This ICR
seeks to extend PRA authority for the
Application for Approval of a
Representative’s Fee in Black Lung
Claim Proceedings Conducted by the
U.S. Department of Labor that uses
Form CM–972. An individual filing
with the OWCP, Division of Coal Mine
Workers’ Compensation for benefits
under the Black Lung Benefits Act
(BLBA), 30 U.S.C. 901 et seq., may elect
to be represented or assisted by an
attorney or other representative. The
BLBA and regulations 20 CFR
725.365and 725.366 have established
standards for the information and
documentation that must be submitted
to the program for review, so the
representative in approved cases may be
paid for services rendered to the
claimant. Upon receipt of that evidence,
the adjudicating official evaluates the
application and, based on the
supporting information in the claim file,
approves a fee for services rendered.
Form CM–972 provides a standardized
format that assists representatives
participating in the Black Lung Benefits
Program to submit the required
information. BLBA sections 422 and 426
authorize this information collection.
See 30 U.S.C. 932 and 936.
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 1240–0011.
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
March 31, 2017. 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
November 9, 2016 (81 FRN 78862).
Interested parties are encouraged to
send comments to the OMB, Office of

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
1240–0011. 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
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 submission of
responses.

Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3507(a)(1)(D).
This ICR
seeks approval under the PRA for
revisions to the Survey of Occupational
Injuries and Illnesses (SOII) information
collection. The SOII is the primary
indicator of the Nation’s progress in
providing every working man and
woman safe and healthful working
conditions. The survey measures the
overall rate of work injuries and
illnesses by industry. Survey data are
also used to evaluate the effectiveness of
Federal and State programs and to
prioritize scarce resources. Respondents
include employers who maintain related
records in accordance with the
Occupational Safety and Health Act
(OSH Act) and employers who are
normally exempt from such
recordkeeping. Each year a sample of
exempt employers is required to keep
records and participate in the survey.
This information collection is classified
as a revision, because of the addition of
a one-time pilot test entitled the
Household Survey of Occupational
Injuries and Illnesses (HSOII) to this
information collection. The BLS will
use HSOII Pilot Test data collected to (1)
test the feasibility of collecting
occupational injuries and illness from
workers directly: (2) To estimate the
burden of occupational injuries and
illnesses in the U.S.; and (3) to compare
against occupational injury and illness
estimates from the SOII at the national
level and for broad industries and
occupations. OSH Act section 24(a)
authorizes this information collection.
See 29 U.S.C. 673.
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
