Jkt 226001
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
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 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 1205–0457. The current
OMB approval is scheduled to expire on
May 31, 2012; however, it should be
noted that existing information
collection requirements submitted to the
OMB receive a month-to-month
extension while they undergo review.
New provisions would only take effect
after OMB approves them. For
additional information, see the related
notice published in the Federal Register
on March 27, 2012 (77 FR 18267).
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 help ensure appropriate
consideration, comments should
reference OMB Control Number 1205–
0457. 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.

Division of Coal Mine Workers’
Compensation Proposed Extension 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 pre-clearance 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: Authorization for
Release of Medical Information (CM–
936). 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
July 30, 2012.

Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 105 / Thursday, May 31, 2012 / Notices
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Black Lung Benefits Act, as
amended, 30 U.S.C. 901, and 20 CFR
725.405, requires that all relevant
medical evidence be considered before
a decision can be made regarding a
claimant’s eligibility for benefits. The
CM–936 is a form that gives the
claimant’s consent for release of
information, required by the Privacy
Act, and contains information required
by medical institutions and private
physicians to enable them to release
pertinent medical information. This
information collection is currently
approved for use through November 30,
2012.
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

* Enhance the quality, utility and

other forms of information technology,

III. Current Actions
The Department of Labor seeks
approval for the extension of this
currently-approved information
collection in order to obtain claimant
consent for the release of medical
information for consideration by the
Division of Coal Mine Workers’
Compensation as evidence to support
their claim for benefits. Failure to gather
this information would inhibit the
adjudication of black lung claims
because pertinent medical data would
not be available for consideration during
the processing of the claim.

System of Records Notices
National Archives and Records
Administration.
ACTION: Notice; new privacy system of
records titled ‘‘Internal Collaboration
Network’’.
AGENCY:
The National Archives and
Records Administration (NARA)
proposes to add a system of records to
its existing inventory of systems subject
to the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended
(5 U.S.C. 552(a)) (‘‘Privacy Act’’). In this
notice, NARA publishes NARA 43, the
Internal Collaboration Network, which
contains files with information on
National Archives employees,
volunteers, and contractors.
DATES: This new system of records,
NARA 43, will become effective July 2,
2012 without further notice unless
comments are received that result in
further revision. NARA will publish a
new notice if the effective date is
delayed to review comments or if
changes are made based on comments
received. To be assured of
consideration, comments should be
received on or before the date above.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments,
identified by SORN number NARA 43,
by one of the following methods:
• Federal e-Rulemaking Portal:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Internal Collaboration Network is a webbased platform that allows users to
better collaborate on work projects
across geographic locations and offices
and allow the agency to better preserve
NARA’s institutional knowledge. The
platform allows for user-generated
content in the form of documents, polls,
ideas, blog posts, user profiles, project
management and commenting features.
The notice for this system of records
states the name and the location of the
record system, the authority for and
manner of its operation, the categories
of individuals that it covers, the types
of records that it contains, the sources
of information in the records, and the
proposed ‘‘routine uses’’ of the system
of records. The notice also includes the
business address of the NARA official
who will inform interested persons of
the procedures whereby they may gain
access to, and correct, records
pertaining to themselves.
One of the purposes of the Privacy
Act, as stated in section 2(b)(4) of the
Act, is to provide certain safeguards for
an individual against an invasion of
personal privacy by requiring Federal
agencies to disseminate any record of
identifiable personal information in a
manner that assures that such action is
for a necessary and lawful purpose, that
the information is current and accurate
for its intended use, and that adequate
safeguards are provided to prevent
misuse of such information. NARA
intends to follow these principles in
transferring information to another
agency or individual as a ‘‘routine use’’
including assurance that the
information is relevant for the purposes
for which it is transferred.
