Abstract: For some sections in the proposed rule, we previously accounted for the public reporting burdens under the following OMB approved information collections: 0960-0527 (SSA 1696, Appointment of Representative, which allows an individual to appoint a representative, and requires the representative’s agreement to serve as representative), 0960-0731 (SSA-1694, Request for Business Entity Taxpayer Information, which requests specific taxpayer data from representatives requesting a fee), and 0960 0732 (SSA-1699, Registration for Appointed Representative Services and Direct Payment, which requires the representatives to prove eligibility when they register with SSA and allows them to request a fee). However, the proposed rule also introduces new public reporting burdens under sections 20 CFR 404.1707, 404.1720, 404.1730, 404.1735, 416.1507, 416.1520, 416.1530, and 416.1535. Therefore, we are accounting for those new burdens under this information collection request. The proposed rule will also require all representatives to register with SSA under sections 20 CFR 404.1705 and 416.1505, which will increase the burden for the SSA-1699 (0960 0732). Upon OMB’s approval of the final rule, we will incorporate these new burdens under the current OMB approvals for the associated information collections. Respondents are applicants for, or recipients of, Social Security disability benefits (SSDI); SSI payments; or anyone pursuing a benefit or invoking a right under SSA programs, who are notifying SSA they have appointed someone to represent them in their dealings with SSA; any non-attorney representatives who need to sign the form; as well as individuals revoking their appointment of representative, and their representatives’ withdrawal of their acceptance of an appointment.
