Please note that comments submitted
after the comment period will not be
considered.
The
Department of Labor, as part of its
continuing effort to reduce paperwork
and respondent burden, conducts a
preclearance consultation program to
provide the general public and Federal
agencies with an opportunity to
comment on proposed and/or
continuing collections of information in
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA95).
I. Background: Coal mine operators
desiring to be self-insurers are required
by law (30 U.S.C. 933 BL) to produce
security by way of an indemnity bond,
security deposit, a letter of credit, or
501(c)(21) trust. Once a company’s
application to become self-insured is
reviewed by the Division of Coal Mine
Workers’ Compensation (DCMWC) and
it is determined the company is
potentially eligible, an amount of
security is determined to guarantee the
payment of benefits required by the Act.
The OWCP–1 form is executed by the
self-insurer who agrees to abide by the
Department’s rules and authorizes the
Secretary, in the event of default, to file
suit to secure payment from a bond
underwriter or in the case of a Federal
Reserve account, to sell the securities
for the same purpose. A company
cannot be authorized to self-insure until
this requirement is met. Regulations
establishing this requirement are at 20
CFR 726.110 for Black Lung. This
information collection is currently
approved for use through January 31,
2018.
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 the approval of the
extension of this currently approved
information collection in order to
determine if a coal mine company is
potentially eligible to become selfinsured. The information is reviewed to
insure that the correct amounts of
negotiable securities are deposited or
indemnity bond is purchased and that
in a case of default OWCP has the
authority to utilize the securities or
bond. If this Agreement and
Undertaking were not required, OWCP
would not be empowered to utilize the
company’s security deposit to meet its
financial responsibilities for the
payment of black lung benefits in case
of default.
Type of Review: Extension.
Agency: Office of Workers’
Compensation Programs.
Title: Agreement and Undertaking.
OMB Number: 1240–0039.
Agency Number: OWCP–1.
Affected Public: Businesses or other
for-profit.
Total Respondents: 17.
Total Responses: 17.
Time per Response: 15 minutes.
Estimated Total Burden Hours: 4.
Total Burden Cost (capital/startup):
$0.
Total Burden Cost (operating/
maintenance): $9.
Comments submitted in response to
this notice will be summarized and/or
included in the request for Office of
Management and Budget approval of the
information collection request; they will
also become a matter of public record.
