Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3507(a)(1)(D). This ICR seeks approval under the PRA for revisions to the Claim Adjudication Process for Alleged Presence of Pneumoconiosis information collection. Regulations 20 CFR 718, subpart B establishes the relevant medical evidence development criteria regarding coal miners who apply for Black Lung Benefits Act (30 U.S.C. 901 et seq.) payments. The Division of Coal Mine Workers’ Compensation is required to schedule a series of four diagnostic tests to help establish eligibility for black lung benefits. Each diagnostic test has its own form setting forth the medical results: Roentgenographic Interpretation (Form CM–933), Roentgenographic Quality Rereading (Form CM–933b), Medical History and Examination for Coal Mine Workers’ Pneumoconiosis (Form CM–988), Report of Arterial Blood Gas Study (CM–1159), and Report of Ventilatory Study (Form CM–2907). In addition, regulations 20 CFR 718.102 sets forth standards for accompanying chest radiographs (x-rays). This information collection has been classified as a revision, because the OWCP has made several clarifications to the data collection Federal Mine Safety and Health Act section 508 authorizes this information collection. See 30 U.S.C. 957. 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 nlaroche on DSK30NT082PROD with NOTICES SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VerDate Sep<11>2014 14:54 May 30, 2017 Jkt 241001 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 1240–0023. The current approval is scheduled to expire on May 31, 2017; however, the DOL notes that existing information collection requirements submitted to the OMB receive a month-to-month extension while they undergo review. New requirements would only take effect upon OMB approval. For additional substantive information about this ICR, see the related notice published in the Federal Register on February 10, 2017 (82 FR 10411). 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks to revise the Comparability
of Current Work to Coal Mine Employment (Form CM-913) information
collection that helps to ensure compensation paid to a claimant is
accurate. Once a miner has been identified as having performed non-coal
mine work subsequent to coal mine employment, the miner or the miner's
survivor completes Form CM-913. The OWCP uses information provided to
compare physical demands of the miner's coal mine work with those of
his or her last or current non-coal mine work. This ICR has been
classified as a revision, because the OWCP has clarified the
information sought by asking questions that are more specific. Federal
Mine Safety and Health Act section 508 authorizes this information
collection. See 30 U.S.C. 957.
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 1240-0035. The current approval is scheduled to
expire on May 31, 2017; however, the DOL notes that existing
information collection requirements submitted to the OMB receive a
month-to-month extension while they undergo review. New requirements
would only take effect upon OMB approval. For additional substantive
information about this ICR, see the related notice published in the
Federal Register on February 10, 2017 (82 FR 10412).
