Justification for Non-Substantive Changes for

Internet Direct Deposit Application

31 CFR 210

OMB No. 0960-0686

Revisions to the Collection Instrument

• Change #1: We are making the necessary burden changes to our OMB-approved International Direct Deposit (IDD) forms (SSA-1199) due to new IDD agreements with additional countries. Countries participating in new IDD agreements are:

  • Argentina,

  • Belize,

  • Brazil,

  • Colombia,

  • Croatia,

  • Czeck Republic,

  • Dominica,

  • Egypt,

  • Ghana,

  • Iceland,

  • Lithuania,

  • Jordan,

  • Luxembourg,

  • Samoa,

  • Nauru,

  • Singapore,

  • Slovakia,

  • Slovenia,

  • Turkey

• Justification #1: Whenever we add new agreements, it increases the public burden accordingly. Previously, we reported the public burden as 417 annual burden hours based on 5,000 respondents taking 5 minutes to complete the form. Now we are raising the burden to 916 hours based on 11,000 respondents taking 5 minutes to complete the form:

Modality of Completion	Number of Respondents	Frequency of Response	Average Burden Per Response (minutes)	Estimated Total Annual Burden (hours)
SSA-1199	11,000	1	5	917

While we are increasing the burden to accommodate the new respondents, we will not need to revise the data elements we require, so those will remain the same.
