          Subject: Social Security Administration: Supplemental Security Inc o me:
                  Determining Disability for a Child Under Aae 18

          Pursuant to section 801(a)(2)(A) of title 5, United States Code, this is our report on a
          major rule promulgated by the Social Security Administration (SSA), entitled
          Supplemental Security Income: Determining Disability for a Child Under Age 18
          (RIN: 0960-AF40). We received the rule on September 5, 2000. It was published in
          the Federal Register as a final rule on September 11, 2000. 65 Fed. Reg. 54747.

          The rule revises and finalizes the interim rule published on February 11, 1997, which
          implemented the childhood disabilities provisions of Public Law 104-193. The
          revisions are based on comments received on the interim rule, program experience
          since 1997, and amendments to Public Law 104-193 made by the Balanced Budget
          Act of 1997 (Pub. L. 105-33).

          Enclosed is our assessment of the SSA's compliance with the procedural steps
          required by section 801(a)(1)(B)(i) through (iv) of title 5 with respect to the rule.
          Our review indicates that the SSA complied with the applicable requirements.

          If you have any questions about this report, please contact James W. Vickers,
          Assistant General Counsel, at (202) 512-8210. The official responsible for GAO
          evaluation work relating to the subject matter of the rule is Cindy Fagnoni, Director,
