  <title><![CDATA[
Clarification of Evidentiary Standard for Determinations and  Decisions]]></title>
  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2008-06-13-E8-13282</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ These proposed rules clarify that we apply the preponderance 
of the evidence standard when we make determinations and decisions at 
all levels of our administrative review processes. These proposed rules 
would not change our policy that the Appeals Council applies the 
substantial evidence standard when it reviews an administrative law 
judge's decision to determine whether to grant a request for review. We 
also propose to explicitly define substantial evidence and 
preponderance of the evidence in applying these rules.
