DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Office of Workers’ Compensation
Programs
Proposed Renewal of Existing
Collection; Comment Request
ACTION:
Notice.
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 Office
of Workers’ Compensation Programs is
soliciting comments concerning the
proposed collection: Agreement and
Undertaking (OWCP–1). 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
October 21, 2011.
ADDRESSES: Mr. Vincent Alvarez, U.S.
Department of Labor, 200 Constitution
Ave., NW., Room S–3201, Washington,
DC 20210, telephone (202) 693–0372,
fax (202) 693–2447, E-mail

only one method of transmission for
comments (mail, fax, or E-mail).

SUMMARY:
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
I. Background: Coal mine operators
desiring to be self-insurers are required
by law (30 U.S.C. 933 BL) to produce
security by way of an indemnity bond,
VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:16 Aug 19, 2011
Jkt 223001
security deposit, a letter of credit, or
501(c)(21) trust. Once a company’s
application to become self-insured is
reviewed by the Division of Coal Mine
Workers’ Compensation (DCMWC) and
it is determined the company is
potentially eligible, an amount of
security is determined to guarantee the
payment of benefits required by the Act.
The OWCP–1 form is executed by the
self-insurer who agrees to abide by the
Department’s rules and authorizes the
Secretary, in the event of default, to file
suit to secure payment from a bond
underwriter or in the case of a Federal
Reserve account, to sell the securities
for the same purpose. A company
cannot be authorized to self-insure until
this requirement is met. Regulations
establishing this requirement are at 20
CFR 726.110 for Black Lung. This
information collection is currently
approved for use through October 31,
2011.
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 currently approved
information collection in order to
determine if a coal mine company is
potentially eligible to become selfinsured. The information is reviewed to
insure that the correct amounts of
negotiable securities are deposited or
indemnity bond is purchased and that
in a case of default OWCP has the
authority to utilize the securities or
bond. If this Agreement and
Undertaking were not required, OWCP
would not be empowered to utilize the
company’s security deposit to meet its
financial responsibilities for the
payment of black lung benefits in case
of default.

Engineering (SCORE) Committee, an
interagency working group that
coordinates cyber security research
activities in support of national security
systems, is seeking expert participants
in a day-long workshop on the pros and
cons of the Security of Distributed Data
Schemes. The workshop will be held
October 21, 2011 in Gaithersburg, MD.
Applications will be accepted until
5 p.m. EST September 21, 2011.
Accepted participants will be notified
by October 1, 2011.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Overview: This notice is issued by the
National Coordination Office for the
Networking and Information
Technology Research and Development
(NITRD) Program on behalf of the
SCORE Committee.
Background: There is a strong and
often repeated call for research to
provide novel cyber security solutions.
The rhetoric of this call is to elicit new
solutions that are radically different
from existing solutions. Continuing
research that achieves only incremental
improvements is a losing proposition.
We are lagging behind and need
technological leaps to get, and keep,
ahead of adversaries who are themselves
rapidly improving attack technology. To
answer this call, we must examine the
key assumptions that underlie current
security architectures. Challenging those
assumptions both opens up the
possibilities for novel solutions and
provides an even stronger basis for
moving forward on those assumptions
that are well-founded. The SCORE
Committee is conducting a series of four
workshops to begin the assumption
buster process. The assumptions that
underlie this series are as follows: Cyber
space is an adversarial domain; the
adversary is tenacious, clever, and
capable; and re-examining cyber
security solutions in the context of these
assumptions will result in key insights
that will lead to the novel solutions we
desperately need. To ensure that our
discussion has the requisite adversarial
flavor, we are inviting researchers who
develop solutions of the type under
discussion, and researchers who exploit
these solutions. The goal is to engage in
robust debate of topics generally
believed to be true to determine to what
extent that claim is warranted. The
adversarial nature of these debates is
meant to ensure the threat environment
is reflected in the discussion in order to
elicit innovative research concepts that
will have a greater chance of having a
sustained positive impact on our cyber
security posture.
The fourth topic to be explored in this
series is cloud computing. The
PO 00000
Frm 00051
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

workshop on this topic will be held in
Gaithersburg, MD on October 21, 2011.
Assertion: ‘‘Current implementations
of cloud computing indicate a new
approach to security’’
Implementations of cloud computing
have provided new ways of thinking
about how to secure data and
computation. Cloud is a platform upon
which we leverage various
opportunities to improve the way in
which we think about and implement
the practices and technology needed to
secure the things that matter most to us.
Current implementations of cloud
computing security take advantage of
the unique capabilities and
architectures of cloud computing (e.g.
scale).
Working from this assertion, we want
researchers and cloud implementers to
submit, as part of your application to
participate in the October 21st
Assumption Buster Workshop, a onepage paper stating your opinion of the
assertion and outlining your key
thoughts on the topic. Below are some
additional areas to explore stated
specifically in strong language
supportive of the assertion.
—Controls on provider side, controls on
the subscribe-side, and controls of the
shared space in cloud
implementations can be defined in
ways that allow for a comprehensive
view of the cloud security landscape
to displayed and managed.
—A common security risk model can be
leveraged when assessing cloud
computing services and products, and
use of this model provides a
consistent baseline for Cloud based
technologies.
—Cloud computing security is a natural
fit when examined against the Federal
cybersecurity research themes focused
on designed-in-security, tailored
trustworthy spaces, moving target,
and cyber economic incentives. These
themes will be best demonstrated
using Cloud Computing.
—Opportunities exist to create existence
proofs for specific security
improvements such as minimal
kernels that can be formally verified
which could provide a stronger basis
for virtual machines.
—We can establish a trust boundary
remote-control that allows a cloud
customer to directly control system
boundaries.
—Credible explications of security
priorities are possible thus enabling
customers to obtain a complete
picture and insight into the security
offered by their cloud
implementation.
—Cloud customers are able to measure
the strength of the logical separation
