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 the

proposed extension collection of the

following information collection: Notice

of Issuance of Insurance Policy, CM–

921. Copies of the proposed information

collection request can be obtained by

contacting the office listed below in the

addressee section of this Notice.

DATES: Written comments must be

submitted to the office listed in the

addressee section below on or before

December 26, 2000.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

Section 423 of the Black Lung

Benefits Act, as amended, specifies that

a responsible coal mine operator must

be insured for payment of black lung

benefits and outlines the items each

contract of insurance must contain. It

enumerates the civil penalties to which

a responsible coal mine operator is

subject, should these procedures not be

followed. Further, 20 CFR Ch. VI

subpart C, 726.208–213 requires that

each insurance carrier report to the

Division of Coal Mine Workers’

Compensation (DCMWC) each policy

and endorsement issued, cancelled, or

reviewed with respect to responsible

operators, on such a form as DCMWC

may require. The CM–921 is the form

completed by the insurance carrier and

forwarded to DCMWC for review.

II. Review Focus

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.

III. Current Actions

The Department of Labor seeks the

extension of approval to collect this

information in order to identify

operators who have secured insurance

for payment of black lung benefits as

required by the Act.
