and costs) is minimal, collection
instruments are clearly understood, and
OSHA’s estimate of the information
collection burden is accurate. The
Occupational Safety and Health Act of
1970 (OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651 et seq.)
authorizes information collection by
employers as necessary or appropriate
for enforcement of the OSH Act or for
developing information regarding the
causes and prevention of occupational
injuries, illnesses, and accidents (29
U.S.C. 657). The OSH Act also requires
that OSHA obtain such information
with minimum burden upon employers,
especially those operating small
businesses, and to reduce to the
maximum extent feasible unnecessary
duplication of efforts in obtaining
information (29 U.S.C. 657).
In 2016, OSHA established the Safe +
Sound Campaign, a voluntary effort to
support the implementation of safety
and health programs in businesses
throughout the United States. Outside
stakeholders, including safety and
health professional organizations, trade
and industry associations, academic
institutions, and state and federal
government agencies, collaborate with
the agency on the Campaign. The
Campaign includes periodic activities
and events, ranging from regular email
updates to quarterly national webinars
to local meetings to an annual national
stand down (i.e., Safe + Sound Week),
designed to increase overall employer
and employee awareness and
understanding of safety and health
programs and promote employer
adoption of these programs. OSHA
believes widespread implementation of
such programs will substantially
improve overall workplace safety and
health conditions.

II. Special Issues for Comment
OSHA has a particular interest in
comments on the following issues:
• Whether the proposed information
collection requirements are necessary
for the proper performance of the

the information is useful;

the burden (time and costs) of the
information collection requirements,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
• The quality, utility, and clarity of
the information collected; and
• Ways to minimize the burden on
employers who must comply; for
example, by using automated or other
technological information collection
and transmission techniques.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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.
The Office of Workers’ Compensation
Programs administers the Federal Black
Lung Workers’ Compensation Program.
The Black Lung Benefits Act (30 U.S.C.
901(a)(b) and its implementing
regulations necessitate this information
collection. The regulations at 20 CFR
725.701, establish miner eligibility for
medical services and supplies for the
length of time required by the miner’s
pneumoconiosis and related disability.
20 CFR 725.706 requires prior approval
before ordering an apparatus where the
purchase price exceeds $300. 20 CFR
727.707 provides for the ongoing
supervision of the miner’s medical care,
including the necessity, character and
sufficiency of care to be furnished; gives
the authority to request medical reports;
and indicates the right to refuse
payment of failing to submit any report
required. Because of the above
legislation and regulations, it was
necessary to devise a form to collect the
required information. The form is the
CM–893, Certification of Medical
Necessity is completed by the coal
miner’s doctor and is used by the
Division of Coal Mine Workers’
Compensation to determine if the miner
meets impairment standards to qualify
for durable medical equipment and
home nursing. This information
collection is currently approved, for use
through April 30, 2021. The Black Lung
Benefits Act (30 U.S.C. 901(a)(b) and
implementing regulation, 20 CFR

VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 253001

725.406, authorizes this information
collection.
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. In order to help ensure appropriate
consideration, comments should
mention 1240–0024.
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
business data, or other sensitive
statements/information in any
comments.
The DOL 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.
