SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION

20 CFR Parts 401, 404, 416, 422, and 423

[Regulation Nos. 1, 4, 16, 22, and 23]
RIN 0960-AE32


Revision of Authority Citations

AGENCY: Social Security Administration.

ACTION: Final rule with request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The authority citations for the Social Security Administration 
(SSA) regulations are being revised. As of March 31, 1995, new 
regulatory authority was given to the Commissioner of Social Security 
by the Social Security Independence and Program Improvements Act of 
1994 (the Independence Act). The authority citations are being revised 
where appropriate to reflect this change in authority and other changes 
in the law to provide updated citations for the public.

DATES: This rule is effective February 15, 1996. We will consider any 
comments received no later than April 15, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Comments should be submitted in writing to the Commissioner 
of Social Security, P.O. Box 1585, Baltimore, MD 21235, sent by telefax 
to (410) 966-2830, sent by E-mail to ``[email protected]'', or 
delivered to the Division of Regulations and Rulings, Social Security 
Administration, 3-B-1 Operations Building, 6401 Security Boulevard, 
Baltimore, MD 21235, between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. on regular 
business days. Comments may be inspected during these same hours by 
making arrangements with the contact person shown below.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Daniel T. Bridgewater, Legal 
Assistant, Division of Regulations and Rulings, Social Security 
Administration, 6401 Security Boulevard, Baltimore, MD 21235, (410)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SSA is revising the statutory authority 
citations for the following parts under 20 CFR chapter III:
    1. Part 401--Disclosure of Official Records and Information;
    2. Part 404--Federal Old-Age, Survivors and Disability Insurance 
(1950-    );
    3. Part 416--Supplemental Security Income for the Aged, Blind, and 
Disabled;
    4. Part 422--Organization and Procedures; and
    5. Part 423--Service of Process.
    Prior to March 31, 1995, the general regulatory authority for SSA 
programs and administration was vested in the Secretary of Health and 
Human Services (the Secretary) and was based on section 1102 of the 
Social Security Act (the Act)(42 U.S.C. 1302). However, the 
Independence Act, Public Law 103-296, established the Social Security 
Administration as an independent agency in the Executive Branch of the 
Federal government and provided general regulatory authority effective 
March 31, 1995, in the Commissioner of Social Security (the 
Commissioner) in section 702(a)(5) of the Act (42 U.S.C. 902(a)(5)).
    Where current authority citations in parts 401, 404, 416, 422, and 
423 refer to the Secretary's authority, SSA is revising them to refer 
solely to the Commissioner's authority. SSA is also updating the 
citations to remove obsolete references and reflect changes in the law 
since the citations were last revised.

Regulatory Procedures

    Pursuant to section 702(a)(5) of the Act (42 U.S.C. 902(a)(5)), SSA 
follows the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) rulemaking procedures 
specified in 5 U.S.C. 553 in the development of its regulations. The 
APA provides exceptions to its prior notice and public comment 
procedures when an agency finds there is good cause for dispensing with 
such procedures on the basis that they are impracticable, unnecessary, 
or contrary to the public interest.
    We have determined that, under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), good cause 
exists for dispensing with the notice and public comment procedures in 
this case. Good cause exists because these are minor technical changes 
which make no substantive change in the regulations and have no effect 
on the public. Therefore, opportunity for prior comment is unnecessary, 
and we are issuing these changes to our regulations as a final rule.
    SSA is publishing these regulations as a final rule with a 60-day 
comment period. SSA will consider any timely comments and will revise 
and republish this rule if the public comments warrant.
    In addition, SSA is not providing a 30-day delay in the effective 
date of this final rule under 5 U.S.C. 553(d). This is not a 
substantive rule, and there is no change in policy. Accordingly, the 
requirements of 5 U.S.C. 553(d) are inapplicable.

Executive Order 12866

    SSA has consulted with the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
and determined that this final rule does not meet the criteria for a 
significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866. Thus, it was 
not subject to OMB review.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

    SSA certifies that this final rule will not have a significant 
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities since it 
makes no changes in policy. Therefore, a regulatory flexibility 
analysis as provided in Public Law 96-354, the Regulatory Flexibility 
Act, is not required.

Paperwork Reduction Act

    This final rule imposes no additional reporting or recordkeeping 
requirements subject to OMB clearance.
