SSA employees and contractors with a qualifying medical condition who park at SSA-owned and -leased facilities may receive a medical parking permit. SSA uses three forms as part of this program: form SSA-3192, the Application and Statement (the person seeking the permit completes this when they first apply for the medical parking space); form SSA-3193, the Physician's Report (the applicant's physician completes this to verify the medical condition); and form SSA-3194, the Renewal Certification (medical parking permit holders complete this to verify their continued need for the permit). The respondents are SSA employees and contractors seeking medical parking permits and their physicians.
The public reporting burden increased from 144 to 380 burden hours. This increase was caused by 1) the addition of form SSA-3193 (previously, only SSA employeesâ physicians were included in this ICR) and 2) the addition of form SSA-3194, which is a new form. Please note there is no real burden reduction, but because we switched form SSA-3192 from the physicians to the contractors, which are a much lower group, ROCIS makes it seem there is a reduction.
