acts extend the Longshore Act’s 

coverage to certain other employees. 

Pursuant to the LHWCA, injured 

employees shall receive compensation 

in an amount equal to 66–2/3 per 

centum of their average weekly wage. 

Form LS–426, Request for Earnings 

Information, is used by district offices to 

collect wage information from injured 

workers to assure payment of 

compensation benefits to injured 

workers at the proper rate. This 

information is needed for determination 

of compensation benefits in accordance 

with section 10 of the LHWCA. This 

information collection is currently 

approved for use through January 31, 

2022. 

Legal authority for this information 

collection is found at 33 U.S.C. 910. 

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 the OMB 

under the PRA approves it 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. 

Interested parties are encouraged to 

provide comments to the contact shown 

in the ADDRESSES section. Written 

comments will receive consideration, 

and summarized and included in the 

request for OMB approval of the final 

ICR. In order to help ensure appropriate 

consideration, comments should 

mention OMB No. 1240–0025. 

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: 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 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 seeks approval under the 

PRA for an extension of an existing 

collection titled Notice of Termination, 

Suspension, Reduction, or Increase in 

Benefit Payments. Coal mine operators, 

their representatives, or their insurers 

who have been identified as responsible 

for paying benefits under the Black 

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

et seq., to an eligible miner or an eligible 

surviving dependent of the miner are 

called Responsible Operators (RO’s). 

RO’s that pay benefits are required to 

report any change in the benefit amount 

to the Department of Labor (DOL). The 

CM 908, when completed and sent to 

DOL, notifies DOL of the change in the 

beneficiary’s benefit amount and the 

reason for the change. This information 

collection is required under the BLBA 

and 20 CFR 725.621. 

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 the OMB

Distribution of 2019 Satellite Royalty 

Funds

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Anita Blaine, CRB Program Specialist, 

by telephone at (202) 707–7658 or email 

at crb@loc.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Each year 

satellite providers must submit royalty 

payments to the Register of Copyrights 

as required by the statutory license set 

forth in section 119 of the Copyright Act 

for the retransmission to satellite 

subscribers of over-the-air television 

broadcast signals. See 17 U.S.C. 119(b). 

The Copyright Royalty Judges (Judges) 

oversee distribution of royalties to 

copyright owners whose works were 

included in a qualifying transmission 

and who timely filed a claim for 

royalties. 

Allocation of the royalties collected 

occurs in one of two ways. In the first 

instance, the Judges may authorize 

distribution in accordance with a 

negotiated settlement among all 

claiming parties. 17 U.S.C. 119(b)(5)(A), 

801(b)(3)(A). If all claimants do not 

reach an agreement with respect to the 

royalties, the Judges must conduct a 

proceeding to determine the distribution 

of any royalties that remain in 

controversy. 17 U.S.C. 119(b)(5)(B), 

801(b)(3)(B). Alternatively, the Judges 

may, on motion of claimants and on 

notice to all interested parties, authorize 

a partial distribution of royalties, 

reserving on deposit sufficient funds to 

resolve identified disputes. 17 U.S.C. 

119(b)(5)(C), 801(b)(3)(C). 

On June 10, 2021, representatives of 

all the Allocation Phase (formerly 

‘‘Phase I’’) claimant categories 1 filed 

with the Judges a motion requesting a 

partial distribution amounting to 40% of 

the 2019 satellite royalty funds on 

deposit pursuant to section 801(b)(3)(C) 

of the Copyright Act. That statutory 

section requires that, before ruling on 

the motion, the Judges publish a notice 

in the Federal Register seeking 

responses to the motion for partial 

distribution to ascertain whether any 

claimant entitled to receive the subject 

royalties has a reasonable objection to 

the requested distribution. 17 U.S.C. 

801(b)(3)(C). 

Accordingly, this notice seeks 

comments from interested claimants on 

whether any reasonable objection exists 

that would preclude the distribution of 

40% of the 2019 satellite royalty funds 

to the Allocation Phase Claimants. 

Parties objecting to the proposed partial 

distribution must advise the Judges of 

the existence and extent of all their 

objections by the end of the comment 

period. The Judges will not consider any 

objections with respect to the partial 

distribution motion that come to their 

attention after the close of the comment 

period. 

Members of the public may read the 

motion by accessing the Copyright 

Royalty Board’s electronic filing and 

case management system at https://

app.crb.gov and searching for Docket 

No. 20–CRB–0009–SD (2019).
