 

W–2 wage data for an individual, we 

place the data in the earnings suspense 

file and send one of the forms cited 

above to the employee (and in certain 

instances to the employer) to obtain the 

correct name and SSN. If the respondent 

furnishes the name and SSN 

information that agrees with SSA’s 

records, or provides information that 

resolves the discrepancy, SSA adds the 

reported earnings to the respondent’s 

Social Security record. While SSA does 

not require respondents to provide the 

information to keep a benefit, if they do 

not furnish the missing or corrected 

information, we cannot credit the wages 

or self-employment income to the 

proper earnings record. The respondents 

are self-employed individuals and 

employees whose name and SSN 

information do not agree with SSA’s 

records and their employers. 

Note: This is a correction notice. When 

SSA published the 60-day Federal Register 

Notice for this collection on May 13, 2010 at 

75 FR 27036, the burden figures we reported 

were correct at that time. However, we have 

since received updated burden data (the 

addition of the DECOR Notice category), 

which we are reporting in the new burden 

chart below.

2. Beneficiary Recontact Report—20 

CFR 404.703 and 404.705—0960–0536. 

Studies show that payees of children 

receiving Social Security benefits who 

marry fail to report the marriage. 

Therefore, SSA periodically determines 

eligibility for benefits for children ages 

15 through 17 by asking for information 

about marital status using the SSA– 

1587–OCR–SM. SSA uses the 

information to detect overpayments and 

avoid continuing payment to those no

NHTSA published a request for 

comment on one collection of

OMB approval (75 FR 54217). This

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

September 3, 2010, NHTSA published a 

request for comment on one collection 

of information for which it intends to 

seek OMB approval (75 FR 54217). That 

notice explained that to further 

NHTSA’s development of a national tire 

fuel efficiency consumer information 

program required under the Energy 

Independence and Security Act of 

2007,1 NHTSA is proposing a multiphased consumer research project and is 

currently requesting comment on the 

first phase of that research, which will 

consist of qualitative focus group market 

research. This notice elaborates on some 

specific areas NHTSA is requesting 

comment on that were not mentioned in 

the original notice. These areas are focus 

group location, testing for the impact of 

basing a tire fuel efficiency rating on 

rolling resistance coefficient (RRC) vs. 

rolling resistance force (RRF), and 

testing for the recognition of existing 

labeling. 

NHTSA notes that comments have 

already been sought on and a public 

meeting has already been held on a draft 

research plan for the consumer research 

that is the subject of this collection of 

information.2 The relevance and 

poignancy of stakeholders’ comments 

may be enhanced by reviewing that 

draft research plan and comments 

received in response to the draft 

research plan and public meeting.
