This ICR is
approved consistent with the 12-19-07 memo and the agreed-upon
revisions to the instrument to minimize respondent burden. Although
this ICR has undergone numerous revisions in the past, the
revisions have not been substantive enough to make previous
editions obsolete. As per the 12-19-07 memo, previous versions of
this form continue to be used until the stock is used up. For this
reason, SSA is not required to print the expiration date for the
OMB control number on these forms. However, should this form
undergo more substantive changes in the future, SSA agrees to
consider printing the expiration date on the forms.

The Disability Report-Adult collects
medical and other evidence which is used to determine whether an
adult's impairment is disabling, and consequently, if that adult is
entitled to Title II and/or Title XVI disability payments from the
Social Security Administration. The information can be collected
through the following ways: a paper form, in an SSA field office,
an Internet version, and a new Internet version designed to be
completed by professional advocacy groups. The respondents are
adult disability applicants or their representatives.
There is an increase in the
public reporting burden since this was last approved by OMB. The
change is due to several factors. A major factor is that we have
been able to compile more accurate data since we prepared the
previous Supporting Statement. Other factors are increased use of
the EDCS 3368, i3368 and i3368-PRO, and the additional time it
takes respondents to use the i3368 and i3368-PRO over the time it
takes for use of the EDCS 3368 and paper SSA-3368.
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.
