Title: ●Expiration Date Extension for Musculoskeletal Body System Listing (3539F) 
Abstract: This final rule extends the expiration date for the Musculoskeletal System Listing of Impairments until February 18, 2011. We use the body system listings at the third step of the sequential evaluation process when we evaluate a claim for disability benefits under title II and title XVI of the Social Security Act. This extension will ensure that we continue to have the medical evaluation criteria in the listings needed to adjudicate disability claims. Other than extending the effective date, we have not revised the listing.
