SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Black Lung Benefits Act (the Act),
30 U.S.C. 901–944, requires coal mine
operators to be insured (either by
qualifying as a self-insurer or obtaining
commercial insurance) for liabilities
arising from the Act; failure to do so
may result in civil money penalties. 30
U.S.C. 933. Accordingly, 20 CFR Part V,
Subpart C, 726.208–.213 requires
insurance carriers to report to the
Division of Coal Mine Workers’
Compensation (DCMWC) each policy
and endorsement issued, cancelled, or
renewed with respect to operators in
such a manner and on such form as
DCMWC may require. These regulations
also require carriers to file a separate
report for each operator it insures.
Carriers use Form CM–921, Notice of
Issuance of Insurance Policy, to report
issuance of insurance policies to
operators. This information collection is
currently approved for use through
November 30, 2019. 30 U.S.C. 901 and
20 CFR 725.535 authorizes this
information collection.
II. Desired Focus of Comments
OWCP/DCMWC is soliciting
comments concerning the proposed
information collection related to the
Notice of Issuance of Policy. OWCP/
DCMWC 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 OWCP/
DCMWC’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used in
the estimate;
• Suggest methods to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and
• Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title of Collection: Survey of Science
and Engineering Research Facilities.
OMB Approval Number: 3145–0101.
Summary of Collection: The National
Science Foundation Survey of Science
and Engineering Research Facilities is a
Congressionally mandated (Pub. L. 99–
159; NSF Act of 1950, as amended;
America COMPETES Reauthorization
Act of 2010), biennial survey that has
been conducted since 1986. As required
by law, the survey collects data on the
amount, condition, and costs of the
physical facilities used to conduct
science and engineering research.
Congress expected this survey to
provide the data necessary to describe
the status and needs of science and
engineering research facilities.
Use of the Information: Analysis of
the Facilities Survey data will provide
updated information on the status of
scientific and engineering research
facilities and capabilities. Statistics on
the square footage of R&D space
available, the condition of R&D space,
and the costs for new construction,
repairs, and renovation of R&D space at
higher education institutions by S&E
field are produced from the survey. The
sources of funding for new construction
and repair and renovation projects are
also published. The survey information
can be used by Federal policy makers,
planners, and budget analysts in making
policy decisions, as well as by
institutional academic officials, the
scientific/engineering establishment,
and state agencies and legislatures that
fund universities.
Data are published in NSF’s annual
publication series Survey of Science and
Engineering Research Facilities,
available on the web at http://nsf.gov/
statistics/srvyfacilities/.
Expected respondents: The Facilities
Survey, is a census of institutions that
performed at least $1 million in
