of 1995, SSA is providing notice of its information collection that 
requires 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.

for clearance. Written comments and recommendations on the information 
collection would be most useful if received within 30 days from the

Reports Clearance Officer and the OMB Desk Officer at the addresses 
listed after this publication. You can obtain a copy of the OMB
