VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:37 Mar 31, 2015 This ICR seeks approval under the PRA for revisions to the Request to be Selected as Payee information collection. Benefits are payable by the DOL to miners who are totally disabled due to pneumoconiosis and to certain survivors of a miner under the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977, as amended (30 U.S.C. 901 et seq.). If a beneficiary is incapable of handling his/ her affairs, the person or institution responsible for the beneficiary’s care is required to apply to receive the benefit payments on the beneficiary’s behalf. A representative payee applicant completes and submits Form CM–910 for evaluation to the district office that has jurisdiction over the beneficiary’s claim file. This information collection has been classified as a revision, because of minor clarifications to Form CM–910 to allow applicants better to understand what information they need to provide. In addition, an accommodation statement has been added to Form CM–910 to inform applicants with mental or physical limitations to contact the Division of Coal Mine Workers’ Compensation if further assistance is needed in the claims process. The Black Lung Benefits Act authorizes this information collection. See 30 U.S.C. 923, 936. 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 1240–0010. The current approval is scheduled to expire on May 31, 2015; 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 December 10, 2014 (79 FR 73340). 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 SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DEPARTMENT OF LABOR Jkt 235001 PO 00000 Frm 00122 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 17507 publication of this notice in the Federal Register.

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks to extend PRA authority for
the Vinyl Chloride (VC) Standard information collection requirements
codified in regulations 29 CFR 1910.1017. The VC Standard is an
occupational safety and health standard that protects workers from the
adverse health effects that may result from exposure to VC. The
Standard's information collection requirements are essential components
protecting workers from occupational exposure. An Occupational Safety
and Health Act of 1970 (OSH Act) covered employer and workers use the
information to implement the protections the Standard requires. The
information collections in the VC Standard include notifying workers of
VC exposures; written compliance and emergency programs; a respirator
program; a worker medical surveillance program; and the development,
maintenance, and disclosure of worker's exposure monitoring and medical
records. OSH Act sections 2(b)(9), 6, and 8(c) authorize this
information collection. See 29 U.S.C. 651(b)(9), 655, and 657.
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 1218-0010.
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 March 31, 2015. The DOL seeks to extend PRA
authorization for this information collection for three (3) more years,
without any change to existing requirements. The DOL notes 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
