SUMMARY: The Department of Labor 

(DOL) is soliciting public comments 

concerning a proposed revision to the 

information collection request (ICR) 

titled, ‘‘Nondiscrimination Compliance 

Information Reporting Under the 

Workforce Investment Act of 1998.’’ 

This comment request is part of 

continuing Departmental efforts to 

reduce paperwork and respondent 

burden in accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(PRA), 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq. 

DATES: Consideration will be given to all

number) or (800) 877–8339 (relay); or 

facsimile machine (FAX) at (202) 693–

can be made available, upon request, in 

large print or electronic file on 

computer disk. The ICR is also available 

for public inspection during normal 

business hours at the DOL headquarters 

by scheduling an appointment with the

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Roger Ocampo by email at 

civilrightscenter@dol.gov or by 

telephone at (202) 693–6500 (Voice) (not 

a toll free number) or (800) 877–8339 

(relay). 

Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The DOL, 

as part of continuing efforts to reduce 

paperwork and respondent burden, 

conducts a pre-clearance consultation 

program to provide the general public 

and Federal agencies an opportunity to 

comment on proposed and/or 

continuing collections of information 

before submitting them to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for final 

approval. This program helps to ensure 

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 can be properly assessed. 

This ICR is for an information 

collection designed to ensure that 

programs or activities funded, in whole 

or in part, by the DOL operate in a 

nondiscriminatory manner. The 

reporting requirements cover programs 

and activities to collect, maintain, and 

report—upon DOL request—race, 

ethnicity, sex, age, and disability data 

for program applicants, eligible 

applicants, participants, terminees, 

applicants for employment, and 

employees. The DOL also provides a 

vehicle that allows a person to file a 

complaint of discriminatory activity 

under a DOL funded program. 

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 1225–0077. 

The DOL seeks to revise the 

information collection. Specifically, the 

DOL wants to make a minor change to 

the Complaint Information Form to 

clarify the information requested. The 

revised information collection will 

allow the DOL to carry out its 

responsibility to ensure 

nondiscrimination in programs and 

activities funded, in whole or in part, by 

the DOL. 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 July 31, 2014. The DOL 

intends to extend PRA authorization for 

this information collection for three (3) 

years from the date OMB takes action on 

the revision request; therefore, the DOL 

invites comments on all aspects of the 

Nondiscrimination Compliance 

Information Reporting information 

collection. 

Interested parties are encouraged to 

provide comments to the contact shown 

in the ADDRESSES section. Comments 

must be written to receive 

consideration. In order to help ensure 

appropriate consideration, comments 

should mention Control Number 1225– 

0077. A commenter may request oral 

confirmation that a submission has been 

received by contacting the individual 

listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT section of this notice. No other 

method will be used to acknowledge the 

receipt of a comment. 

Comments submitted in response to 

this notice will be a matter of the public 

record for this ICR and posted on the 

Internet, without redaction. The DOL 

will not honor any request to the 

contrary for a comment submitted in 

response to this notice. The DOL 

encourages commenters not to include 

sensitive personal information (e.g., a 

social security number), confidential 

business data (e.g., a bank account or 

other financial institution number or 

trade secret), 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. 

Agency: DOL–OASAM, CRC. 

Type of Review: Revision.

Compliance Information Reporting

1998.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background: The Black Lung 

Benefits Act of 1977 as amended, 20 

U.S.C. 901 et seq. and 20 CFR 718.102 

set forth criteria for the administration 

and interpretation of x-rays. When a 

miner applies for benefits, the Division 

of Coal Mine Workers’ Compensation 

(DCMWC) is required to schedule a 

series of four diagnostic tests to help 

establish eligibility for black lung 

benefits. Each of the diagnostic tests has 

its own form that sets forth the medical 

results. The forms are: 

Roentgenographic Interpretation (CM– 

933), Roentgenographic Quality 

Rereading (CM–933b), Medical History 

and Examination for Coal Mine 

Workers’ Pneumoconiosis (CM–988), 

Report of Arterial Blood Gas Study 

(CM–1159), and Report of Ventilatory 

Study (CM–2907). This information 

collection is currently approved for use 

through October 31, 2014. 

II. Review Focus: The Department of 

Labor is particularly interested in 

comments which:

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility;

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used;

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submissions 

of responses.
