Individuals requesting an original or
replacement Social Security Number (SSN) card must complete form
SS-5 (U.S. residents) or SS-5-FS (U.S. citizens living abroad).
Applicants for original or replacement cards must provide evidence
to establish their eligibility for the cards. The newly enacted
intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 is
limiting the number of allowable replacement cards; these forms
will be changed to reflect the new limits. Respondents are
applicants for new or replacement SSN cards.

with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).

the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:

(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
