Existing Collection; Comment Request
ACTION:
Notice.
Currently, the Office of
Workers’ Compensation Programs is
soliciting comments concerning the
proposed collection: Certification of
Medical Necessity (CM–893). A copy of
the proposed information collection
request can be obtained by contacting
the office listed below in the addresses
section of this Notice. This program
helps to ensure that requested data can
be provided in the desired format,
reporting burden (time and financial
resources) is minimized, collection
instruments are clearly understood, and
the impact of collection requirements on
respondents can be properly assessed.
DATES: Written comments must be
received by December 18, 2017.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments

comments (mail/delivery, fax, or Email).
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: The Office of Workers’
Compensation Programs administers the
Federal Black Lung Workers’
Compensation Program. The Black Lung
Benefits Act (30 U.S.C. 901, et seq.) and
its implementing regulations necessitate
this information collection. The
regulations at 20 CFR 725.701 et seq.,
establish miner eligibility for medical
services and supplies for the length of
time required by the miner’s
pneumoconiosis and related disability.
20 CFR 725.706 requires prior approval
before ordering an apparatus where the
purchase price exceeds $300.00. 20 CFR
725.707 provides for the ongoing
supervision of the miner’s medical care,
including the necessity, character and
sufficiency of care to be furnished; gives
the authority to request medical reports;
and indicates the right to refuse
payment for failing to submit any report
required. Because of the above
legislation and regulations, it was
necessary to devise a form to collect the
required information. The form is the
CM–893, Certificate of Medical
Necessity (CMN). The CM–893,
Certificate of Medical Necessity is
completed by the coal miner’s doctor
and is used by the Division of Coal Mine
Workers’ Compensation to determine if
the miner meets impairment standards
to qualify for durable medical
equipment and home nursing. This
information collection is currently
approved for use through February 28,
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 for the
extension of this currently-approved
information collection in order to carry
out its responsibility to determine the
eligibility for reimbursement of medical
benefits to Black Lung recipients.
Agency: Office of Workers’
Compensation Programs.
Type of Review: Revision.
Title: Certificate of Medical Necessity.
OMB Number: 1240–0024.

persons undergoing such vocational
rehabilitation receive maintenance
allowances as additional compensation.

information necessary to decide if
maintenance allowances should
continue to be paid. Form OWCP–44 is
submitted to OWCP by contractors hired
