Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 48 / Tuesday, March 12, 2013 / Notices
The Department interprets the
regulation to require the employer to
assume responsibility for the reasonable
costs associated with the worker’s
travel, including transportation, food,
and, in those instances where it is
necessary, lodging. The minimum and
maximum daily travel meal
reimbursement amounts are established
above. If transportation and lodging are
not provided by the employer, the
amount an employer must pay for
transportation and, where required,
lodging, must be no less than (and is not
required to be more than) the most
economical and reasonable costs. The
employer is responsible for those costs
necessary for the worker to travel to the
worksite if the worker completes 50
percent of the work contract period, but
is not responsible for unauthorized
detours, and if the worker completes the
contract, return transportation and
subsistence costs, including lodging
costs where necessary. This policy
applies equally to instances where the
worker is traveling within the U.S. to
the employer’s worksite.
For further information on when the
employer is responsible for lodging
costs, please see the Department’s H–2A
Frequently Asked Questions on Travel
and Daily Subsistence, which may
found on the OFLC Web site: https://
www.foreignlaborcert.doleta.gov/.
Signed in Washington, DC on this 27th day
of February, 2013.

Assistant Secretary, Employment and
Training Administration.

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: Claim for
Compensation by Dependents
Information Reports (CA–5, CA–5b, CA–
1031, CA–1074, Letter of Compensation
Due at Death and Letter of Student/
Dependency). 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
May 13, 2013.
ADDRESSES: Ms. Yoon Ferguson, U.S.
Department of Labor, 200 Constitution
Ave. NW., Room S–3233, Washington,
DC 20210, telephone (202) 693–0701,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The forms included in this package
are forms used by Federal employees
and their dependents to claim benefits,
to prove continued eligibility for
benefits, to show entitlement to
remaining compensation payments of a
deceased employee and to show
dependency under the Federal
Employees’ Compensation Act. There
are six forms in this information
collection request. The information
collected by Forms CA–5, is used by
dependents for claiming compensation
for the work related death of a Federal
Employee and CA–5b is used by other
survivors. Form CA–1031 is used in
disability cases and provides
information to determine whether a
claimant is actually supporting a
dependent and is entitled to additional
compensation. Form CA–1074 is a
follow up to CA–5b to request
clarification of any information that is
unclear and incomplete in the CA–5b.
The letter of ‘‘Compensation Due at
Death’’ is used to request information
necessary to distribute compensation
due when an employee dies who was
receiving or who was entitled to
compensation at the time of death for
either disability benefits or a scheduled
award. The letter of ‘‘Student/
PO 00000
Frm 00063
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Dependency’’ is used to obtain
information regarding the student status
of a dependent. When a child reaches 18
years of age, they are no longer
considered an eligible dependent unless
they are a full time student or incapable
of self-support. This information
collection is currently approved for use
through July 31, 2013.
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
extension of approval to collect this
information in order to carry out its
responsibility to meet the statutory
requirements of the Federal Employees’
Compensation Act. The information
contained in these forms is used by the
Division of Federal Employees’
Compensation to determine entitlement
to benefits under the Act, to verify
dependent status, and to initiate,
continue, adjust, or terminate benefits
based on eligibility criteria.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Section 423 of the Black Lung
Benefits Act, as amended, requires that
a responsible coal mine operator be
insured and outlines the items each
contract of insurance must contain. It
also enumerates the civil penalties to
which a responsible coal mine operator
is subject, should these procedures not
be followed. Further, 20 CFR par V,
subpart C, 726.208–213 requires that
each insurance carrier shall report to the
Division of Coal Mine Workers’
Compensation (DCMWC) each policy
and endorsement issued, cancelled, or
renewed with respect to responsible
operators. It states that this report will
be made in such manner and on such
a form as DCMWC may require. The
CM–921 is the form completed by the
insurance carrier and forwarded to
DCMWC for review. It is also required
that if a policy is issued or renewed for
more than one operator, a separate
report for each operator shall be
submitted. This information collection
is currently approved for use through
May 31, 2013.
