Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. 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. Currently, the Office

the office listed below in the addresses
section of this Notice.
DATES: Written comments must be
submitted to the office listed in the
ADDRESSES section below on or before
August 28, 2018.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments
by mail, delivery service, or by hand to
Ms. Yoon Ferguson, U.S. Department of
Labor, 200 Constitution Ave. NW, Room
S–3323, Washington, DC 20210; by fax
to (202) 354–9647; or by Email to
ferguson.yoon@dol.gov. Please use only

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background: The Office of Workers’
Compensation Programs (OWCP)
administers the Black Lung Benefits Act
(BLBA), 30 U.S.C. 901 et seq. Coal mine
operators, their representatives, or their
insurers who have been identified as
responsible for paying Black Lung
benefits to an eligible miner or an
eligible surviving dependent of the
miner are called Responsible Operators
(RO’s). RO’s that pay benefits are
required to report any change in the
benefit amount to the Department of
Labor (DOL). The CM–908, when

completed and sent to DOL, notifies
DOL of the change in the beneficiary’s
benefit amount and the reason for the
change. The BLBA and 20 CFR 725.621
necessitate this information collection.
This information collection is currently
approved for use through August 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 approval for the
extension of this currently approved
information collection to insure that the
correct benefits are paid by RO’s. If this
information were not gathered, there
would be no way to insure that black
lung beneficiaries who receive benefit
payments from RO’s are receiving the
correct amount of benefits.
