Proposed Collection; Comment
Request
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
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: Operator Response
to Schedule for Submission of
Additional Evidence (CM–2970) and
Operator Response to Notice of Claim
(CM–2970A). 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
July 16, 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Division of Coal Mine Workers’
Compensation administers the Black
Lung Benefits Act (30 U.S.C. 901 et seq.)
which provides benefits to coal miners
totally disabled due to pneumoniosis,
PO 00000
Frm 00056
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
and their surviving dependents. When
the Division of Coal Mine Workers’
Compensation (DCMWC) makes a
preliminary analysis of a claimant’s
eligibility for benefits, and if a coal mine
operator has been identified as
potentially liable for payment of those
benefits, the responsible operator is
notified of the preliminary analysis.
Regulations require that a coal mine
operator be identified and notified of
potential liability as early in the
adjudication process as possible. Forms
CM–970 and CM–970a are now obsolete
and renewal will not be requested in the
extension request for information
collection 1215–0058. The CM–970 and
CM–970a will be replaced by CM–2970
and CM–2970a. Regulatory authority is
found in 20 CFR 725.410 for the CM–
2970 and 20 CFR 725.408 for the CM–
2970A. This information collection is
currently approved for use through
October 31, 2007.
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
extension of approval to collect this
information in order to carry out its
responsibility to administer the Black
Lung Benefits Act.
Type of Review: Revision.
Agency: Employment Standards
Administration.

of 1938, as amended (29 U.S.C. 205,
206(a)(3)), Reorganization Plan No. 6 of
1950 (3 CFR 1949–53 Comp., p. 1004),
and 29 CFR part 511, I hereby appoint
special Industry Committee No. 27 for
American Samoa.
2. Pursuant to sections 5, 6(a)(3), and
8 of the FLSA, as amended (29 U.S.C.
205, 206(a)(3), and 208), Reorganization
Plan No. 6 of 1950 (3 CFR 1949–53
Comp., p. 1004), and 29 CFR part 511,
I hereby:
(a) Convene the above-appointed
industry committee;
(b) Refer to the industry committee
the question of the minimum rate or
rates for all industries in American
Samoa to be paid under section 6(a)(3)
of the FLSA, as amended; and,
(c) Give notice of the hearing to be
held by the committee at the time and
place indicated.
The industry committee shall
investigate conditions in such industries
and the committee, or any authorized
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 211001
subcommittee thereof, shall hear such
witnesses and receive such evidence as
may be necessary or appropriate to
enable the committee to perform its
duties and functions under the FLSA.
The committee shall meet in
executive session to commence its
investigation at 9 a.m. and begin its
public hearing at 11 a.m. on June 18,
2007, in Pago Pago, American Samoa.
3. The rate or rates recommended by
the committee shall not exceed the rate
prescribed by FLSA section 6(a)(1), as
amended.
The committee shall recommend to
the Administrator of the Wage and Hour
Division of the Department of Labor the
highest minimum rate or rates of wages
for such industries that it determines,
having due regard to economic and
competitive conditions, will not
substantially curtail employment in
such industries, and will not give any
industry in American Samoa a
competitive advantage over any
industry in the United States outside of
American Samoa.
4. Where the committee finds that a
higher minimum wage may be
determined for employees engaged in
certain activities or in the manufacture
of certain products in the industry than
may be determined for other employees
in the industry, the committee shall
recommend such reasonable
classifications within the industry as it
determines to be necessary for the
purpose of fixing for each classification
the highest minimum wage rate that can
be determined for it under the
principles set forth herein and in 29
CFR 511.10, that will not substantially
curtail employment in such
classification and will not give a
competitive advantage to any group in
the industry. No classification shall be
made, however, and no minimum wage
rate shall be fixed solely on a regional
basis or on the basis of age or sex. In
determining whether there should be
classifications within an industry, in
making such classifications, and in
determining the minimum wage rates
for such classifications, the committee
shall consider, among other relevant
factors, the following:
PO 00000
Frm 00057
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
(a) Competitive conditions as affected
by transportation, living, and
production costs;
(b) Wages established for work of like
or comparable character by collective
labor agreements negotiated between
employers and employees by
representatives of their own choosing;
and
(c) Wages paid for work of like or
comparable character by employers who
voluntarily maintain minimum wage
standards in the industry.
5. Prior to the hearing, the
Administrator of the Wage and Hour
Division, U.S. Department of Labor,
shall prepare an economic report
containing the information that has been
assembled pertinent to the matters
referred to the committee. Copies of this
report may be obtained at the Office of
the Governor, Pago Pago, American
Samoa, the National Office of the Wage
and Hour Division, U.S. Department of
Labor, Washington, DC 20210, or the
Wage and Hour Division Web site
(www.wagehour.dol.gov). Upon request,
the Wage and Hour Division will mail
copies to interested persons who make
a written request to the Wage and Hour
Division. To facilitate mailing, such
persons should make advance written
request to the Wage and Hour Division.
The committee will take official notice
of the facts stated in this report. Parties,
however, shall be afforded an
opportunity to refute such facts by
evidence received at the hearing.
6. The provisions of Title 29, Code of
Federal Regulations, part 511, will
govern the procedure of this industry
committee. Copies of this part of the
regulations will be available at the
Office of the Governor, Pago Pago,
American Samoa, the National Office of
the Wage and Hour Division, and the
Wage and Hour Division Web site at
www.dol.gov/dol/allcfr/ESA/Title_29/
