Proposed Extension of Existing
Collection; Comment Request
ACTION:
Notice.
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 proposal to extend OMB
approval of the information collection:
Notice of Issuance of Insurance Policy
(CM–921). A copy of the proposed
information collection request can be
obtained by contacting the office listed
below in the addresses section of this
Notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background: Section 423 of the
Black Lung Benefits Act, as amended,
requires that a responsible coal mine
operator be insured and outlines the
items each contract of insurance must
contain. It also enumerates the civil
penalties to which a responsible coal
mine operator is subject, should these
procedures not be followed. Further, 20
CFR par V, subpart C, 726.208–213
requires that each insurance carrier
shall report to the Division of Coal Mine
Workers’ Compensation (DCMWC) each
policy and endorsement issued,
cancelled, or renewed with respect to
responsible operators. It states that this
report will be made in such manner and
on such a form as DCMWC may require.
The CM–921 is the form completed by
the insurance carrier and forwarded to
DCMWC for review. It is also required
that if a policy is issued or renewed for
more than one operator, a separate
report for each operator shall be
submitted. This information collection
is currently approved for use through
July 31, 2016.
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 the approval for the
extension of this currently-approved
information collection in order to
identify operators who have secured
insurance for payment of black lung
benefits as required by the Act.
Type of Review: Extension.

I. General Information
The Pro Bono Innovation Fund was
created after the LSC Board of Directors
formed a Pro Bono Task Force in 2011
to identify ways to better engage pro
bono lawyers and other volunteers to
serve low-income people. One
recommendation of the Pro Bono Task
Force was to create a competitive
Innovation Fund grant program. On
January 17, 2014, the President signed
Public Law 113–76, the Consolidated
Appropriations Act of 2014, which
included $2.5 million in LSC’s
appropriation for the Pro Bono
Innovation Fund. In its first year of
grant making, LSC funded eleven
projects seeking to address the critical
legal needs of underserved populations
with more pro bono volunteers,
significant collaboration, and
technology enhancements. The
Consolidated and Further Continuing
Appropriations Act, 2015, Public Law
113–235 (December 16, 2014) increased
LSC’s appropriation for the Pro Bono
Innovation Fund to $4 million and LSC
funded an additional fifteen projects in
FY15. On December 18, 2015, the
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2016,
Public Law 114–113 provided $4
million for the Pro Bono Innovation
Fund.
In 2016, the Pro Bono Innovation
Fund will continue to advance LSC’s
goal of increasing the quantity and
quality of legal services provided to
eligible people. Applicants to the Pro
Bono Innovation Fund should identify
the most pressing unmet client needs
and how pro bono volunteers will be
used to address those needs. Projects
funded by the Pro Bono Innovation
Fund will serve as demonstration efforts
to strengthen pro bono service delivery
and improve low income persons’
access to high quality legal assistance
through coordinated legal delivery
systems.
II. Funding Opportunity Information
A. Pro Bono Innovation Fund Purpose
and Key Goals
The purpose of the Pro Bono
Innovation Fund is to develop and
enhance pro bono programs that serve
larger numbers of low-income clients
and that improve the quality and
effectiveness of the services clients
receive by using pro bono volunteers.
Projects should be innovative (new,
replicable models and approaches to pro
bono delivery) or replicate prior
successful models.
The Pro Bono Innovation Fund is
designed to address issues identified in
the 2012 report of LSC’s Pro Bono Task
Force. The report provides a summary
