-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, we are issuing

    We invite public comment on the addition of the routine use. In 
accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, we are providing the public a 
30-day period in which to submit comments. Therefore, please submit any 
comments by March 28, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Recognizing that representatives sometimes 
work on behalf of and receive a salary from an entity when performing 
services for an individual filing for and receiving benefits, we are 
modifying an existing routine use in the Attorney Fee File (60-0003) 
and establishing a new routine use in the Claims Folders System (60-
0089) to reflect the following:

    To a representative (current or former) or the entity with which 
the representative has affiliated through registration, to the 
extent necessary to dispose of a fee petition or fee agreement or 
resolve other fee related issues in claims-related matters, but not 
to include pre-decisional deliberative documents, such as analyses 
and recommendations prepared for the decision-maker.
