disability claims; occupational analysis, including definitions,
ratings and capture of physical and mental/cognitive demands of work
and other occupational information critical to SSA disability programs;
data collection; use of 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.
