When determining the effects of a
child's impairment(s), SSA must obtain information about the
child's functioning from teachers, parents, and others who have the
opportunity to observe the child on a day-to-day basis. SSA obtains
results of formal testing, teacher reports, therapy progress notes,
individualized education programs, and other records of a child's
educational aptitude and achievement on the SSA-5665 and SSA-5666.
The respondents are parents, teachers, and other education
personnel.

The decrease in burden hours
stems from a decrease in the number of child applications. In
addition, because respondents only use the electronic versions of
Forms SSA-5665-BK and SSA-5666, we will no longer use the paper
forms unless absolutely necessary.
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).
