Title: Ensuring Program Uniformity at the Hearing and Appeals Council Levels of the Administrative Review Process (3839P) 
Abstract:

We propose to revise our rules to make our procedures consistent nationwide. We plan to change parts 404, 405, and 416 regarding administrative law judge hearings and the Appeals Council review. We proposed revisions to: the time-frame for notifying claimants; the information in our hearing notices; the period when we require claimants to submit written evidence, written statements, objections and subpoena requests;  and the manner by which the Appeals Council will consider additional evidence.
