extension(s) of the current OMB approval(s) or are proposed new 
collection(s):
    1. Notice Regarding Substitution of Party Upon Death of Claimant--
Reconsideration of Disability Cessation--0960-0351. The Social Security

process for an individual who has died. The respondents are such 
parties.
    Number of Respondents: 1,200.
    Frequency of Response: 1.
