collection: The estimated public burden
associated with this collection is 2,417
hours. It is estimated that applicants
will take 15 minutes to complete a Form
USM–3A and 10 minutes to complete a
Form USM–3C. In order to calculate the
public burden for Form USM–3A,
USMS multiplied 15 by 6,000 and
divided by 60 (the number of minutes
in an hour), which equals 1,500 total
annual burden hours. In order to
calculate the public burden for Form
USM–3C, USMS multiplied 10 by 5,500
and divided by 60 (the number of
minutes in an hour), which equals 917
total annual burden hours. In sum there
are an estimated 2,417 total annual
public burden hours associated with
this collection.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background: The Office of Workers’
Compensation Programs (OWCP) is the
agency responsible for administration of
the Federal Employees’ Compensation
Act (FECA), 5 U.S.C. 8101 et seq., the
Black Lung Benefits Act (BLBA), 30
U.S.C. 901 et seq., and the Energy
Employees Occupational Illness
Compensation Program Act of 2000
(EEOICPA), 42 U.S.C. 7384 et seq. This
information collection is used by OWCP
examiners to ascertain the financial
condition of the beneficiary to
determine if the overpayment or any
part can be recovered; to identify the
possible concealment or improper
transfer of assets; and to identify and
consider present and potential income
and current assets for enforced
collection proceedings. The
questionnaire provides a means for the
beneficiary to explain why he/she is
without fault in an overpayment matter.
If this information were not collected
BLBA, EEOICPA and FECA would have
little basis to determine appropriate
collection proceedings. This
information collection is currently
approved for use through April 30,
2019.
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
VerDate Sep<11>2014

* 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 of the
extension of this currently approved
information collection in order to
determine whether or not the recovery
of any BLBA, EEOICPA or FECA
overpayments may be waived,
compromised, terminated, or collected
in full.
Type of Review: Extension.
Agency: Office of Workers’
Compensation Programs.
Title: Overpayment Recovery

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
DATES:
I. Background
Enacted in 1998 as part of the Digital
Millennium Copyright Act (‘‘DMCA’’),
section 512 of Title 17 provides a
system for copyright owners and
internet service providers to address
online infringement outside the context
of litigation. This system includes a
series of ‘‘safe harbors’’ through which
an eligible service provider can limit its
liability for copyright infringement by
complying with certain requirements,
generally consisting of implementing
measures to expeditiously address
online infringement.
At Congress’s request, the U.S.
Copyright Office is conducting a study
to assess the impact and effectiveness of
section 512. The Office published an
initial Notice of Inquiry on December
31, 2015, seeking written comments to
thirty questions covering eight
categories of topics.1 The Office
received over 92,000 written
submissions in response. Subsequently,
in May 2016, the Office held two-day
public roundtables in New York and
San Francisco. The Office published a
second Notice of Inquiry on November
8, 2016, seeking written comments to
sixteen questions covering four topics,
in addition to inviting the submission of
empirical research studies assessing the
operation of the safe harbor provisions
