Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 82 / Friday, April 27, 2018 / Notices
This ICR
seeks to extend PRA authority for the
Labor Market Information (LMI)
Cooperative Agreement information
collection. The LMI Cooperative
Agreement includes all information
needed by a State Workforce Agency to
apply for funds to assist it in operating
one or more of the four BLS LMI
programs and to report on the status of
the obligation and expenditure of any
such funds as well as to close out the
Cooperative Agreement. BLS
Authorizing Statute sections 1 and 2,
Wagner-Peyser Act as Amended section
14, and Federal Grant and Cooperative
Agreement Act of 1977 section 6
authorize this information collection.
See 29 U.S.C. 1, 2, 49L–1; 31 U.S.C.
6305.
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 1220–0079.
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
May 31, 2018. The DOL seeks to extend
PRA authorization for this information
collection for three (3) more years,
without any change to existing
requirements. The DOL 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
November 17, 2017 (82 FR 54418).
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 thirty (30) days of
publication of this notice in the Federal
Register. In order to help ensure
appropriate consideration, comments
should mention OMB Control Number
1220–0079. The OMB is particularly
interested in comments that:

• Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the

including the validity 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 submission of
responses.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR
seeks approval under the PRA for
revisions to the Coverage of Certain
Preventive Services under the
Affordable Care Act information
collection requirements applicable to
the private sector. A covered health
insurance issuer or third-party
administrator providing or arranging
payments for contraceptive services for
participants and beneficiaries in plans
(or student enrollees and covered
dependents in student health insurance
coverage) of eligible organizations must
generally provide a written notice to
such plan participants and beneficiaries
(or such student enrollees and covered
dependents) informing them of the
availability of such payments. To satisfy
the notice requirement, issuers and
third-party administrators may use the
model language set forth in final
regulations issued on October 13, 2017,
or substantially similar language. See 78
FR 39893. To avoid contracting,

arranging, paying, or referring for
contraceptive coverage, an organization
seeking to be treated as an eligible
organization under the final regulations
may self-certify—by using EBSA Form
700—that the organization meets the
definition of an eligible organization.
This ICR has been classified as a
revision for two reasons. First, the
information collection requirements
related to for-profit firms and not-for
profit institutions were previously
approved under separate OMB Control
Numbers (1210–0150 and 1210–0152).
The Department is now combining the
collections, as the requirements are
identical for all private sector
respondents. In addition, the clearance
is being revised to align the approval
with injunctive activity by suspending
the information collection requirements
related to the notice to enrollees about
the availability of separate payments for
contraceptive services and the notice of
revocation of an accommodation. See
California v. Health and Human
Services, et al., 281 F. Supp. 3d 806, 813
(N.D. Cal. 2017); Pennsylvania v.
Trump, 281 F. Supp. 3d 553, 561 (E.D.
Pa. 2017). Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974 section 508
authorizes this information collection.
See 29 U.S.C. 1059.
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 1210–0150. The current
approval is scheduled to expire on April
30, 2018; however, the DOL notes that
existing information collection
requirements submitted to the OMB
receive a month-to-month extension
while they undergo review. New
requirements would only take effect
upon OMB approval. For additional
substantive information about this ICR,
see the related notice published in the
Federal Register on October 13, 2017
