Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 91 / Wednesday, May 13, 2009 / Notices 22623 

occupational information in SSA’s 

disability programs; and any other 

area(s) that would enable SSA to 

develop an occupational information 

system suited to its disability programs 

and improve the medical-vocational 

adjudication policies and processes. 

Agenda: The Panel will meet on 

Wednesday, June 10, 2009, from 8:30 

a.m.until 5 p.m. (CDT) and Thursday, 

June 11, 2009, from 8:30 a.m. until 12 

p.m. (CDT). The agenda will be 

available on the Internet at http:// 

www.socialsecurity.gov/oidap/ one 

week prior to the meeting. 

The tentative agenda for this meeting 

includes: Presentations by stakeholder 

organizations for the purpose of 

identifying perceived gaps that 

currently exist between the 

occupational information available in 

the DOT and that is believed necessary 

to adjudicate claims in SSA’s disability 

programs to ensure a proper assessment 

of the claimants’ abilities to do their 

past work and, if not, their abilities to 

do any other work in the economy given 

the claimants’ work histories and the 

physical, mental, or cognitive 

limitations resulting from claimants’ 

impairments. There will be discussion 

and identification of areas where 

additional or new occupational 

information is needed, for example, as 

it relates to the physical or mental 

demands of work, educational 

requirements of work, work settings, 

and work skills. The Panel will hear 

presentations on taxonomic issues and 

proposed methodologies for developing 

a classification system. The Panel will 

discuss and deliberate on issues 

relevant to the Panel’s recommendations 

and hold an administrative business 

meeting. 

The Panel will hear public comment 

during the Quarterly Meeting on 

Wednesday, June 10, 2009, from 2:30 

p.m. to 3:30 p.m. (CDT). Members of the 

public must schedule a time slot— 

assigned on a first come, first served 

basis—in order to comment. In the event 

public comment does not take the entire 

time allotted, the Panel may use any 

remaining time to deliberate or conduct 

other Panel business.

testimony in person at the meeting or

Panel staff by e-mail to OIDAP@ssa.gov.
