BILLING CODE 4510–29–P 

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR 

Office of Workers’ Compensation 

Programs 

Proposed Extension of Existing 

Collection; Comment Request 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as 

part of its continuing effort to reduce 

paperwork and respondent burden, 

conducts a pre-clearance 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). 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 

Office of Workers’ Compensation 

Programs is soliciting comments 

concerning the proposed collection: 

Authorization for Release of Medical 

Information (CM–936). 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 

November 12, 2021. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments 

by mail, delivery service, or by hand to 

Ms. Anjanette Suggs, U.S. Department of 

Labor, 200 Constitution Ave. NW, Room 

S–3323, Washington, DC 20210; by fax 

(202) 354–9660; or by Email to 

Suggs.Anjanette@dol.gov. Please use 

only one method of transmission for 

comments (mail/delivery, fax, or Email). 

Please note that comments submitted 

after the comment period will not be 

considered. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background 

The Black Lung Benefits Act, as 

amended, 30 U.S.C. 901 et seq., and 20 

CFR 725.405 require that all relevant 

medical evidence be considered before 

a decision can be made regarding a 

claimant’s eligibility for benefits. By 

signing the CM–936 form, the claimant 

authorizes physicians, hospitals, 

medical facilities or organizations, and 

the National Institute for Occupational 

Safety and Health to release medical 

information about the miner to the 

Department of Labor’s Office of 

Workers’ Compensation Programs. The 

form contains information required by 

medical institutions and private 

physicians to enable them to release 

pertinent medical information. This 

information collection is currently 

approved for use through February 28, 

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 in order to obtain claimant 

consent for the release of medical 

information for consideration by the 

Office of Workers’ Compensation 

Programs in their claim for benefits. 

Failure to gather this information would 

inhibit the adjudication of black lung 

claims because pertinent medical data 

would not be available for consideration 

during the processing of the claim.
