DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment Standards Administration

Proposed Collection; Comment

Request

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as

part of its continuing effort to reduce

paperwork and respondent burden,

conducts a preclearance consultation

program to provide the general public

and Federal agencies with an

opportunity to comment on proposed

and/or continuing collections of

information in accordance with the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

(PRA95) [44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)] This

program helps to ensure that requested

data can be provided in the desired

format, reporting burden (time and

financial resources) is minimized,

collection instruments are clearly

understood, and the impact of collection

requirements on respondents can be

properly assessed. Currently, the

Employment Standards Administration

is soliciting comments concerning a

proposed extension information

collection: CM–936, Authorization for

Release of Medical Information.

Copies of the proposed information

collection request can be obtained by

contacting the office listed below in the

addresses section of this notice.

DATES: Written comments must be

submitted to the office listed in the

ADDRESSES section below on or before

October 8, 1997. The Department of

Labor is particularly interested in

comments which:

• evaluate whether the proposed

collection of information is necessary

for the proper performance of the

functions of the agency, including

whether the information will have

practical utility;

• evaluate the accuracy of the

agency’s estimate of the burden of the

proposed collection of information,

including the validity of the

methodology and assumptions used;

• enhance the quality, utility and

clarity of the information to be

collected; and

• minimize the burden of the

collection of information on those who

are to respond, including through the

use of appropriate automated,

electronic, mechanical, or other

technological collection techniques or

other forms of information technology,

e.g., permitting electronic submissions

of responses.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

The Federal Mine Safety and Health

Act of 1977, as amended (30 U.S.C. 923)

and 20 CFR 725.405 require that all

relevant medical evidence be

considered before a decision can be

made regarding a claimant’s eligibility

for benefits. The CM–936 is a form that

gives the claimant’s consent for the

release of medical information covered

by the Privacy Act of 1974, and contains

information required by medical

institutions and private physicians to

enable them to release pertinent medical

information.

II. Current Actions

The Department of Labor (DOL) seeks

extension of approval to collect this

information in order to obtain the

claimant’s consent for medical

institutions and private physicians to

release medical information to the

Division of Coal Mine Workers

Compensation, as evidence to support

their claim. Failure to gather this

information would inhibit the

adjudication of black lung claims

because pertinent medical data would

not be considered, during claims

processing.

Type of Review: Extension.

Agency: Employment Standards

Administration.

Title: Authorization for Release of

Medical Information.

OMB Number: 1215–0057.

Agency Numbers: CM–936.

Affected Public: Individuals or

households.

Total Respondents: 3,000.

Frequency: Once.

Total Response: 3,000.

Average Time Per Response for

Reporting: 5 minutes.

Estimated Total Burden Hours: 250.

Total Burden Cost (capital/startup): 0.

Total Burden Cost (operating/

maintenance): 0.

Comments submitted in response to

this notice will be summarized and/or

included in the request for Office of

Management and Budget approval of the

information collection requests; they

will also become a matter of public

record.

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Employment Standards

Administration/Wage and Hour

Division

Minimum Wages for Federal and

Federally Assisted Construction;

General Wage Determination Decisions

General wage determination decisions

of the Secretary of Labor are issued in

accordance with applicable law and are
42826 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 153 / Friday, August 8, 1997 / Notices

based on the information obtained by

the Department of Labor from its study

of local wage conditions and data made

available from other sources. They

specify the basic hourly wage rates and

fringe benefits which are determined to

be prevailing for the described classes of

laborers and mechanics employed on

construction projects of a similar

character and in the localities specified

therein.

The determinations in these decisions

of prevailing rates and fringe benefits

have been made in accordance with 29

CFR Part 1, by authority of the Secretary

of Labor pursuant to the provisions of

the Davis-Bacon Act of March 3, 1931,

as amended (46 Stat. 1494, as amended,

40 U.S.C. 276a) and of other Federal

statutes referred to in 29 CFR Part 1,

Appendix, as well as such additional

statutes as may from time to time be

enacted containing provisions for the

payment of wages determined to be

prevailing by the Secretary of Labor in

accordance with the Davis-Bacon Act.

The prevailing rates and fringe benefits

determined in these decisions shall, in

accordance with the provisions of the

foregoing statutes, constitute the

minimum wages payable on Federal and

federally assisted construction projects

to laborers and mechanics of the

specified classes engaged on contract

work of the character and in the

localities described therein.

Good cause is hereby found for not

utilizing notice and public comment

procedure thereon prior to the issuance

of these determinations as prescribed in

5 U.S.C. 553 and not providing for delay

in the effective date as prescribed in that

section, because the necessity to issue

current construction industry wage

determinations frequently and in large

volume causes procedures to be

impractical and contrary to the public

interest.

General wage determination

decisions, and modifications and

supersedes decisions thereto, contain no

expiration dates and are effective from

their date of notice in the Federal

Register, or on the date written notice

is received by the agency, whichever is

earlier. These decisions are to be used

in accordance with the provisions of 29

CFR Parts 1 and 5. Accordingly, the

applicable decision, together with any

modifications issued, must be made a

part of every contract for performance of

the described work within the

geographic area indicated as required by

an applicable Federal prevailing wage

law and 29 CFR Part 5. The wage rates

and fringe benefits, notice of which is

published herein, and which are

contained in the Government Printing

Office (GPO) document entitled

‘‘General Wage Determinations Issued

Under the Davis-Bacon And Related

Acts,’’ shall be the minimum paid by

contractors and subcontractors to

laborers and mechanics.

Any person, organization, or

governmental agency having an interest

in the rates determined as prevailing is

encouraged to submit wage rate and

fringe benefit information for

consideration by the Department.

Further information and selfexplanatory forms for the purpose of

submitting this data may be obtained by

writing to the U.S. Department of Labor,

Employment Standards Administration,

Wage and Hour Division, Division of

Wage Determinations, 200 Constitution

Avenue, NW., Room S–3014,

Washington, DC 20210.
