    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 104-13, the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, effective October 1, 1995. This notice 
includes revisions of OMB-approved information collections.
    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, email, or fax your 
comments and recommendations on the information collection(s) to the 
OMB Desk Officer and SSA Reports Clearance Officer at the following 
addresses or fax numbers.
    (OMB), Office of Management and Budget, Attn: Desk Officer for SSA,

    I. The information collections below are pending at SSA. SSA will

    1. Agreement to Sell Property--20 CFR 416.1240--416.1245--0960-
0127. Individuals or couples who are otherwise eligible for 
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments but whose resources exceed 
the allowable limit may receive conditional payments if they agree to 
dispose of the excess non-liquid resources and make repayments. SSA 
uses Form SSA-8060-U3 to document this agreement, and to ensure the 
individuals understand their

obligations. Respondents are applicants for and recipients of SSI 
payments who will be disposing of excess non-liquid resources.
    Type of Request: Revision of an OMB-approved information 
collection.

    2. Epidemiological Research Report--20 CFR 401.165--0960-0701. 
Section 311 of the Social Security Independence and Program 
Improvements Act of 1994 directs SSA to support health researchers 
involved in epidemiological research. Specifically, when we determine a 
study contributes to a national health interest, SSA furnishes 
information to determine if a study subject appears in SSA 
administrative records as alive or deceased (vital status). SSA charges 
a small fee per request for providing this information. Web-posted 
questions solicit the information SSA needs to provide the data and to 
collect the fees. The respondents are qualified health and scientific 
researchers who are applying to receive vital status information about 
individuals from Social Security administrative data records.
    Type of Request: Revision of an OMB-approved information 
collection.

    II. SSA submitted the information collection below to OMB for 
clearance. Your comments regarding the information collection would be 
most useful if OMB and SSA receive them 30 days from the date of this 
publication. To be sure we consider your comments, we must receive them 
no later than October 15, 2013. Individuals can obtain copies of the 
OMB clearance package by writing to [email protected].
    Disability Report--Child--20 CFR 416.912--0960-0577. Sections 
223(d)(5)(A) and 1631(e)(1) of the Social Security Act (Act) require 
SSI claimants to furnish medical and other evidence to prove they are 
disabled. SSA uses Form SSA-3820 to collect various types of 
information about a child's condition from treating sources or other 
medical sources of evidence. State Disability Determination Services 
evaluators use the information from Form SSA-3820 to develop medical 
and school evidence, and to assess the alleged disability. The 
information, together with medical evidence, forms the evidentiary 
basis upon which SSA makes its initial disability evaluation. The 
respondents are claimants seeking SSI childhood disability payments.
    Type of Request: Revision of an OMB-approved information 
collection.
