SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Disability Process Reengineering Team of 
the Social Security Administration (SSA) published a notice on April 
15, 1994 (59 FR 18188) that announced a proposal to redesign the 
disability
claims process for Social Security Disability Insurance and 
Supplemental Security Income Disability and Blindness benefits. This 
notice provided for a comment period that ended May 27, 1994. Although 
the Proposal was available to the employees of SSA and State Disability 
Determination Services on April 1, it was not widely available to 
members of the general public until the April 15 publication in the 
Federal Register. Due to the importance of these issues, we believe a 
longer comment period is appropriate. Therefore, we are extending the 
comment period to June 14, 1994. The comments will be weighed in the 
Agency's subsequent decisions on implementation.

    Dated: May 23, 1994.
Rhoda M. G. Davis,
Director, Process Reengineering Program.
