                Workers' Compensation Programs (OWCP)-sponsored information collection
                request (ICR) to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review

                SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Description of Coal Mine Work and Other
                Employment (Form CM-913) is used to compare non-coal mine work to coal
                mine work. For additional substantive information about this ICR, see
                the related notice published in the Federal Register on May 9, 2023 (88
                FR 29952).
                 This information collection is subject to the PRA. A Federal agency
                generally
                [[Page 62821]]
                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 information
                collection requirements submitted to the OMB for existing ICRs receive
                a month-to-month extension while they undergo review.
                 Agency: DOL-OWCP.
