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 (Pub. L.) 
104-13, the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, effective October 1, 1995. 
This notice includes revisions 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 the 
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 the SSA Reports Clearance Officer to the 
addresses or fax numbers shown below: (OMB) Office of Management and 
Budget, Attn: Desk Officer for SSA, Fax: 202-395-6974, E-mail address:

[email protected].
    SSA has submitted the information collection we list below to OMB 
for clearance. Your comments on the information collection 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 August 19, 2009. You can obtain a copy of the OMB 
clearance package by calling the SSA Reports Clearance Officer at 410-
965-3758 or by writing to the above e-mail address.

Integrated Registration Services (IRES) System--20 CFR 401.45--0960-
0626

    The IRES System verifies the identity of individuals, businesses, 
organizations, entities, and government agencies to use SSA's eService 
Internet and telephone applications for requesting and exchanging 
business data with SSA. The requestor provides information, prescribed 
by SSA, to establish his or her identity. Once SSA verifies identity, 
IRES will issue the requestor a user identification number (User ID) 
and a password to conduct business with SSA. Respondents are employers 
and third party submitters of wage data, business entities providing 
taxpayer identification information, and data exchange partners 
conducting business in support of SSA programs.
    Type of Request: Revision of an OMB-approved information 
collection.
