Programs 

Proposed Collection of Information; 

Comment Request 

AGENCY: Division of Coal Mine Workers’ 

Compensation, Office of Workers’ 

Compensation Programs, Department of 

Labor. 

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. 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 

(OWCP) is soliciting comments 

concerning the proposed collection: 

Application For Self-Insurance Under 

The Black Lung Benefits Act, 1240– 

0NEW (CM–2017; CM–2017a; CM– 

2017b). 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 

received by the office listed in the 

addresses section below by December 

29, 2017. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments 

by mail, delivery service, or by hand to 

Ms. Yoon Ferguson, U.S. Department of 

Labor, 200 Constitution Ave. NW., 

Room S–3323, Washington, DC 20210; 

by fax to (202) 354–9647; or by Email to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background: The Department of 

Labor is requesting an approval of a new 

information collection. This information 

collection is essential to the mission of 

OWCP’s Division of Coal Mine Workers’ 

Compensation, which administers the 

Black Lung Benefits Act (BLBA), 30 

U.S.C. 901 et seq. The statute grants the 

Department authority to authorize and 

regulate coal mine operators who wish 

to self-insure their BLBA liabilities. 30 

U.S.C. 933. This information collection 

would provide OWCP with sufficient 

information to determine whether a coal 

mine operator should be (or continue to 

be) authorized to self-insure. The 

information would also allow OWCP to 

determine the security amount a coal 

mine operator must deposit to guarantee 

that it will be able to meet its BLBA 

liabilities. 

II. Review Focus: The Department is 

particularly interested in comments that 

will help it to: 

* 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 

seeks the approval of this new 

information collection to carry out its 

responsibility to administer the BLBA. 

Agency: Office of Workers’ 

Compensation Programs. 

Type of Review: New Collection 

(Request for New OMB Control 

Number).
