SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

103(h) of the Federal Mine Safety and 

Health Act of 1977 (Mine Act), 30 U.S.C. 

813(h), authorizes MSHA to collect 

information necessary to carry out its 

duty in protecting the safety and health 

of miners. Further, section 101(a) of the 

Mine Act, 30 U.S.C. 811, authorizes the 

Secretary of Labor to develop, 

promulgate, and revise as may be 

appropriate, improved mandatory 

health or safety standards for the 

protection of life and prevention of 

injuries in coal or other mines. Title 30 

CFR part 77, subpart C, sets forth 

standards for surface installations to 

prevent accidents and injuries to 

miners. More specifically, section 

77.215 addresses refuse piles and 

section 77.216 addresses 

impoundments. Refuse piles are 

deposits of coal mine waste (other than 

overburden or spoil) that are removed 

during mining operations or separated 

from mined coal and deposited on the 

surface. Impoundments are structures 

that can impound water, sediment, or 

slurry or any combination of materials. 

The failure of these structures can have 

a devastating effect on mine employees, 

communities, and nearby areas. To 

avoid or minimize such failures, MSHA 

has promulgated standards for the 

design, construction, and maintenance 

of these structures; for annual 

certifications; for certification for 

hazardous refuse piles; for the frequency 

of inspections; and the methods of 

abandonment for impoundments and 

impounding structures. For additional 

substantive information about this ICR, 

see the related notice published in the 

Federal Register on October 6, 2020 (85 

FR 63144). 

This information collection is subject 

to the PRA. A Federal agency generally 

cannot conduct or sponsor a collection 

of information, and the public is 

generally not required to respond to an 

information collection, unless the OMB 

approves it and displays a currently 

valid OMB Control Number. In addition, 

notwithstanding any other provisions of 

law, no person shall generally be subject 

to penalty for failing to comply with a 

collection of information that does not 

display a valid OMB Control Number. 

See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. 

DOL seeks PRA authorization for this 

information collection for three (3) 

years. OMB authorization for an ICR 

cannot be for more than three (3) years

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Office 

of Workers’ Compensation Programs 

(OWCP) is the primary agency 

responsible for administration of the 

Energy Employees Occupational Illness 

Compensation Program Act of 2000, as 

amended (EEOICPA), 42 U.S.C. 7384 et 

seq. EEOICPA provides for the payment 

of compensation to covered employees 

and, where applicable, survivors of 

deceased employees, who sustained 

either an ‘‘occupational illness’’ or a 

‘‘covered illness’’ in the performance of 

duty for the Department of Energy and 

certain of its contractors and 

subcontractors. One element of the 

compensation provided to covered 

employees is medical benefits for the 

treatment of their occupational or 

covered illnesses that are accepted as 

compensable. OWCP contracts with a 

private sector bill processing agent that 

handles many of the tasks associated 

with paying bills for medical treatment 

provided to covered employees under 

EEOICPA. This bill processing agent 

uses an automated system that matches 

incoming bills with the authorized 

medical treatment of covered employees 

before it issues payments, and a 

provider of medical treatment, supplies 

or services to covered employees must 

provide the bill processing agent with 

information necessary for creation of an 

authorization within the agent’s 

automated system before a bill can be 

paid. The collection of this information 

is authorized by 20 CFR 30.400(a) and 

(c), 30.403, 30.404(b) and 30.700. The 

information collections in this ICR 

collect demographic, factual and 

medical information that OWCP and/or 

its bill processing agent needs to process 

bills for medical treatment, supplies or 

services. For additional substantive 

information about this ICR, see the 

related notice published in the Federal 

Register on October 2, 2020 (85 FR 

62327). 

This information collection is subject 

to the PRA. A Federal agency generally 

cannot conduct or sponsor a collection 

of information, and the public is 

generally not required to respond to an 

information collection, unless the OMB 

approves it and displays a currently 

valid OMB Control Number. In addition, 

notwithstanding any other provisions of 

law, no person shall generally be subject 

to penalty for failing to comply with a 

collection of information that does not 

display a valid OMB Control Number. 

See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. 

DOL seeks PRA authorization for this 

information collection for three (3) 

years. OMB authorization for an ICR 

cannot be for more than three (3) years 

without renewal. The DOL notes that 

information collection requirements 

submitted to the OMB for existing ICRs 

receive a month-to-month extension 

while they undergo review.
