SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as

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

collection instruments are clearly

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:

proposed information collection request

amended, 30 U.S.C. 901 et seq. and 20
CFR 725.405 require that all relevant
medical evidence be considered before
a decision can be made regarding a
claimant’s eligibility for benefits. The

the claimant’s consent for medical
institutions and private physicians to
release medical information to the
Division of Coal Mine Workers’
Compensation (DCMWC). The form may
be completed by the claimant and the
claims examiner (CE). This information
collection is currently approved for use
through October 31, 2009.
