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 collection listed below will be submitted to OMB 
within 60 days from the date of this notice. Therefore, comments and 
recommendations regarding the information collection 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 instrument by calling 
the SSA Reports Clearance Officer on (410) 965-4145, or by writing to 
him.
    Internet Retirement Insurance Benefit (IRIB) Application--0960-
0618. SSA intends to offer its customers another way to apply for 
retirement insurance benefits. Currently, applicants for retirement 
insurance benefits complete an SSA-1 by telephone or in person with the 
assistance of an SSA employee. The IRIB application will enable 
individuals to complete the application on their own electronically 
over the Internet. The information collected will be used by SSA to 
determine entitlement to retirement insurance benefits. SSA plans to 
implement the IRIB application nationally later this year. The 
respondents are individuals who apply for retirement insurance benefits 
over the Internet.
    Number of Respondents: 139,308.
    Frequency of Response: 1.
    Average Burden Per Response: 20 minutes.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 46,436 hours.
