AGENCY: Social Security Administration (SSA).

ACTION: Notice of a modified system of records.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, we are issuing 
public notice of our intent to modify our existing systems of records 
listed below under the System Name and Number section. This notice 
publishes details of the modified systems as set forth below under the 
caption, SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION.

DATES: The system of records notice (SORN) is applicable upon its 
publication in today's Federal Register, with the exception of the new 
routine use, which is effective March 28, 2024.
    We invite public comment on the addition of the routine use. In 
accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, we are providing the public a 
30-day period in which to submit comments. Therefore, please submit any 
comments by March 28, 2024.

ADDRESSES: The public, Office of Management and Budget (OMB), and 
Congress may comment on this publication by writing to the Executive 
Director, Office of Privacy and Disclosure, Office of the General

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Recognizing that representatives sometimes 
work on behalf of and receive a salary from an entity when performing 
services for an individual filing for and receiving benefits, we are 
modifying an existing routine use in the Attorney Fee File (60-0003) 
and establishing a new routine use in the Claims Folders System (60-
0089) to reflect the following:

    To a representative (current or former) or the entity with which 
the representative has affiliated through registration, to the 
extent necessary to dispose of a fee petition or fee agreement or 
resolve other fee related issues in claims-related matters, but not 
to include pre-decisional deliberative documents, such as analyses 
and recommendations prepared for the decision-maker.
