Representative Payee Report (Form CM–
623) and Representative Payee Report
Short Form (Form CM–623S) are used to
ensure that benefits paid to a
representative payee are used for the
beneficiary’s well-being. The
Physician’s/Medical Officer’s Statement
(Form CM–787) is used to determine the
beneficiary’s capability to manage
monthly black lung benefits. While not
expected to affect respondent burden,
this ICR has been classified as a revision
because of minor clarifications that
should help claimants better understand
what information to provide on the
forms. The Black Lung Benefits Act
authorizes this information collection.
See 30 U.S.C. 921, 922.
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 1240–0020. The current
approval is scheduled to expire on
October 31, 2014; however, the DOL
notes that existing information
collection requirements submitted to the
OMB receive a month-to-month
extension while they undergo review.
New requirements would only take
effect upon OMB approval. For
additional substantive information
about this ICR, see the related notice
published in the Federal Register on
May 21, 2014 (79 FR 29219).
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 thirty (30) days of
publication of this notice in the Federal
Register. In order to help ensure

appropriate consideration, comments
should mention OMB Control Number
1240–0020. 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.
