SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Regulations 30 CFR 75.315 make it 

mandatory for a mine operator electing 

to use belt air to ventilate a working 

section or area where mechanized 

equipment is being installed or removed 

to maintain records used by coal mine 

supervisors, miners, and Federal and 

State mine inspectors to show required 

examinations and tests were conducted. 

These records give insight into 

hazardous conditions that have been or 

may be encountered. Inspection records 

help in making decisions that ultimately 

affect the safety and health of miners 

working in belt air mines. Federal Mine 

Safety and Health Act of 1977 section 

103(h) (30 U.S.C. 813(h)) authorizes the 

MSHA to collect information necessary 

to carry out its duty in protecting the 

safety and health of miners. 

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 it is 

approved by the OMB under the PRA 

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 Control Number. See 5 

CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL 

obtains OMB approval for this 

information collection under Control 

Number 1219–0138. 

OMB authorization for an ICR cannot 

be for more than three (3) years without 

renewal, and the current approval for 

this collection is scheduled to expire on 

October 31, 2013. The DOL seeks to 

extend PRA authorization for this 

information collection for three (3) more 

years, without any change to existing 

requirements. It should also be noted 

that existing information collection 

requirements submitted to the OMB 

receive a month-to-month extension 

while they undergo review. For 

additional substantive information 

about this ICR, see the related notice 

published in the Federal Register on 

June 14, 2013 (78 FR 35975).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

OWCP is the primary agency 

responsible for administering the Energy 

Employees Occupational Illness 

Compensation Program Act of 2000, as 

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

seq.). The EEOICPA provides for timely 

payment of compensation to covered 

employees who sustained either 

occupational or otherwise covered 

illnesses incurred in the performance of 

duty for the Department of Energy 

(DOE) and certain of its contractors and 

subcontractors and, where applicable, 

survivors of such employees. The 

EEOICPA sets forth eligibility criteria 

for claimants for compensation under 

EEOICPA parts B and E and outlines the 

various elements of compensation 

payable from the Energy Employees 

Occupational Illness Compensation 

Fund. 

Regulations 20 CFR 30.100, –.101, 

–.102, –.103, –.111, –.112, –.113, –.114, 

–.206, –.207, –.212, –.213, –.214, –.215, 

–.221, –.222, –.226, –.231, –.232, –.415, 

–.416, –.417, –.505, –.620, –.806, –.905, 

and –.907 implementing the EEOICPA 

contain information collection 

requirements covered by this ICR. The 

OWCP also uses this ICR to obtain PRA 

authorization to implement the 

information collection requirement 

found at 42 U.S.C. 7385s–11. 

The OWCP uses forms covered by this 

ICR to determine a claimant’s eligibility 

for EEOICPA compensation and 

responses are required to obtain or 

retain benefits. The information 

collections in this ICR collect 

demographic, factual, and medical 

information needed to determine 

entitlement to EEOICPA benefits. Before 

the OWCP can pay benefits, the case file 

must contain medical and employment 

evidence showing the claimant’s 

eligibility. The various collections 

covered by this ICR and the purpose of 

each are listed below: 

Form EE–1—A living current or 

former employee completes the form to 

file a claim under parts B and/or E. The 

form requests information about the 

illness or illnesses being claimed and 

information about tort suits, settlements, 

or awards in litigation; State workers’ 

compensation benefits; and fraud 

convictions that affect entitlement. This 

form is also available in Spanish. (20 

CFR 30.100, –.103, –.505, and –.620.) 

Form EE–2—The survivor of a 

deceased employee uses the form to file 

a claim under parts B and/or E. The 

form requests information regarding 

both the survivor and the deceased 

employee. The form also requests 

information about illnesses, tort suits, 

settlements, or awards in litigation; 

State workers’ compensation benefits; 

and fraud convictions that affect 

entitlement. This form is also available 

in Spanish. (20 CFR 30.101, –.103, 

–.505, and –.620.) 

Form EE–3—The form gathers 

information about the employee’s work 

history. This form is also available in 

Spanish. (20 CFR 30.103, –.111, –.113, 

–.114, –.206, –.212, –.214, –.221, and 

–.231.) 

Form EE–4—The employee or 

survivor uses the form to support the 

claimed employment history by 

affidavit. This form is also available in 

Spanish. (20 CFR 30.103, –.111, –.113, 

–.114, –.206, –.212, –.214, –.221, and
