Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3507(a)(1)(D).
This ICR
seeks to extend PRA authority for the
‘‘Coverage of Certain Preventive
Services Under the Affordable Care Act’’
information collection. The information
collection requires any plan established
or maintained by certain religious
employers (and group health insurance
coverage provided in connection with
such a plan) claiming exemption to
providing contraceptive service to selfcertify that it meets the definition of an
eligible organization. The eligible
organization provides its health
insurance issuer or third-party
administrator with a copy of the selfcertification. A third-party administrator
arranging or providing payments for
contraceptive services at no cost to
participants and beneficiaries in insured
or self-insured plans (or student
enrollees and covered dependents in
student health insurance coverage) of an
eligible organization is to provide a
written notice to plan participants and
beneficiaries (or such student enrollees
and covered dependents) informing
them of the availability of such
payments. The notice must be provided
contemporaneous with (to the extent
possible) but separate from plan
enrollment (or re-enrollment) materials,
and must specify that contraceptive
coverage will not be provided by the
eligible organization but that the thirdparty administrator will separately
arrange or provide payments for
contraceptive services. The notice must
also provide contact information for the
third-party administrator for questions
and complaints. To satisfy the notice
requirement, a third-party administrator
may use the model language set forth in
the final regulations or substantially
similar language. Form EBSA–700,
Eligible Organization Self-Certification,
may be used to make the certification to
the insurer. Interim final regulations
issued in 2014 provide for an alternative
notification to the Federal government
when an eligible organization has a
religious objection to providing
contraceptive coverage that still
preserves participants’ and
beneficiaries’ access to coverage for the

Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974 section 307 authorizes this
collection. See 29 U.S.C. 1185b.
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 1210–0150.
OMB authorization for an ICR cannot
be for more than three (3) years without
renewal, and the current approval for
this collection is scheduled to expire on
February 28, 2015. 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
December 11, 2014 (79 FR 73629).
Interested parties are encouraged to
send comments to the OMB, Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs at
the address shown in the ADDRESSES
section within thirty (30) days of
publication of this notice in the Federal
Register. In order to help ensure
appropriate consideration, comments
should mention OMB Control Number
1210–0150. The OMB 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

This ICR
seeks approval under the PRA for
revisions to the Notice of Final Payment
or Suspension of Compensation Benefits
information collection. The Notice of
Final Payment or Suspension of
Compensation Benefits, Form LS–208, is
used by insurance carriers and selfinsured employers to report the
payment of benefits under the
Longshore and Harbors Workers
Compensation Act. This information
collection has been classified as a
revision, because the Department has
made cosmetic changes to the Form LS–
208, such as expanding the size and
types of boxes used for responding.
These changes are not expected to
change the public burden. Longshore
and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act
section 914(g) authorizes this collection.
See 33 U.S.C. 914(g).
This information collection is subject

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Employment and Training
Administration
Notice To Ensure State Workforce
Agencies Are Aware of the Revised
Schedule of Remuneration for the
Unemployment Compensation for ExServicemembers (UCX) Program That
Reflects the Military Pay Increase
Effective January 1, 2015
Employment and Training
Administration, Labor.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
Each year, the Department of
Defense issues a Schedule of
Remuneration that may be used by
states, as needed, for UCX purposes.
States must use the schedule to
determine Federal military wages for
UCX ‘‘first claims’’ only when the
Federal Claims Control Center (FCCC)
responds to a request for information
indicating that there is no Copy 5 of the
Certificate of Release or Discharge from
Active Duty (DD Form 214) for an
individual under the social security
number provided. A response from the
FCCC that indicates ‘‘no DD214 on file’’
will prompt the state to start the
affidavit process and to use the attached
schedule to calculate the Federal
military wages for an unemployment
insurance or UCX monetary
determination.
The schedule applies to UCX ‘‘first
claims’’ filed beginning with the first
day of the first week that begins on or
after January 1, 2015, pursuant to the
UCX program regulations (see 20 CFR
614.12(c)). States must continue to use
the existing schedule for UCX ‘‘first
claims’’ filed before the effective date of
the revised schedule.
