SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VerDate Mar<15>2010 18:06 Dec 22, 2010 Jkt 223001 901 et seq.), which provides benefits to coal miners totally disabled due to pneumoconiosis, and their surviving dependents. When the 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–2790 and CM–2970 are used for claims filed after January 19, 2001, and indicate that the coal mine operator will submit additional evidence or respond to the notice of claim. 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 1240–033. 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 51488). Interested parties are encouraged to send comments to the OMB, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs at the address shown in the ADDRESSES 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– 0033. 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; PO 00000 Frm 00064 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 80849 • 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. Agency: Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs (OWCP).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mattie Cohan, Senior Assistant General Counsel, Legal Services Corporation, 3333 K Street, NW., Washington, DC 20007, 202–295–1624 (phone), 202– 337–6519 (fax), or mcohan@lsc.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 2000, the Legal Services Corporation (LSC) Board of Directors first adopted a Strategic Directions document for the period of 2000–2005. In 2006, the LSC Board adopted Strategic Directions 2006–2010. The expiring LSC Strategic Directions 2006–2010 document is available at the LSC Electronic Public Reading Room on the LSC Web site at: https://www.lsc.gov/pdfs/ LSCStrategicDirections20062010.pdf. LSC is now undertaking an effort to develop a new Strategic Plan for the years 2011–2015. Toward that end, LSC is soliciting suggestions for updating, revising and modifying LSC’s Strategic Directions. In particular, LSC is actively seeking input from the public and all interested stakeholders, who are asked to address: • To what extent are the goals, objectives and strategies set forth in the Strategic Directions 2006–2010 document still appropriate? To what extent are they obsolete? • Beyond those identified in response to the question above, what are realistic yet meaningful goals? • How may LSC most effectively achieve its identified goals? What revised objectives and/or strategies are appropriate for LSC to consider? In addition, LSC notes that the Strategic Directions adopted in 2000 and 2006 were called ‘‘Strategic Directions’’ rather than a ‘‘strategic plan’’ because they did not set forth significant performance measures. The Board is interested in considering the development of appropriate performance measures by which the Corporation’s progress in achieving its strategic goals and objectives may be determined. To that end, comments are requested to address suggestions regarding whether and how LSC may incorporate performance measures into its strategic planning efforts. In addition, Among other sources, LSC is considering the guidance provided by the Office of Management and Budget as set forth in: https:// www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/ omb/assets/memoranda_2010/m1024.pdf and https://www.whitehouse.gov/ omb/circulars_a11_current_ year_a11_toc/. Although LSC is not PO 00000 Frm 00065 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 subject to the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA), LSC has looked to GPRA for guidance. LSC welcomes comments on GPRA as a model for LSC as well as suggestions for other strategic planning models and guidance that LSC should consider. Finally, LSC also welcomes comments on whether there are different or additional questions that LSC should consider in its work on strategic directions for 2011–2015. Comments should be submitted as set forth above. This request for comments is intended for use as LSC embarks on its planning process. LSC anticipates publishing a draft Strategic Plan for additional public comment. Mattie Cohan, Senior Assistant General Counsel.
