Pneumoconiosis (CM–988), Report of
Arterial Blood Gas Study (CM–1159)
and Report of Ventilatory Study (CM–

I. Background: The Black Lung
Benefits Act of 1977, as amended, 30
U.S.C. 901 et seq., provides for the
payment of benefits to coal miners who
are totally disabled by black lung
disease arising out of coal mine
employment, and their dependents and
survivors. Once a miner has been
identified as having performed non-coal
mine work subsequent to coal mine
employment, the miner or the miner’s
survivor is asked to complete a CM–913
to compare coal mine work to non-coal
mine work. This employment
information along with medical
information is used to establish whether
the miner is totally disabled due to
black lung disease caused by coal mine
employment. This information
collection is currently approved for use
through May 31, 2017.
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
