Title: ●Clarifications to Rules Governing the Implementation and Coverage of International Totalization Agreements (3552P) 
Abstract: We propose to amend our rules to make clear that we can accept foreign verification of records from totalization agreement countries. Additionally, we propose to clearly provide that a determination of whether to issue a certificate of coverage under international totalization agreements is not an initial determination subject to further administrative review. These clarifications would conform our regulations to our agreements and long-standing operational policies and practices.
