This information collection is approved through 12-92 under the following condition: SSA will reevaluate the burden estimate. OMB has received a number of complaints that the SSA estimate of 30 minutes dramatically underestimates the time it takes applicants to complete the form. In addition, OMB notes that SSA's did not adequately describe changes in the burden under item 14 of the "Justification". Future submissions must thoroughly describe changes in burden due to form changes, and may not be included in an addendum. Any future packages that fail to substantiate burden changes in the overall submission will be returned.
