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. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

submitted to the office listed in the 

address section below on or before May 

2, 2022. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments 

by mail, delivery service, or by hand to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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). 

I. Background: The Department’s 

regulations implementing the Black 

Lung Benefits Act (BLBA), 30 U.S.C. 901 

et seq., may require parties to exchange 

all medical information about the 

minter they develop in connection with 

a claim for benefits, including 

information parties do not intent to 

submit as evidence in the claim. See 20 

CFR 725.413. The rule helps protect a 

miner’s health, assist unrepresented 

parties, and promote accurate benefit 

determinations. The potential parties to 

a BLBA claim include the benefits 

claimant, the responsible coal mine 

operator and its insurance carrier, and 

the Director, Office of Workers’ 

Compensation Programs (OWCP). Under 

this rule, a party of a party’s agent who 

receives medical information about the 

minter must send a copy to all other 

parties within 30 days after receipt or, 

if a hearing before an administrative law 

judge has already been scheduled, at 

least 20 days before the hearing. The 

exchanged information is entered into 

the record of the claim only if a party 

submits it into evidence. 

The Department’s authority to engage 

in information collection is specified in 

BLBA sections 413(b), 422(2) and 

426(a). see 30 U.S.C. 923(b), 932(a) and 

936(a). This information collection is 

currently approved for use through July 

31, 2022. 

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 approval for the 

extension of this currently-approved 

information collection. The collection is 

necessary to give miners full access to 

information about their health, assist 

unrepresented claimants, and reach 

accurate benefit determinations under 

the BLBA. 

Agency: Office of Workers’ 

Compensation Programs. 

Type of Review: Extension.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title of Collection: Grantee Reporting 

Requirements for Partnerships for 

Research and Education in Materials 

(PREM). 

OMB Number: 3145–0232. 

Expiration Date of Approval: 

September 30, 2022. 

Type of Request: Intent to seek 

approval to renew an information 

collection. 

Overview of this Information 

Collection: The Partnerships for 

Research and Education in Materials 

(PREM) aims to enhance diversity in 

materials research and education by 

stimulating the development of formal, 

long-term, collaborative research and 

education relationships between 

minority-serving colleges and 

universities and centers, institutes and 

facilities supported by the NSF Division 

of Materials Research (DMR). With this 

collaborative model PREMs build 

intellectual and physical infrastructure 

within and between disciplines, 

weaving together knowledge creation, 

knowledge integration, and knowledge 

transfer. PREMs conduct world-class 

research through partnerships of 

academic institutions, national 

laboratories, industrial organizations, 

and/or other public/private entities. 

New knowledge thus created is 

meaningfully linked to society, with an 

emphasis on enhancing diversity. 

PREMs enable and foster excellent 

education, integrate research and 

education, and create bonds between 

learning and inquiry so that discovery 

and creativity more fully support the 

learning process. PREMs capitalize on 

diversity through participation and 

collaboration in center activities and 

demonstrate leadership in the 

involvement of groups 

underrepresented in science and 

engineering. 

PREMs will be required to submit 

annual reports on progress and plans, 

which will be used as a basis for 

performance review and determining 

the level of continued funding. To 

support this review and the 

management of the award PREMs will 

be required to develop a set of 

management and performance 

indicators for submission annually to 

NSF via the Research Performance 

Project Reporting module in 

Research.gov. These indicators are both 

quantitative and descriptive and may 

include, for example, the characteristics 

of personnel and students; sources of 

financial support and in-kind support; 

expenditures by operational component; 

research activities; education activities; 

patents, licenses; publications; degrees 

granted to students involved in PREM 

activities; descriptions of significant 

advances and other outcomes of the 

PREM effort. 

Each PREM’s annual report will 

include the following categories of 

activities: (1) Research, (2) education (3) 

outreach, (4) partnerships, (5) diversity, 

(6) management, and (7) budget issues. 

For each of the categories the report 

will describe overall objectives for the 

year, problems the PREM has 

encountered in making progress towards 

goals, anticipated problems in the 

following year, and specific outputs and 

outcomes. 

PREMs are required to file a final 

report through the RPPR and external 

technical assistance contractor. Final 

reports contain similar information and 

metrics as annual reports but are 

retrospective. 

Use of the Information: NSF will use 

the information to continue funding of 

PREMs, and to evaluate the progress of 

the program. 

Estimate of Burden: 50 hours per 

PREM for 32 PREMs for a total of 1,600 

hours. 

Respondents: Non-profit institutions. 

Estimated Number of Responses per 

Report: One from each of the fifteen 

PREMs. 

Comments: Comments are invited on 

(a) whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

Agency, including whether the 

information shall have practical utility; 

(b) the accuracy of the Agency’s 

estimate of the burden of the proposed 

collection of information; (c) ways to 

enhance the quality, utility, and clarity 

of the information on respondents, 

including through the use of automated 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology; and (d) ways to 

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.
