• 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 of the
extension of this information collection
in order to determine if a coal mine or
Longshore company is potentially
eligible to become self-insured. The

the correct amounts of negotiable
securities are deposited or indemnity
bond is purchased or for Black Lung
only, a letter of credit or 501(c)(21) trust
that in case of default OWCP has the
authority to utilize the securities or
bond. If this Agreement and
Undertaking were not required, OWCP
would not be empowered to utilize the
company’s security deposit to meet its
financial responsibilities for the coal
mine and Longshore benefits in case of
default.
Type of Review: Extension.

Administration.
Titles: Agreement of Undertaking.
OMB Number: 1215–0034.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
DATES:
Background
Statistics collected and published by
the Federal Government constitute a
significant portion of the available
information about the United States’
economy, population, natural resources,
PO 00000
Frm 00062
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
environment, and public and private
institutions. These data are used by the
Federal Government and others as a
basis for actions that affect people’s
lives and well-being. It is essential that
they be collected, processed, and
published in a manner that guarantees
and inspires confidence in their
reliability. The statistical programs of
the Federal Government are
decentralized among more than 70
agencies or organizational units. It is
therefore also essential that, to the
extent permitted by law, there be
sufficient government-wide uniformity
in statistical methods and practices to
ensure the maximum usefulness of the
statistics produced.
The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA; 44 U.S.C. 3504) gives the Director
of OMB broad responsibility for
improving the usefulness of information
collected, maintained, and disseminated
by the Federal Government and for
reducing the reporting burden on the
public. Among the Director’s functions
under the PRA are statistical policy and
coordination, which includes the
development and implementation of
‘‘Government-wide polices, principles,
standards, and guidelines concerning (a)
statistical collection procedures and
methods; (b) statistical data
classification; (c) statistical information
presentation and dissemination; (d)
timely release of statistical data; and (e)
such statistical data sources as may be
required for the administration of
Federal programs’’ (44 U.S.C.
3504(e)(3)). The Administrator for the
Office of Information and Regulatory
Affairs in OMB has the responsibility to
‘‘develop programs and prescribe
regulations to improve the compilation,
analysis, publication, and dissemination
of statistical information by executive
agencies’’ (31 U.S.C. 1104(d)).
The proposal from the Federal
Committee on Statistical Methodology’s
(FCSM) Subcommittee on Standards for
Statistical Surveys provides revised
guidance for designing, conducting, and
disseminating statistical surveys and
studies sponsored by Federal agencies.
The standards and guidelines are
intended to ensure that such surveys
and studies are designed to produce
reliable data as efficiently as possible
and that methods are documented and
results presented in a manner that
makes the data as accessible and useful
as possible.
These revised standards and
guidelines would replace OMB
Statistical Policy Directives Nos. 1 and
2, on Standards for Statistical Surveys,
and Standards for Publishing Statistics,
respectively. These standards and
guidelines were last revised in 1974
