Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 60 / Friday, March 28, 2014 / Notices 17579 

The DOL will only submit a collection 

for approval under this generic 

clearance if it meets the following 

conditions: 

• The collection is voluntary; 

• The collection is low-burden for 

respondents (based on considerations of 

total burden hours, total number of 

respondents, or burden-hours per 

respondent) and is low-cost for both the 

respondents and the Federal 

Government; 

• The collection is non-controversial 

and does not raise issues of concern to 

other Federal agencies; 

• The collection is targeted to the 

solicitation of opinions from 

respondents who have experience with 

the program or may have experience 

with the program in the near future; 

• Personally identifiable information 

is collected only to the extent necessary 

and is not retained; 

• Information gathered will be used 

only internally for general service 

improvement and program management 

purposes and is not intended for release 

outside of the agency; 

• Information gathered will not be 

used for the purpose of substantially 

informing influential policy decisions; 

and 

• Information gathered will yield 

qualitative information; the collection 

will not be designed or be expected to 

yield statistically reliable results or be 

used as though the results are 

generalizable to the population of study. 

Feedback collected under this generic 

clearance provides useful information, 

but it does not yield data that can be 

generalized to the overall population. 

This type of generic clearance for 

qualitative information will not be used 

for quantitative information collections 

that are designed to yield reliably 

actionable results, such as monitoring 

trends over time or documenting 

program performance. Such data uses 

would require more rigorous designs 

that address: The target population to 

which generalizations would be made, 

the sampling frame, the sample design 

(including stratification and clustering), 

the precision requirements or power 

calculations that would justify the 

proposed sample size, the expected 

response rate, methods for assessing 

potential non-response bias, the 

protocols for data collection, and any 

testing procedures that were or would 

be undertaken prior to fielding the 

study. Depending on the degree of 

influence the results are likely to have, 

such collections could still be eligible 

for submission for other generic 

mechanisms that are designed to yield 

quantitative results. 

As a general matter, information 

collections will not result in any new 

system of records containing privacy 

information and will not ask questions 

of a sensitive nature, such as sexual 

behavior and attitudes, religious beliefs, 

and other matters that are commonly 

considered private. 

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 1225–0088. 

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 

May 31, 2014. The DOL seeks to extend 

PRA authorization for this information 

collection for three (3) more years, 

without any change to existing 

requirements. 

Interested parties are encouraged to 

provide comments to the contact shown 

in the ADDRESSES section. Comments 

must be written to receive 

consideration, and they will be 

summarized and included in the request 

for OMB approval of the final ICR. In 

order to help ensure appropriate 

consideration, comments should 

mention OMB Control Number 1225– 

0088. 

Submitted comments will also be a 

matter of public record for this ICR and 

posted on the Internet, without 

redaction. The DOL encourages 

commenters not to include personally 

identifiable information, confidential 

business data, or other sensitive 

statements/information in any 

comments. 

The DOL is particularly interested in 

comments that: 

• 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 submission of 

responses.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR 

seeks to make minor revisions to the 

Comparability of Current Work to Coal 

Mine Employment (Form CM–913) 

information collection, which helps to 

ensure that compensation paid to a 

claimant is accurate. Once a miner has 

been identified as having performed 

non-coal mine work subsequent to coal 

mine employment, the miner or the 

miner’s survivor completes Form CM– 

913. The form is used to compare the 

physical demands of the miner’s coal 

mine work with his or her last or 

current non-coal mine work. This ICR 

has been classified as a revision, 

because the OWCP has made minor 

clarifications to the instructions and 

added information on assistance 

available to respondents with 

disabilities. 

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 1240–0035. The current 

approval is scheduled to expire on April 

30, 2014; however, the DOL notes that 

existing information collection 

requirements submitted to the OMB 

receive a month-to-month extension 

while they undergo review. New 

requirements would only take effect 

upon OMB approval. For additional 

substantive information about this ICR, 

see the related notice published in the 

Federal Register on December 3, 2013 

(78 FR 72717). 

Interested parties are encouraged to
