Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Request

    In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C 
3507), SSA is providing notice of its information collections that 
require submission to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). 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 on ways to minimize burden on 
respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology.
    The information collections listed below will be submitted to OMB 
within 60 days from the date of this notice. Therefore, comments and 
recommendations regarding the information collections would be most 
useful if received by the Agency within 60 days from the date of the 
publication of this notice. Comments should be directed to the SSA 
Reports Clearance Officer at the address listed at the end of the 
notice. You can obtain a copy of the collection instruments by calling 
the SSA Reports Clearance Officer on (410) 965-4145, or by writing to 
him.

NEW. The information collected is used by SSA to determine entitlement 
to retirement insurance benefits. Currently, applicants for retirement 
insurance benefits complete an SSA-1 by telephone or in person with the

over the Internet.

Authentication, is used by the Social Security Administration to 
identify its customers who are requesting Privacy Act protected 
information. The respondents are members of the public who request 
services from SSA through the Internet.
