Notice of Proposed Change in Magnetic Media Reporting
Specifications, for Submitters Who File Wage Reports Using Magnetic
Media or Electronic Filing
SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that SSA has developed proposed new
Magnetic Media Reporting and Electronic Filing Specifications (MMREF-1)
for submitters who file wage reports with SSA using Magnetic tape,
diskette, cartridge or electronic filing. MMREF-1 will replace existing
Technical Information Bulletins (TIB) 4, 5, 6 and 7. The MMREF-1
consists of a single record format to be used to report domestic or
territorial reports using magnetic media and electronic filing. A pilot
will be conducted for tax year 1998 reporting using selected
submitters. Beginning with tax year 1999 and over a several year
period, submitters will be required to transition to the MMREF-1
format.
We would like to receive any comments the public may offer on the
MMREF-1. An educational seminar on the MMREF-1 is scheduled to be held
at the SSA headquarters in Baltimore, Maryland, January 16, 1997, 9
a.m. to 12 p.m. To receive a draft copy of the MMREF-1 and/or to attend
the educational seminar contact the addressee below.
DATES: Comments on the MMREF-1 must be received on or before February
28, 1997.
Reservations for the seminar would be appreciated but are not
necessary by January 10, 1997.
ADDRESSES: To receive a draft and/or to make a reservation for the
seminar, contact Ed Bulson, Social Security Administration, Room 3-B-15
Operations Building, Baltimore, Maryland 21235 or fax at (410) 966-
