The information collected on the SSA-3380-BK is needed to make determinations on SSI and SSDI disability claims. This information is necessary for case development and adjudication, and is used by State Disability Determination Services evaluators as an evidentiary source used in the disability evaluation process. The respondents are third parties familiar with the functional limitations (or lack thereof) of claimants who apply for Social Security benefits and Supplemental Security Income disability payments.
We have doubled the estimated burden hours due to the receipt of public comments over the past three years which stated that 30 minutes (our previous estimate of completion time) was not sufficient time to complete the form. We have received no public comments due to the publication of the Federal Register Notices listed above. We are also revising the form to collect information about the functional effects of a claimant's illnesses, injuries, or conditions related to symptoms on their activities and abilities.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
