At present, the Disability Service Improvement (DSI) process will only be available in the Boston region. SSA agrees to submit a change worksheet (OMB Form 83-C) to account for the burden increase once DSI is rolled out in more regions. If more substantive changes beyond a simple burden increase are necessary, SSA will submit a revised information collection package (OMB Form 83-I)for OMB review.
Within one month of OMB approval, SSA also agrees to submit a change worksheet (OMB Form 83-C) to correspondingly reduce the burden for the SSA-561 (0960-0622).

The respondents are applicants for DIB or SSI who received an initial medical denial notice and are requesting a review by a Federal reviewing official.
