SSA plans to expand its video teleconferencing program of Administrative Law Judge Hearings by allowing these hearings to be conducted from private representative sites that have been certified by the agency. Representatives who are interested in participating in the pilot program or the permanent program will need to provide some basic information about their location, the area they serve and their expected workload. Because private video sites are being used, the pilot guidelines provide for site inspections, certain on the record certifications and other claimant safeguards to help ensure that no claimants are disadvantaged by participating in their hearing from a private site. Respondents to this collection will be the claimant’s representatives who elect to participate in the collection.

The Privately Owned Video Teleconferencing pilot is a new information collection which will increase the public reporting burden. Representatives who are interested in participating in the pilot program will need to contact the pilot program coordinator and provide some basic information about their location, the area they serve and their expected workload. Because private video sites are being used, the pilot guidelines provide for certain on the record certifications and other claimant safeguards to help ensure that no claimants are disadvantaged by participating in their hearing from a private site. As a result, at the time of the hearing, participating representatives will be required to include in their opening statement on the record or in writing certifications required by the video program. In addition, the pilot guidelines provide for specific video teleconferencing equipment requirements which must be met to participate in the pilot.
