Abstract:
The IRES System registers and authenticates individuals, businesses, organizations, entities and government agencies to use the eService Internet and telephone applications for requesting and exchanging business data with SSA, and issues them a User Identification Number (User ID) and a Password. This process will verify the identity of individuals who use SSAs Business Services Online. Respondents are employers and third party submitters of wage data, business entities providing tax payer identification information and data exchange partners conducting business in support of SSA programs. This is an IT Mod Change Request to enhance the security of the services behind the IRES authentication system.

Short Statement:
We are adjusting the reporting burden to this information collection because customers will no longer register through IRES for the Electronic Wage Report and Social Security Number Verification Service applications. We estimate we need to remove 408,357 respondents as Internet Requestors for these services, as we anticipate those users will need to register and use SSA's Public Credentialing and Authentication Process (OMB No. 0960-0789) to access these services instead.
