Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection 
Requests

    In compliance with Public Law 104-13, the Paperwork Reduction Act 
of 1995, SSA is providing notice of its information collection 
package(s) that will require submission to the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB). Following is an information collection package for which 
we are seeking an extension of the OMB approval:
    Annual Registration Statement Identifying Separated Participants 
with Deferred Benefits, Schedule SSA--0960-0556. Schedule SSA is a form 
filed annually with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) by pension plan 
administrators as part of a series of pension plan documents required 
by Section 6057 of the IRS Code. IRS forwards Schedule SSA to the 
Social Security Administration, which maintains it until a claim for 
social security benefits has been approved. At that time, SSA notifies 
the beneficiary of his/her potential eligibility for private plan 
benefits.
    Number of Respondents: 107,174.
    Frequency of Response: 1.
    Average Burden Per Response: 17 minutes.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 30,366 hours.
    Written comments and recommendations regarding the information 
collection(s) should be sent within 60 days from the date of this 
publication, directly to the SSA Reports Clearance Officer at the 
following address: Social Security Administration, DCFAM, Attn: 
Frederick W. Brickenkamp, 6401 Security Blvd., 1-A-21 Operations Bldg., 
Baltimore, MD 21235.
    In addition to your comments on the accuracy of the agency's burden 
estimate, we are soliciting comments on the need for the information; 
its practical utility; ways to enhance its quality, utility and 
clarity; and on ways to minimize burden on respondents, including the 
use of automated
