SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, conducts a preclearance consultation VerDate Nov<24>2008 17:43 Apr 01, 2009 Jkt 217001 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 the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval of the Information Collection: Overpayment Recovery Questionnaire (OWCP–20). 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 June 1, 2009. ADDRESSES: Mr. Steven D. Lawrence, U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Ave., NW., Room S–3201, Washington, DC 20210, telephone (202) 693–0292, fax (202) 693–1451, e-mail Lawrence.Steven@dol.gov. Please use only one method of transmission for comments (mail, fax, or e-mail). SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background This information collection is necessary to determine whether the recovery of any Black Lung, Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act (EEOICPA) or Federal Employees’ Compensation Act (FECA) overpayment, may be waived, compromised, terminated, or collected in full. Standards for Federal agency collection of government debts are regulated under the Federal Claims Collection Acts of 1966 and 1982 and the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996. In the Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs, collection information pertaining to the collection of accounts receivable is authorized under the Federal Coal Mine Health and Safety Act of 1969, as amended, 30 U.S.C. 923(b) and 20 CFR 725.544(c), the EEOICPA, 42 U.S.C. 7385j–2 and 20 CFR 30.510–30.520, and the Federal Employees’ Compensation Act, 5 U.S.C. 8129(b) and 20 CFR 10.430–10.441. The information will be used by OWCP examiners to ascertain the financial condition of the beneficiary to see if the PO 00000 Frm 00053 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 overpayment or any part can be recovered; to identify the possible concealment or improper transfer of assets; and to identify and consider present and potential income and current assets for enforced collection proceedings. The questionnaire provides a means for the beneficiary to explain why he/she is without fault in an overpayment matter. If this information were not collected Black Lung, EEOICPA and FECA would have little basis to decide on collection proceedings. This information collection is currently approved for use through October 31, 2009. 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 approval of the extension of this information collection in order to carry out its responsibility to assure payment of compensation benefits to injured workers at the proper rate. Type of Review: Extension. Agency: Employment Standards Administration. Titles: Overpayment Recovery Questionnaire (OWCP–20). OMB Number: 1215–0144. Agency Numbers: OWCP–20. Affected Public: Individuals or households. Total Respondents: 4,020. Total Annual Responses: 4,020. Estimated Total Burden Hours: 4,020. Estimated Time per Response: One hour. Frequency: On occasion and annually. Total Burden Cost (Capital/Startup): $0. E:\FR\FM\02APN1.SGM 02APN1
