ACTION:
Notice.
SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as
part of its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden,
conducts a preclearance consultation
program to provide the general public
and Federal agencies with an
opportunity to comment on proposed
and/or continuing collections of
PO 00000
Frm 00060
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
information in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA95) [44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)]. 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
Employment Standards Administration
is soliciting comments concerning the
proposed collection: Agreement and
Undertaking (OWCP–1). A copy of the
proposed information collection request
can be obtained by contacting the office
listed below in the addresses section of
this Notice.
DATES: Written comments must be
submitted to the office listed in the
addresses section below on or before
September 12, 2005.
ADDRESSES: Ms. Hazel M. Bell, U.S.
Department of Labor, 200 Constitution
Ave., NW., Room S–3201, Washington,
DC 20210, telephone (202) 693–0418,
fax (202) 693–1451, e-mail:
bell.hazel@dol.gov. Please use only one
method of transmission for comments
(mail, fax, or e-mail).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background: Coal Mine operators
and Longshore companies desiring to be
self-insurers are required by law (30
U.S.C. 933 BL and 33 U.S.C. 932 LS) to
produce security in terms of an
indemnity bond, security deposit, or for
Black Lung only, a letter of credit or
501(c)(21) trust. Once a company’s
application to become self-insured is
reviewed by the Division of Coal Mine
Workers; Compensation (DCMWC) or by
the Division of Longshore and Harbor
Workers’ Compensation (DLHWC) and it
is determined the company is
potentially eligible, an amount of
security is determined to guarantee the
payment of benefits required by the Act.
The OWCP–1 form is executed by the
self-insurer who agrees to abide by the
Department’s rules and authorizes the
Secretary, in the event of default, to file
suit to secure payment from a bond
underwriter or in the case of a Federal
Reserve account, to sell the securities
for the same purpose. A company
cannot be authorized to self-insure until
this requirement is met. Regulations
establishing this requirement are at 20
CFR 726.110 for Coal Mine/Black Lung
and 20 CFR 703.304 for Longshore. This
information collection is currently
approved for use through December 31,
2005.
II. Review Focus: The Department of
Labor is particularly interested in
comments which:
