Type of Information Collection: Extension without change of a currently approved collection	Common Form ICR:  No
Type of Review Request: Regular
OIRA Conclusion Action: Approved without change	Conclusion Date: 07/23/2007
	Date Received in OIRA: 05/11/2007
Terms of Clearance: Approved for one year only because the explanation for not providing an electronic version of the form is not satisfactory. Given the large number of respondents who use this form, the ability to submit these forms electronically should be a priority, on a par similar to other forms SSA has made available electronically due to the volume of their use. Upon resubmission of this form for OMB approval, SSA will either make this form electronically available or provide a detailed justification of why the agency was not able to make the form electronically available. The justification should go well beyond simply asserting that it is not an agency priority and include a timeframe when SSA expects the form will become available electronically.

Abstract: An applicant completes this form on behalf of a child when appealing an unfavorable disability decision or when a child's continuing entitlement to SSI disabled child's benefits is being reviewed. The form requests the names and addresses of non-medical sources such as schools, counselors, agencies, organizations or therapists who would have information about a child's functioning. It is used by the State Disability Determination Service who may request information from these sources to help make a determination.
