Agency Information Collection Activities: Comment Request
The Social Security Administration (SSA) publishes a list of
information collection packages requiring clearance by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) in compliance with Public Law 104-13, the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, effective October 1, 1995. This notice
includes a revision and an extension to OMB-approved information
collections.
SSA is soliciting comments on the accuracy of the agency's burden
estimate; the need for the information; its practical utility; ways to
enhance its 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, e-mail, or fax your
comments and recommendations on the information collection(s) to the
OMB Desk Officer and SSA Reports Clearance Officer at the following
addresses or fax numbers.

SSA 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 April 4, 2011. 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 e-mail address.
1. Request for Social Security Earnings Information--20 CFR 404.810
and 401.100--0960-0525. The Social Security Act permits wage earners,
or their authorized representative, to request Social Security earnings
information from SSA using Form SSA-7050. SSA uses the information to
verify the requestor's right to access the information and to produce
the earnings statement. The respondents are wage earners and their
authorized representatives.
Type of Request: Revision of an OMB-approved information
collection.
Number of Respondents: 60,400.
Frequency of Response: 1.
Average Burden per Response: 11 minutes.
Estimated Annual Burden: 11,073 hours.
2. Methods for Conducting Personal Conferences When Waiver of
Recovery of a Title II or Title XVI Overpayment Cannot Be Approved--20
CFR 404.506(e)(3), 404.506(f)(8), 416.557(c)(3), and 416.557(d)(8)--
0960-0769. SSA conducts personal conferences when we cannot approve a
waiver of recovery of a title II or title XVI overpayment. Social
Security beneficiaries and Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
recipients have the right to request a waiver of recovery and
automatically schedule a personal conference if we cannot approve their
requests for waiver of overpayment. We conduct these conferences face-
to-face, by telephone, or by video teleconference.
Social Security beneficiaries and SSI recipients, or their
representatives, may provide documents to demonstrate they are without
fault in causing the overpayment and do not have the ability to repay
the debt. They may submit these documents with Form SSA-632 (OMB No.
0960-0037) Request for Waiver of Overpayment Recovery; Form SSA-795
(OMB No. 0960-0045), Statement of Claimant or Other Person; or personal
statement submitted by mail, telephone, personal contact, fax, or e-
mail. This information collection satisfies the request requirements
for waiver of recovery of an overpayment and allows individuals to
pursue an administrative appeal via personal conference. We use the
information to determine whether to grant or deny a waiver request.
Respondents are Social Security beneficiaries and SSI recipients or
their representatives seeking reconsideration of an SSA waiver
decision. Note: This is a correction notice. When SSA published the 60-
day Federal Register Notice for this collection on December 22, 2010 at
75 FR 80563, the burden figures we reported were correct at that time.
However, we have since received updated burden data that we are
reporting in the new burden chart below
