Title: Representation of Parties (3396P) 
Abstract: We are proposing several revisions to our rules on Representation of Parties. These proposed rules would recognize entities as representatives, mandate the use of Form 1696 to appoint or revoke the appointment of a representative, define the roles of a principal representative and a professional representative, require professional representatives to file Form 1696 electronically, and require a representative to keep paper copies of certain documents that we may require. We are proposing these revisions to reflect changes in representatives' business practices and to become more efficient in processing claims for benefits.
