The Social Security Administration (SSA) publishes a list of

includes one revision of an OMB-approved information collection.
SSA is soliciting comments on the accuracy of the agency's burden
estimate; the need for the information; its practical utility; ways to
enhance its quality, utility, and clarity; and ways to minimize burden
on respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology. Mail, email, or fax your
comments and recommendations on the information collection(s) to the
OMB Desk Officer and SSA Reports Clearance Officer at the following

SSA submitted the information collection below to OMB for

Filing Claims Under the Federal Tort Claims Act--20 CFR 429.101 -
429.110--0960-0667. The Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) is the mechanism
for compensating people who Federal employees injured through negligent
or wrongful acts that occurred during the performance of those
employees' official duties. SSA accepts claims filed under the FTCA for
damages against the United States; loss of property; personal injury;
or death resulting from an SSA employee's wrongful act or omission. The
various types of claims included under this information collection
request require claimants to provide information SSA can use to
determine whether to make an award, compromise, or settlement under the
FTCA. The respondents are individuals or entities making a claim under
the FTCA.
Type of Request: Revision of an OMB-approved information
collection.

* We are including a one-hour placeholder burden for 20 CFR 429.102 and 429.103, as respondents complete OMB-approved Form SF-95, OMB No. 1105-0008.
Since the burden for these citations is covered under a separate OMB number, we are not double-counting the burden here.
** We based this figure on the average U.S. citizen's hourly salary, as reported by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes_nat.htm#00-0000).
*** This figure does not represent actual costs that SSA is imposing on recipients of Social Security payments to complete this application; rather,
these are theoretical opportunity costs for the additional time respondents will spend to complete the application. There is no actual charge to
respondents to complete the application.
