Abstract:
The SSA-9308 and SSA-9308 serves as cover letters to request evidence or request a signed Form SSA-2935-U3 Authorization to the Social Security Administration to Obtain Personal Information" from the applicant/parent/guardian/custodian of record. We are making minor changes to the forms SSA-9308 and SSA-9310. 1)We are changing Form SSA-9308 to SSA-L2937. We are also removing reference to the 1-800 numbers, because several regional reviewers' toll-free numbers are not 800 numbers. The change will allow regional reviewers to type their specific toll-free number without making strikeouts in the letter. 2)We are changing Form SSA-9310 to SSA-L2938. We are also removing reference to the 1-800 numbers, because several regional reviewers' toll-free numbers are not 800 numbers. The change will allow regional reviewers to type their specific toll-free number without making strikeouts in the letter.

Short Statement:
The decrease in the burden is due to the fluctuation in the number of annual respondents. SSA bases our estimates on systematic data, and we estimate the numbers accordingly. In addition, we needed to revise this Information Collection Request to show the categories listed in the chart above (see #12). These categories have not changed since the last time we received approval; however, we inadvertently did not create separate ICs for each one. Therefore, we added several ICs to this request to accommodate each line of the chart. The increase in the cost burden estimate is due to fluctuations in costs, and inflation rates.
Annual Cost to Federal Government:
$62,832,000
