and to determine how much (if any) of 

a foreign pension may be used to reduce 

or increase the amount of Social 

Security Special Veterans retirement 

benefits. The respondents will complete 

the SSA–2010 biannually so SSA can 

determine if benefits should be 

increased, decreased, suspended, or 

terminated, based on the data collected. 

The respondents are beneficiaries 

receiving Social Security Special 

Veterans retirement benefits.

questionnaires, focus groups, and 

customer comment cards. The purpose 

of these questionnaires is to assess 

customer satisfaction with the 

timeliness, appropriateness, access, and 

overall quality of existing SSA services 

and proposed modifications/new 

versions of services. The respondents 

are recipients of SSA services (including 

most members of the public), 

professionals, and individuals who 

work on behalf of SSA beneficiaries.

2. Youth Transition Process 

Demonstration Evaluation Data 

Collection—0960–0687. 

Background 

The purpose of the Youth Transition 

Demonstration (YTD) project is to help 

young people with disabilities make the 

transition from school to work. While 

participating in the project, youth can 

continue to work and/or continue their 

education because SSA waives certain 

disability program rules and offers 

services to youth who are receiving 

disability benefits or have a high 

probability of receiving them. We are 

currently implementing YTD projects in 

eight sites across the country. The 

evaluation will produce empirical 

evidence on the effects of the waivers 

and project services including 

educational attainment, employment, 

earnings, and receipt of benefits by 

youth with disabilities, but also on the 

Social Security Trust Fund and Federal 

income tax revenues. This project is 

authorized by Sections 1110 and 234 of 

the Social Security Act. 

Project Description 

Given the importance of estimating 

YTD effects as accurately as possible, 

we will evaluate the project using 

rigorous analytic methods based on 

randomly assigning youth to a treatment 

or control group. We will conduct 

several data collections. These include 

(1) baseline interviews with youth and 

their parents or guardians prior to 

random assignment; (2) follow-up 

interviews at 12 and 36 months after 

random assignment; (3) interviews and/ 

or roundtable discussions with local 

program administrators, program 

supervisors, and service delivery staff; 

and (4) focus groups of youths, their 

parents, and service providers. The 

respondents are youths with disabilities 

enrolled in the project; their parents or 

guardians; program staff; and service 

providers.

existing OMB Clearance.

3. The Mental Health Treatment 

Study (MHTS)—0960–0726. 

Background 

Because of advances in medical 

treatment, assistive devices, changes in 

the way we view those with disabilities, 

and legislation designed to assure access 

to employment, SSA is taking on an 

increasingly active role in assisting 

Social Security disability beneficiaries 

who want to return to work. As a result, 

SSA developed the MHTS under 

Section 234 of the Social Security Act 

(42 U.S.C. 434), which gives the 

Commissioner of Social Security the 

authority to carry out experiments and 

demonstration projects designed to 

determine the relative advantages and 

disadvantages of interventions that 

facilitate a beneficiary’s return to work. 

Part of the agency’s role involves 

finding ways to promote work and 

increase independence among disability 

beneficiaries. SSA received additional 

support for this study in February 2001, 

through President Bush’s New Freedom 

Initiative-a comprehensive program 

whose primary goal is to promote the 

full participation of individuals with 

disabilities in all areas of society. The 

aim of the initiative is to help 

Americans with disabilities by 

increasing their access to effective 

technologies, expanding educational 

opportunities, increasing the ability of 

Americans with disabilities to integrate 

into the workforce, and promoting 

increased access into daily community 

life. This initiative provided SSA with 

the support that will enable 

beneficiaries to maximize their selfsufficiency and potentially enter or 

reenter the workforce. 

MHTS Collection 

The MHTS implemented a 

randomized trial study that will 

evaluate the effect of the intervention on 

employment and functional outcomes 

for SSDI beneficiaries with a primary 

mental impairment of schizophrenia or 

affective disorder. SSA is currently 

implementing the MHTS in 22 

demonstration sites across the United 

States, with one site having two 

locations. The study participants are 

SSDI beneficiaries with varying clinical 

and demographic characteristics, 

employment histories, and, sometimes, 

additional medical impairments. The 

study design has two arms: treatment 

(special services), and control (regular 

services) groups. SSA randomly 

assigned study participants to the 

treatment or control group. Each 

treatment or control recipient will 

participate for a total of 24 months 

following enrollment. The treatment 

intervention activities include the 

following: diagnostic psychiatric 

assessment, comprehensive medical 

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 96 / Wednesday, May 20, 2009 / Notices 23767 

assessment, systematic medication 

management, supporting employment, 

individualized clinical treatment, 

supplemental health insurance, 

coordination and payment of recipients’ 

claims, as well as quality assurance 

mechanisms and adherence to treatment 

guidelines, with subsequent training to 

improve deficiencies as identified. 

The comprehensive assessment of the 

MHTS outcomes will identify which, if 

any, of the interventions resulted in 

successful employment and functioning 

outcomes, and identify the 

characteristics of the interventions that 

contributed to the success. This 

information enables SSA to develop 

better ways to improve services to 

current and future recipients. SSA also 

uses this information to guide any 

potential changes to program rules to 

allow for better coordination among 

other Federal and state programs.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. General 

The Computer Matching and Privacy 

Protection Act of 1988 (Pub. L. 100– 

503), amended the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 

552a) by describing the conditions 

under which computer matching 

involving the Federal government could 

be performed and adding certain 

protections for individuals applying for 

and receiving Federal benefits. Section 

7201 of the Omnibus Budget 

Reconciliation Act of 1990 (Pub. L. 101– 

508) further amended the Privacy Act 

regarding protections for such 

individuals. 

The Privacy Act, as amended, 

regulates the use of computer matching 

by Federal agencies when records in a 

system of records are matched with 

other Federal, State, or local government 

records. It requires Federal agencies 

involved in computer matching 

programs to: 

(1) Negotiate written agreements with 

the other agency or agencies 

participating in the matching programs; 

(2) Obtain the approval of the 

matching agreement by the Data
