Proposed Revision of the Approval of
Information Collection Requirements
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 its
proposal to extend OMB approval of the
information collection for the following
medical reports: Roentgenographic
Interpretation (CM–933),
Roentgenographic Quality Rereading
(CM–933b), Medical History and
Examination for Coal Mine Workers’
Pneumoconiosis (CM–988), Report of
Arterial Blood Gas Study (CM–1159),
and Report of Ventilatory Study (CM–
2907). 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
March 31, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
II. Review Focus
I. Background
The Black Lung Benefits Act of 1977
as amended, 20 U.S.C 901 et seq. and 20
CFR 718.102 set forth criteria for the
administration and interpretation of xrays. When a miner applies for benefits,
the Division of Coal Mine Workers’
Compensation (DCMWC) is required to
schedule a series of four diagnostic tests
to help establish eligibility for black
lung benefits. Each of the diagnostic
tests has its own form that sets forth the
medical results. The forms are:
Roentgenographic Interpretation (CM–
933), Roentgenographic Quality
Rereading (CM–933b), Medical History
and Examination for Coal Mine
Workers’ Pneumoconiosis (CM–988),
Report of Arterial Blood Gas Study
(CM–1159), and Report of Ventilatory
Study (CM–2907). This information
collection is currently approved for use
through July 31, 2008.
The Department of Labor seeks the
approval for the extension of this
currently approved information
collection in order to carry out its
responsibility to determine eligibility
for black lung benefits.
Type of Review: Extension.
Agency: Employment Standards
Administration.

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Introduction
Under section 101 of the Federal Mine
Safety and Health Act of 1977, a mine
operator may petition and the Secretary
of Labor (Secretary) may modify the
application of a mandatory safety
standard to that mine if the Secretary
determines that: (1) An alternative
method exists that will guarantee no
less protection for the miners affected
than that provided by the standard; or
(2) that the application of the standard
will result in a diminution of safety to
the affected miners.
MSHA bases the final decision on the
petitioner’s statements, any comments
and information submitted by interested
persons, and a field investigation of the
conditions at the mine. In some
instances, MSHA may approve a
petition for modification on the
condition that the mine operator
complies with other requirements noted
in the decision.
