SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
American Time Use Survey (ATUS) is
the Nation’s first federally administered,
continuous survey on time use in the
United States. It measures, for example,
time spent with children, working,
sleeping, or doing leisure activities. In
the United States, several existing
Federal surveys collect income and
wage data for individuals and families,
and analysts often use such measures of
material prosperity as proxies for
quality of life. Time-use data
substantially augment these quality-of
life measures. The data also can be used
in conjunction with wage data to
evaluate the contribution of non-market
work to national economies. This
enables comparisons of production
between nations that have different
mixes of market and non-market
activities. For additional substantive
information about this ICR, see the
related notice published in the Federal
Register on July 1, 2021 (86 FR 35138).
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
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 OMB Control Number.
See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6.
DOL seeks PRA authorization for this
information collection for three (3)
years. OMB authorization for an ICR
cannot be for more than three (3) years
without renewal. The DOL notes that

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Departments of Labor, Health and
Human Services, and the Treasury share
interpretive jurisdiction of the Mental
Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act
(MHPAEA) and have split enforcement
jurisdictions. The Department of Labor
is responsible for enforcing MHPAEA
with respect to private employersponsored group health plans. The
Consolidated Appropriations Act,
enacted on December 27, 2020,
amended MHPAEA, in part, by
expressly requiring group health plans
to perform and document a comparative
analysis of the design and application of
any non-quantitative treatment
limitations (NQTLs) that apply to
medical/surgical and mental health and
substance use disorder benefits. For
additional substantive information
about this ICR, see the related notice
published in the Federal Register on
April 22, 2021 (86 FR 21349).

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Office of Workers’ Compensation
Programs
Proposed Extension of Existing
Collection; Comment Request
ACTION:

Notice.

The Department of Labor, as
part of its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden,
conducts a pre-clearance consultation
program to provide the general public
and Federal agencies with an
opportunity to comment on proposed
and/or continuing collections of
information in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA95). 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 of Workers’ Compensation
Programs is soliciting comments
concerning the proposed collection:
Authorization for Release of Medical
Information (CM–936). A copy of the
proposed information collection request
can be obtained by contacting 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
November 12, 2021.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments
by mail, delivery service, or by hand to
Ms. Anjanette Suggs, U.S. Department of
Labor, 200 Constitution Ave. NW, Room
S–3323, Washington, DC 20210; by fax
(202) 354–9660; or by Email to
[email protected]. Please use
only one method of transmission for
comments (mail/delivery, fax, or Email).
Please note that comments submitted

after the comment period will not be
considered.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Black Lung Benefits Act, as
amended, 30 U.S.C. 901 et seq., and 20
CFR 725.405 require that all relevant
medical evidence be considered before
a decision can be made regarding a
claimant’s eligibility for benefits. By
signing the CM–936 form, the claimant
authorizes physicians, hospitals,
medical facilities or organizations, and
the National Institute for Occupational
Safety and Health to release medical
information about the miner to the
Department of Labor’s Office of
Workers’ Compensation Programs. The
form contains information required by
medical institutions and private
physicians to enable them to release
pertinent medical information. This
information collection is currently
approved for use through February 28,
2022.
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 in order to obtain claimant
consent for the release of medical
information for consideration by the
Office of Workers’ Compensation
Programs in their claim for benefits.
Failure to gather this information would
inhibit the adjudication of black lung
claims because pertinent medical data
would not be available for consideration
during the processing of the claim.
