SUMMARY:
18:54 Dec 27, 2016
This ICR
seeks to maintain PRA authorization for
the Survivor’s Form for Benefits under
the Black Lung Benefits Act, Form CM–
912, information collection. A survivor
of a deceased miner files Form CM–912
to apply for BLBA benefits. The OWCP,
Division of Coal Mine Workers’
Compensation uses the information in
determining the survivor’s entitlement
to BLBA benefits. BLBA sections 411(a)
and 422(a) authorize this information
collection. See 30 U.S.C. 921(a), 832(a).
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 1240–0027.
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
December 31, 2016. The DOL seeks to
extend PRA authorization for this
information collection for three (3) more
years, without any change to existing
requirements. The DOL also 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 notice
published in the Federal Register on
July 27, 2016 (81 FR 49270).
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 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–
0027. The OMB is particularly
interested in comments that:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
