The DOL,
as part of continuing efforts to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden,
conducts a pre-clearance consultation
program to provide the general public
and Federal agencies an opportunity to
comment on proposed and/or
continuing collections of information
before submitting them to the OMB for
final approval. This program helps to
ensure 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 can be properly
assessed.
This ICR seeks approval under the
PRA for an extension of an existing
collection titled Request to be Selected
as Payee (CM–910). If a beneficiary is
incapable of handling his/her affairs, the
person or institution responsible for
their care is required to apply to receive
the benefit payments on the
beneficiary’s behalf. The CM 910 is the
form completed by representative payee
applicants. The payee applicant
completes the form and submits it for
evaluation to the district office that has
jurisdiction over the beneficiary’s claim
file. The Black Lung Benefits Act, 30
U.S.C. 901 and its implementing
regulations, 20 CFR 725.513(a),
725.533(e), authorizes this information
collection. See 30 U.S.C. 936(a).
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 the OMB
under the PRA approves it 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.
Interested parties are encouraged to
provide comments to the contact shown
in the ADDRESSES section. Written
comments will receive consideration,
and summarized and included in the
request for OMB approval of the final
ICR. To help ensure appropriate
consideration, comments should
mention 1240–0010.
Submitted comments will also be a
matter of public record for this ICR and
posted on the internet, without
redaction. The DOL encourages
commenters not to include personally
identifiable information, confidential

for the proper performance 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.

who have been identified as responsible
for paying benefits under the Black
Lung Benefits Act (BLBA), 30 U.S.C. 901
et seq., 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. This information
collection is required under the BLBA
and 20 CFR 725.621.
This information collection is subject
to the PRA. A Federal agency generally
