SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Regulations 30 CFR 75.315 make it
mandatory for a mine operator electing
to use belt air to ventilate a working
section or area where mechanized
equipment is being installed or removed
to maintain records used by coal mine
supervisors, miners, and Federal and
State mine inspectors to show required
examinations and tests were conducted.
These records give insight into
hazardous conditions that have been or
may be encountered. Inspection records
help in making decisions that ultimately
affect the safety and health of miners
working in belt air mines. Federal Mine
Safety and Health Act of 1977 section
103(h) (30 U.S.C. 813(h)) authorizes the
MSHA to collect information necessary
to carry out its duty in protecting the
safety and health of miners.
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 that does not
display a valid Control Number. See 5
CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL
obtains OMB approval for this
information collection under Control
Number 1219–0138.
OMB authorization for an ICR cannot
be for more than three (3) years without
renewal, and the current approval for
this collection is scheduled to expire on
October 31, 2013. The DOL seeks to
extend PRA authorization for this
information collection for three (3) more
years, without any change to existing
requirements. It should also be noted
that existing information collection
requirements submitted to the OMB
receive a month-to-month extension
while they undergo review. For
additional substantive information
about this ICR, see the related notice
published in the Federal Register on
June 14, 2013 (78 FR 35975).

occupational or otherwise covered
illnesses incurred in the performance of
duty for the Department of Energy

contain information collection
requirements covered by this ICR. The
OWCP also uses this ICR to obtain PRA
authorization to implement the
information collection requirement
found at 42 U.S.C. 7385s–11.
The OWCP uses forms covered by this
ICR to determine a claimant’s eligibility
for EEOICPA compensation and
responses are required to obtain or
retain benefits. The information
collections in this ICR collect
demographic, factual, and medical
information needed to determine
entitlement to EEOICPA benefits. Before
the OWCP can pay benefits, the case file
must contain medical and employment
evidence showing the claimant’s
eligibility. The various collections
covered by this ICR and the purpose of
each are listed below:
Form EE–1—A living current or
former employee completes the form to
file a claim under parts B and/or E. The
form requests information about the
illness or illnesses being claimed and
information about tort suits, settlements,
or awards in litigation; State workers’
compensation benefits; and fraud
convictions that affect entitlement. This
form is also available in Spanish. (20
CFR 30.100, –.103, –.505, and –.620.)
Form EE–2—The survivor of a
deceased employee uses the form to file
a claim under parts B and/or E. The
form requests information regarding
both the survivor and the deceased
employee. The form also requests
information about illnesses, tort suits,
settlements, or awards in litigation;
State workers’ compensation benefits;
and fraud convictions that affect
entitlement. This form is also available
in Spanish. (20 CFR 30.101, –.103,
–.505, and –.620.)
Form EE–3—The form gathers
information about the employee’s work
history. This form is also available in
Spanish. (20 CFR 30.103, –.111, –.113,
–.114, –.206, –.212, –.214, –.221, and

Form EE–4—The employee or
survivor uses the form to support the
claimed employment history by
affidavit. This form is also available in
Spanish. (20 CFR 30.103, –.111, –.113,
–.114, –.206, –.212, –.214, –.221, and
