The Department of Labor (DOL) hereby announces the submission of

Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in
accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-13, 44
U.S.C. chapter 35). A copy of each ICR, with applicable supporting
documentation; including among other things a description of the likely
respondents, proposed frequency of response, and estimated total burden
may be obtained from the RegInfo.gov Web site at http://
www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain
or by contacting Darrin King on 202-
693-4129 (this is not a toll-free number)/e-mail: king.darrin@dol.gov.
Interested parties are encouraged to send comments to the Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs, Attn: Bridget Dooling, OMB Desk
Officer for the Employment Standards Administration (ESA), Office of
Management and Budget, Room 10235, Washington, DC 20503, Telephone:
202-395-7316/Fax: 202-395-6974 (these are not toll-free numbers), E-
mail: OIRA_submission@omb.eop.gov within 30 days from the date of this
publication in the Federal Register. In order to ensure the appropriate
consideration, comments should reference the OMB Control Number (see
below).
The OMB 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 submission of responses.
Agency: Employment Standards Administration.
Type of Review: Extension without change of currently approved
collection.
Title: Certification of Funeral Expenses.
OMB Control Number: 1215-0027.
Form Number: LS-265.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 195.
Total Estimated Annual Burden Hours: 49.
Total Estimated Cost Burden: $86.
Affected Public: Private Sector: Business or other for-profits.
Description: The Form LS-265 is used to report funeral expenses
payable under section 9(a) of the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Act [
33 U.S.C. 909].
Agency: Employment Standards Administration.
Type of Review: Revision of currently approved collection.
Title: Comparability of Current Work to Coal Mine Employment.
OMB Control Number: 1215-0056.
Form Numbers: CM-913 (the Forms CM-918 and CM-1093 are being
discontinued).
Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,350.
Total Estimated Annual Burden Hours: 675.
Total Estimated Cost Burden: $594.
Affected Public: Individuals or households.
Description: Once a miner has been identified as having performed
non-coal mine work subsequent to coal mine employment, the miner or the
miner's survivor is asked to complete a Form CM-913. The Form is used
to compare the physical demands of the miner's coal mine work with last
or current non-coal mine work. This employment information, together
with medical information, is used to establish whether the miner is
totally disabled due to black lung disease caused by coal mine
employment, a criterion for entitlement of benefits. Information
collected on the Form CM-913 helps DOL to determine if the miner has or
had a reduced ability to perform his usual and customary coal mine
work. The Black Lung Benefits Act, as amended, 30 U.S.C. 901 et. seq.
and 20 CFR 718.204(b)(1) necessitate the collection of this
information.
Darrin A. King,
Acting Departmental Clearance Officer.
