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 104-13, the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, effective October 1, 1995. This notice 
includes a revision of an OMB-approved information collection.
    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, 
Fax: 202-395-6974, Email address: [email protected]
(SSA), Social Security Administration, OLCA, Attn: Reports Clearance 
Director, 3100 West High Rise, 6401 Security Blvd., Baltimore, MD 
21235, Fax: 410-966-2830, Email 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 August 22, 
2014. Individuals can obtain copies of the collection instrument by 
writing to the above email address.

Electronic Records Express--20 CFR 404.1512 and 416.912--0960-0753

    Electronic Records Express (ERE) is a web-based SSA program that 
allows medical and educational providers to electronically submit 
disability claimant data to SSA. Both medical providers and other third 
parties with connections to disability applicants or recipients (e.g., 
teachers and school administrators for child disability applicants) use 
this system once they complete the registration process. SSA employees 
and State agency employees request the medical and educational records 
collected through the ERE Web site. The agency uses the information 
collected through ERE to make a determination on an Application for 
Benefits. We also use the ERE Web site to order and receive 
consultative examinations when we are unable to collect enough medical 
records to determine disability findings. The respondents are medical 
providers who evaluate or treat disability claimants or recipients, and 
other third parties with connections to disability applicants or 
recipients (ex: Teachers and school administrators for child disability 
applicants), who voluntarily choose to use ERE for submitting 
information.
    Type of Request: Revision of an OMB-approved information 
collection.
