Good morning and welcome to today’s hearing. Americans count on Social Security to provide important bene- fits. In fact, Social Security pays benefits to more than 60 million people a year, totaling nearly $1 trillion. It is the largest single program in the Federal budget responsible for a quarter of all Fed- eral spending. When Social Security became an independent agency in 1995, Congress created the position of a Social Security Commissioner to run the agency. This position has a fixed 6-year term that must be Senate confirmed, just like the Department Secretaries and heads of other high level Federal agencies. But Social Security has been without a Senate-confirmed Commissioner since the most recent term expired on January 19, 2013. That is more than 5 years. This is the largest single period of vacancy for the head of a department or major Federal agency since Social Security became independent. And that is not right. Not only has Social Security been led by Act- ing Commissioners, but for over 3 years we haven’t even had a nominee for the Senate to consider. The President needs to nomi- nate a Commissioner without further delay. And once he does, the Senate should move quickly because the American people have waited too long. Yesterday GAO announced the Social Security Administration is in violation of the Vacancy Reform Act. Without objection, the opin- ion will be made a part of the record. Chairman JOHNSON. This is a big deal and a reminder that So- cial Security needs a nominee now. Acting Commissioners can keep an agency on a course that is already set, but they don’t have the VerDate Sep 11 2014 08:27 Mar 19, 2019 Jkt 33796 PO 00000 Frm 000007 Fmt 06633 Sfmt 06602 I:\WAYS\OUT\33796.XXX 33796 Insert 33796A.002 4 same authority to lead as a Senate-confirmed Commissioner. You will hear today an Acting Commissioner just isn’t empowered to make strategic decisions regarding the long-term operation of the agency. The Social Security Administration needs the strong and consistent leadership of a Senate-confirmed Commissioner to keep the agency focused on providing the service Americans expect, need, and deserve. We are now more than 5 years into a 6-year term. The American people can’t afford to wait any longer. Mr. President, we need you to nominate a Commissioner now. I want to thank our witnesses for being here today, and I look forward to hearing your testimony. I now recognize Mr. Larson for his opening statement. Mr.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted you will find a target note listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

Washington, D.C. 20554 Re: Notice of Ex Parte Communication, GN Docket No. 12-268, MB Docket No. 16-306. Dear Ms. Dortch: In an effort to help its radio members better understand and prepare for the impacts of the post-auction transition of repacked television stations, NAB commissioned a study to determine which FM stations are likely to need to coordinate with TV stations making adjustments following the Incentive Auction. This analysis identifies 678 FM stations that may need to reduce power, shut down, or operate from an auxiliary facility as work is being done on a neighboring TV station antenna to ensure tower worker safety from radio frequency exposure. A copy of this analysis is attached. We look forward to working with the Commission to ensure the smoothest possible transition for broadcast viewers and listeners.
