SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Individuals filing with the OWCP and
Division of Coal Mine Workers’
Compensation (DCMWC) for benefits
under the Black Lung Benefits Act may
elect to be represented or assisted by an
attorney or other representative. For
those cases that are approved, 30 U.S.C.
901 of the Black Lung Benefits Act and
20 CFR 725.365–6 of the Black Lung
Regulations established standards for
the information and documentation that
must be submitted to the program for
review so that the representative may be
paid for services rendered to the
claimant. Upon receipt of that evidence,
the adjudicating official is required by
regulation to evaluate the application
and, based on the supporting
information in the claim file, approve a
fee for services rendered. To assist the
representatives participating in the
Black Lung Benefits Program a form,
CM–972, was devised to provide a
standardized format for submitting
information required by regulation.
Form CM–972 is sent to and
completed by the authorized
representative of a black lung claimant
whose claim has been approved for
benefits. The completed form is then
returned to and evaluated by the district
director, administrative law judge, or
appropriate appellate tribunal before
whom the claimed services were
performed, and a fee amount is
determined.
This information collection is subject
to the PRA. A Federal agency generally
cannot conduct or sponsor a collection
of information, and the public is
generally not required to respond to an
information collection, unless it is
currently approved by the OMB under
the PRA and displays a currently valid
OMB Control Number. In addition,
notwithstanding any other provisions of
law, no person shall generally be subject
to penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information if the
collection of information does not
display a currently valid OMB control
number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and
1320.6. The DOL obtains OMB approval
for this information collection under
OMB Control Number 1240–0011. The
current OMB approval is scheduled to
expire on December 31, 2010; however,
it should be noted that information
collections submitted to the OMB
receive a month-to-month extension
while they undergo review. For
additional information, see the related
notice published in the Federal Register
on August 20, 2010 (75 FR 51487).
Interested parties are encouraged to
send comments to the OMB, Office of

section within 30 days of publication of
this notice in the Federal Register. In
order to ensure the appropriate
consideration, comments should
reference OMB Control Number 1240–
0011. The OMB is particularly
interested in comments that:
• 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 submission of
responses.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The National Longitudinal Survey of
Youth 1997 (NLSY97) is a nationally
representative sample of persons who
were born in the years 1980 to 1984.
These respondents were ages 12–17
when the first round of annual
interviews began in 1997; the fifteenth
round of annual interviews will be
conducted from September 2011 to May
2012. The Bureau of Labor Statistics
(BLS) contracts with the National
Opinion Research Center (NORC) at the
University of Chicago to conduct the
NLSY97. The primary objective of the
survey is to study the transition from
schooling to the establishment of careers
and families. The longitudinal focus of
this survey requires information to be
collected from the same individuals
over many years in order to trace their
education, training, work experience,
fertility, income, and program
participation.
One of the goals of the Department of
Labor (DOL) is to produce and
disseminate timely, accurate, and
E:\FR\FM\22DEN1.SGM
22DEN1
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 245 / Wednesday, December 22, 2010 / Notices
relevant information about the U.S.
labor force. The BLS contributes to this
goal by gathering information about the
labor force and labor market and
disseminating it to policymakers and
the public so that participants in those
markets can make more informed, and
thus more efficient, choices. Research
based on the NLSY97 contributes to the
formation of national policy in the areas
of education, training, work experience,
fertility, income, and program
participation. In addition to the reports
that the BLS produces based on data
from the NLSY97, members of the
academic community publish articles
and reports based on NLSY97 data for
the DOL and other funding agencies. To
date, approximately 160 articles
examining NLSY97 data have been
published in scholarly journals. The
survey design provides data gathered
from the same respondents over time to
form the only dataset that contains this
type of information for this important
population group. Without the
collection of these data, an accurate
longitudinal dataset could not be
provided to researchers and
policymakers, thus adversely affecting
the DOL’s ability to perform its policyand report-making activities.

II. Current Action
The BLS seeks approval to conduct
round 15 of annual interviews of the
NLSY97. Respondents to the NLSY97
will undergo an interview of
approximately 65 minutes during which
they will answer questions about
schooling and labor market experiences,
family relationships, and community
background.
During the fielding period for the
main round 15 interviews, about 2
percent of respondents will be asked to
participate in a brief validation
interview a few weeks after the initial
interview. The purpose of the validation
interview is to verify that the initial
interview took place as the interviewer
reported and to assess the data quality
of selected questionnaire items.
The BLS plans to record randomly
selected segments of the main
interviews during round 15. Recording
interviews helps the BLS and NORC to
ensure that the interviews actually took
place and that interviewers are reading
the questions exactly as worded and
entering the responses properly.
Recording also helps to identify parts of
the interview that might be causing

problems or misunderstanding for
interviewers or respondents. Each
respondent will be informed that the
interview may be recorded for quality
control, testing, and training purposes.
If the respondent objects to the
recording of the interview, the
interviewer will confirm to the
respondent that the interview will not
be recorded and then proceed with the
interview.
During round 15, the BLS proposes to
administer a noninterview respondent
questionnaire to sample members who
have missed at least five consecutive
rounds and who do not complete the
round 15 interview on first approach.
Responses to this questionnaire will
enable the BLS and NORC to learn more
about long-term nonrespondents and
therefore understand attrition patterns
and any nonresponse bias. Other
changes in round 15 include collecting
permission forms from respondents to
obtain their college transcripts.
Permission forms were sought in round
14 from respondents who had received
a high school diploma or GED credential
or completed coursework in a
postsecondary degree program. During
round 15, BLS and NORC plan to seek
permission forms from individuals who
have not yet provided one, primarily
those who did not complete the round
14 interview or who completed it by
phone rather than in person.
The round 15 questionnaire includes
questions on work schedules for
respondents and their spouses or
partners. The round 15 questionnaire
also includes questions about the lowest
wage at which a respondent would
accept a job offer (known to labor
economists as the reservation wage) and
about the hours of desired work for such
an offer. Questions will be asked about
respondents’ handedness, or left/right
dominance, which is of interest to
psychologists and neurologists, who
have documented handedness as
predictive of later neurological
conditions. In addition, handedness has
been studied as a predictor of workplace
injuries.
As in prior rounds of the NLSY97,
round 15 will include a pretest
conducted several months before the
main fielding to test survey procedures
and questions and resolve problems
before the main fielding begins. The
Round 15 pretest will include a trial
collection of birth certificates on a small
number of survey respondents. Birth

certificates are the optimal source of
information about birth weight, a
measure of considerable research
interest given its relationship with child
development, lifetime obesity, and other
outcomes. This trial collection of birth
certificates will provide insight into
respondent reactions and concerns
regarding the release of administrative
records and the logistical issues
surrounding the handling, acquiring,
and coding of such documents. The
round 15 pretest also will include a trial
Internet collection of selected
information used to locate respondents
for interviews. The purpose of the trial
is to determine whether Internet
collection yields information of higher
quality when compared to the current
method of collecting the information as
part of the interview. The Internet trial
also will be used to assess respondent
acceptance of Internet collection
generally and whether such collection
can reduce respondent burden without
reducing the quality of the survey
information.
III. Desired Focus of Comments
The Bureau of Labor Statistics is
particularly interested in comments
that:
• 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.
• 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.
