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

and/or continuing collections of
information in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

understood, and the impact of collection
requirements on respondents can be
properly assessed. Currently, the Office
of Workers’ Compensation Programs is

proposed information collection request

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 October 31,
2015.
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 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.

Compensation Programs.
