SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION


Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Request

    The Social Security Administration (SSA) publishes a list of 
information collection packages requiring clearance by the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) in compliance with Public Law (Pub. L.) 
104-13, the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, effective October 1, 1995. 
This notice covers a collection in use without an OMB number.
    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 ways to minimize burden 
on respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology. Mail, e-mail, or fax your 
comments and recommendations on the information collection to the OMB 
Desk Officer and

[[Page 4607]]

the SSA Reports Clearance Officer to the following addresses or fax 
numbers.

(OMB), Office of Management and Budget, Attn: Desk Officer for SSA, 
Fax: 202-395-6974, E-mail address: [email protected].
(SSA), Social Security Administration, DCBFM, Attn: Reports Clearance 
Officer, 1340 Annex Building, 6401 Security Blvd., Baltimore, MD 21235, 
Fax: 410-965-8783, E-mail address: [email protected].

    The information collection below is pending at SSA. SSA will submit 
it to OMB within 60 days from the date of this notice. To be sure we 
consider your comments, we must receive them no later than March 29, 
2010. Individuals can obtain copies of the collection instrument by 
calling the SSA Reports Clearance Officer or by writing to the above e-
mail address.
    Centenarian Project Development Worksheets: Face-to-Face Interview; 
Telephone Interview; Third Party Contact; Unable To Locate--20 CFR 
416.204(b) and 422.135--0960-NEW. SSA is conducting interviews with 
centenary beneficiaries age 103 and older to assess: (1) If the 
beneficiaries are still living; (2) to prevent fraud, through either 
identity misrepresentation or representative payee misuse of funds; and 
(3) to assess the well-being of the beneficiaries. SSA's San Francisco 
field offices are currently using this survey and we intend to expand 
its use to all other SSA field offices. Field office personnel obtain 
the information through one-time, in-person interviews with 
centenarians. During the interview, SSA employees will make overall 
observations of the centenarian and their representative payee (if 
applicable). The interviewer will use the appropriate Centenarian 
Development Worksheet as a guide for the interview and to document 
findings. SSA will conduct the interview one time only at the 
beneficiary's residence or over the phone if a site visit is not 
possible. Refusal of the interview will not result in the suspension of 
the centenarian's payments. Respondents are Supplemental Security 
Income recipients or Social Security beneficiaries 103 years old or 
older, their representative payees, or caregivers.
    Type of Request: Existing information collection in use without an 
OMB number.
    Number of Respondents: 14,000.
    Frequency of Response: 1.
    Average Burden per Response: 15 minutes.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 3,500 hours.

    Dated: January 22, 2010.

Acting Reports Clearance Officer, Social Security Administration.
