Download as PDF 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.

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.

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).

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

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 (82 FR 47769).
    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 1210-0150. 
The OMB is particularly interested in comments that:
     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 submission of responses.
