-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor (DOL) is submitting the Office of 
Workers' Compensation Programs (OWCP) sponsored information collection 
request (ICR) revision titled, ``Request to be Selected as Payee,'' to 
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval for 
use in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). Public comments on the ICR are invited.

DATES: The OMB will consider all written comments that agency receives 
on or before May 1, 2015.

ADDRESSES: A copy of this ICR with applicable supporting documentation; 
including a description of the likely respondents, proposed frequency 
of response, and estimated total burden may be obtained free of charge 
from the RegInfo.gov Web site at http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAViewICR?ref_nbr=201412-1240-001 (this link will only become active

not toll-free numbers) or sending an email to [email protected].
    Submit comments about this request by mail or courier to the Office 
of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Attn: OMB Desk Officer for DOL-
OWCP, Office of Management and Budget, Room 10235, 725 17th Street NW., 
Washington, DC 20503; by Fax: 202-395-5806 (this is not a toll-free

4129, TTY 202-693-8064, (these are not toll-free numbers) or sending an

    Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3507(a)(1)(D).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks approval under the PRA for 
revisions to the Request to be Selected as Payee information 
collection. Benefits are payable by the DOL to miners who are totally 
disabled due to pneumoconiosis and to certain survivors of a miner 
under the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977, as amended (30 
U.S.C. 901 et seq.). If a beneficiary is incapable of handling his/her 
affairs, the person or institution responsible for the beneficiary's 
care is required to apply to receive the benefit payments on the 
beneficiary's behalf. A representative payee applicant completes and 
submits Form CM-910 for evaluation to the district office that has 
jurisdiction over the beneficiary's claim file. This information 
collection has been classified as a revision, because of minor 
clarifications to Form CM-910 to allow applicants better to understand 
what information they need to provide. In addition, an accommodation 
statement has been added to Form CM-910 to inform applicants with 
mental or physical limitations to contact the Division of Coal Mine 
Workers' Compensation if further assistance is needed in the claims 
process. The Black Lung Benefits Act authorizes this information 
collection. See 30 U.S.C. 923, 936.
    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 it is approved by the OMB under the PRA 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. The DOL obtains OMB approval for this information collection 
under Control Number 1240-0010. The current approval is scheduled to 
expire on May 31, 2015; however, the DOL notes that existing 
information collection requirements submitted to the OMB receive a 
month-to-month extension while they undergo review. New requirements 
would only take effect upon OMB approval. For additional substantive 
information about this ICR, see the related notice published in the 
Federal Register on December 10, 2014 (79 FR 73340).
    Interested parties are encouraged to send comments to the OMB, 
Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs at the address shown in 
the ADDRESSES section within thirty (30) days of publication of this 
notice in the Federal Register. In order to help ensure appropriate 
consideration, comments should mention OMB Control Number 1240-0010. 
The OMB 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.
    Agency: DOL-OWCP.
    Title of Collection: Request to be Selected as Payee.
