Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3507(a)(1)(D). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR 

seeks to extend PRA authority for the 

Carrier’s Report of Issuance of Policy 

(Form LS–570) that an authorized 

insurance carrier may use to report the 

policy of insurance issued for each 

insured employer. This form is to be 

sent to the Deputy Commissioner in the 

compensation district indicated by the 

employer’s address. Longshore and 

Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act 

(LHWCA) section 32(a) requires each 

covered employer to secure its LHWCA 

liabilities either by purchasing a policy 

of insurance from an authorized carrier 

or by qualifying as a self-insurer. See 33 

U.S.C. 932(a). Regulations 20 CFR 

703.116 requires an authorized carrier to 

report to the OWCP each policy the 

carrier has issued to an employer. 

LHWCA section 32(a) authorizes this 

information collection. See 33 U.S.C. 

932(a). 

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 1240–0004. 

OMB authorization for an ICR cannot 

be for more than three (3) years without 

renewal, and the DOL seeks to extend 

PRA authorization for this information 

collection for three (3) more years, 

without any change to existing 

requirements. The DOL notes that 

existing information collection 

requirements submitted to the OMB 

receive a month-to-month extension 

while they undergo review. For 

additional substantive information 

about this ICR, see the related notice 

published in the Federal Register on 

August 3, 2015 (80 FR 46057). 

Interested parties are encouraged to 

send comments to the OMB, Office of 

Information and Regulatory Affairs at

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR 

seeks to extend PRA authority for the 

Escape and Evacuation Plans for Surface 

Coal Mines and Surface Facilities and 

Surface Work Areas of Underground 

Coal Mines information collection 

requirements codified in regulations 30 

CFR 77.1101 that requires operators of 

surface coal mines and surface facilities 

and surface work areas of underground 

coal mines to establish and to keep 

current a specific escape and evacuation 

plan to be followed in the event of a fire. 

The plan is used to instruct employees 

in the proper method of exiting work 

areas in the event of a fire. The MSHA, 

mine operators, and others also use the 

escape and evacuation plan in rescue 

and recovery efforts. Federal Mine 

Safety and Health Act of 1977 sections 

101(a) and 103(h) authorize this 

information collection. See 30 U.S.C. 

811 and 30 U.S.C. 813(h). 

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,
