This information
collection is approved through 4-96 under the following condition:
OMB will make a single exception to the paperwork burden statement
requirement, and allow SSA to remove the statement from this
collection. OMB receives 100's of these applications a year,
erroneously sent to our address. As it appears that applicants
often do not know where to send the form, SSA will add a statement
instructing applicants to send the form to their nearest SSA office
which can be found in the Telephone Directory.
