SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background: The Department of
Labor is requesting an approval of a new
information collection. This information
collection is essential to the mission of
OWCP’s Division of Coal Mine Workers’
Compensation, which administers the
Black Lung Benefits Act (BLBA), 30
U.S.C. 901 et seq. The statute grants the
Department authority to authorize and
regulate coal mine operators who wish
to self-insure their BLBA liabilities. 30
U.S.C. 933. This information collection
would provide OWCP with sufficient
information to determine whether a coal
mine operator should be (or continue to
be) authorized to self-insure. The
information would also allow OWCP to
determine the security amount a coal
mine operator must deposit to guarantee
that it will be able to meet its BLBA
liabilities.
II. Review Focus: The Department is
particularly interested in comments that
will help it to:
* 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
seeks the approval of this new
information collection to carry out its
responsibility to administer the BLBA.
Agency: Office of Workers’
Compensation Programs.
Type of Review: New Collection
(Request for New OMB Control
Number).
