SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION
Agency Information Collection Activities: Comment 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 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 December 3, 2014. Individuals can obtain copies of the
OMB clearance package by writing to [email protected].
Application for a Social Security Number Card, and the Social
Security Number Application Process (SSNAP)--20 CFR 422.103-422.110--
0960-0066. SSA collects information on the SS-5 (used in the United
States) and SS-5-FS (used outside the United States) to issue original
or replacement Social Security cards. SSA also enters the application
data into the Social Security Number Application Process (SSNAP) when
applicants request a new or replacement card via telephone or in
person. In addition, hospitals collect the same information on SSA's
behalf for newborn children through the Enumeration-at-Birth process.
In this process, parents of newborns provide hospital birth
registration clerks with information required to register these
newborns. Hospitals send this information to State Bureaus of Vital
Statistics (BVS), and they send the information to SSA's National
Computer Center. SSA then uploads the data to the SSA mainframe along
with all other enumeration data, and we assign the newborn a Social
Security number (SSN) and issue a Social Security card. Respondents can
also use these modalities to request a change in their SSN records. The
respondents for this collection are applicants for original and
replacement Social Security cards, or individuals who wish to change
information in their SSN records, who use any of the modalities
described above.
Type of Request: Revision of an OMB-approved information
collection.
