DEPARTMENT OF LABOR 

Employment Standards Administration 

Proposed Extension of the Approval of 

Information Collection Requirements 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor 

(DOL), 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 its 

proposal to extend OMB approval of the 

information collection: Health Insurance 

Claim Form (OWCP–1500). A copy of 

the proposed information collection 

request can be obtained by contacting 

the office listed below in the addresses 

section of this Notice. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

submitted to the office listed in the 

addresses section below on or before 

May 11, 2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Office of Workers’ Compensation 

Programs (OWCP) is the agency 

responsible for administration of the 

Federal Employees’ Compensation Act 

(FECA), 5 U.S.C. 8101 et seq., the Black 

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

et seq., and the Energy Employees 

Occupational Illness Compensation 

Program Act of 2000 (EEOICPA), 42 

U.S.C. 7384 et seq. All three of these 

statutes require that OWCP pay for 

medical treatment of beneficiaries; 

BLBA also requires that OWCP pay for 

medical examinations and related 

diagnostic services to determine 

eligibility for benefits under that statute. 

Form OWCP–1500 is used by OWCP 

and contractor bill payment staff to 

process bills for medical services 

provided by medical professionals other 

than medical services provided by 

hospitals, pharmacies and certain other 

medical providers. To consider the 

appropriateness of the requested 

payment in a timely fashion, it is 

essential that provider bills be 

submitted on a standard form that will 

capture the critical data elements 

needed to evaluate the bill, such as 

procedure and diagnosis codes. 

This information collection is 

currently approved for use through 

October 31, 2009. 

II. Review Focus 

The DOL 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Section 302(a) of the Federal Mine 

Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine 

Act), 30 U.S.C. 846, requires that a roof 

control plan and revisions thereof 

suitable to the roof conditions and 

mining system of each coal mine be first 

approved by the Secretary of Labor 

(Secretary) before implementation by 

the operator. The plan must show the 

type of support and spacing approved 

by the Secretary, and the plan must be 

reviewed at least every 6 months by the 

Secretary. 

Under 30 CFR 75.221, the information 

required to be submitted and approved 

in the roof control plan includes the 

following: (1) The name and address of 

the company; (2) the name, address, 

mine identification number, and 

location of the mine; (3) the name and 

title of the company official responsible 

for the plan; (4) a description of the 

mine strata; (5) a description and 

drawings of the sequence of installation 

and spacing of supports for each method 

of mining used; (6) the maximum 

distance that an ATRS system is to be 

set beyond the last row of permanent 

support (if appropriate); (7) 

specifications and installation 

procedures for liners or arches (if 

appropriate); (8) drawings indicating the 

planned width of openings, size of 

pillars, method of pillar recovery, and 

the sequence of mining pillars; (9) a list 

of all support materials required to be 

used in the roof, face and rib control 

system; (10) the intervals at which test 

holes will be drilled (if appropriate); 

and (11) a description of the methods to 

be used for the protection of persons. 

Under 30 CFR 75.215, the roof control 

plan for each longwall mining section is 

required to specify the methods that 

will be used to maintain a safe 

travelway out of the section through the 

tailgate side of the longwall and the 

procedures that will be followed if a 

ground failure prevents travel out of the 

section through the tailgate side of the 

longwall. 

II. Desired Focus of Comments 

Currently, the Mine Safety and Health 

Administration (MSHA) is soliciting 

comments concerning the proposed 

extension of the information collection 

requirement related to Roof Control 

Plans. MSHA is particularly interested 

in comments that: 

• Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of MSHA’s 

functions, including whether the 

information has practical utility; 

• Evaluate the accuracy of MSHA’s 

estimate of the burden of the proposed 

collection of information, including the 

validity of the methodology and 

assumptions used; 

• Suggest methods to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and 

• Address 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) to minimize 

the burden of the collection of 

information on those who are to 

respond. 

A copy of the proposed information 

collection request can be obtained by 

contacting the employee listed in the 

ADDRESSES section of this notice or
