The agency made clarifying edits to the supporting statement. When the agency seeks triannual renewal of this information collection, it will ensure that it provides a business process for respondents to electronically submit payment. It can consider, for example, accepting payment through a separate or third-party payment tool (e.g. pay.gov) and provide respondents to this form the ability to transcribe the unique confirmation number correspondent to the pay.gov payment to facilitate validation of the payment. If the agency determines it is incapable of facilitating web-based payments, it will provide a memo to the OIRA Administrator, signed by a Deputy Commissioner, that addresses the following factors: 1) The specific business process that prohibit the agency from using an internal or third-party payment processor. This will include describing the role, responsibility, and permissions of each individual who would be involved in processing this form. 2) Whether there are (and what are the) technical or information technology limitations that prevent the agency from processing electronic information. 3) Whether accepting handwritten credit card information reflects financial information best practices and is consistent with both government and industry standards related to protecting and processing financial information, with specific reference to the relevant industry or government standards (and a fact-specific explanation as to why this form satisfies these standards). 4) An estimation of the cost of developing a business process or information technology system for accepting online payment. 5) Any pain points or limitations imposed by other agencies that are inhibiting the agency from pursuing, in a timely manner, the updates required under these terms of clearance. If, no earlier than 12 months after this ICR is approved, SSA perceives it cannot satisfy the requirements of these terms of clearance due to limitations that are related to another agency's policies or technical requirements, the agency will coordinate a meeting between OMB, SSA, and the other relevant agency.
