Title: Permit Department of State and the Immigration and Naturalization Service To Collect Information Needed To Assign Social Security Numbers to Aliens (569P)
Abstract: Aliens will apply for social security cards at the same time they complete Immigration and Naturalization (INS) paperwork. Currently, alien applicants are required to furnish almost the same information to both SSA and INS. This one-stop service will reduce the potential for issuing social security cards based on fraudulent INS documents, and will result in efficiencies for the government.

Legal Authority: 42 USC 405 42 USC 1383

Statement of Need: This regulation is necessary to implement a Reinventing Government initiative.

Summary of the Legal Basis: These changes are not required by statute or court order.

Alternatives: None.

Anticipated Costs and Benefits: We will need to reimburse INS for the enumeration work they perform. We estimate that there is a 20 percent greater efficiency to the government if INS gathers the information to enumerate these applicants. After reimbursing INS, we expect to save approximately $13 million for the period 1998-2002.

Risks: At this time we have not identified any risks associated with the proposal.
