SSA uses Forms HA-1151 and HA-1152 to collect data that is required to determine the residual functional capacity (RFC) of individuals who are appealing denied claims for benefits based on disability. The RFC of an individual must be determined in cases where SSA cannot make a determination on a claim for benefits based on current work activity or on medical facts alone. The respondents are medical sources paid by SSA to provide reports based either on existing medical evidence or on consultative examinations conducted for the purposes of the report.
There are no changes in the public reporting burden. However, prior to ROCIS, SSA was unable to show the separate estimates for each form. Because ROCIS now allows us to separate the two forms, we are reporting the burdens per form separately; therefore, the burden estimate is more accurate.
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.
