SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

I. Background
Congress enacted the LaborManagement Reporting and Disclosure
Act of 1959, as amended (LMRDA), to
provide for the disclosure of
information on the financial
transactions and administrative
practices of labor organizations. The
statute also provides, under certain
circumstances, for reporting by labor
organization officers and employees,
employers, labor relations consultants,
and surety companies. Section 208 of
the LMRDA authorizes the Secretary to
issue rules and regulations prescribing
the form of the required reports. The
reporting provisions were devised to
implement a basic tenet of the LMRDA:
the guarantee of democratic procedures
and safeguards within labor
organizations that are designed to
protect the basic rights of union
members. Section 205 of the LMRDA
provides that the reports are public
information.
II. Review Focus
The Department 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 seeks extension of
the current approval to collect this

Jkt 229001

information. An extension is necessary
because the LMRDA explicitly requires
the reporting and establishes the
frequency of the required filings. The
information collected by OLMS is used
by union members to help self-govern
their unions, by workers making
decisions regarding their collective
bargaining rights, by the general public,
and as research material for both outside
researchers and within the Department.
The information is also used to assist
the Department and other government
agencies in detecting improper practices
on the part of labor organizations, their
officers and/or representatives, and is
used by Congress in oversight and
legislative functions.
The total burden for the Labor
Organization and Auxiliary Reports
information collection is summarized as
follows:
Type of Review: Extension.
Agency: DOL–OLMS.
Title of Collection: Labor Organization
and Auxiliary Reports.
OMB Control Number: 1245–0003.
Affected Public: Private Sector—
businesses or other for-profits, farms,
not-for-profit institutions, and
individuals or households.
Total Estimated Number of
Responses: 31,499.
Total Estimated Annual Burden
Hours: 4,582,111.
Total Estimated Annual Other Costs
Burden: $0.
Comments submitted in response to
this notice will be summarized and/or
included in the request for the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)
approval of the information collection
request; they will also become a matter
of public record. The Department notes
that it has a pending rulemaking
concerning two of the reports included
in the Labor Organization and Auxiliary
Reports information collection: the
Form LM–10 Employer Report and the
Form LM–20 Agreement and Activities
Report filed by labor relations
consultants. See 76 FR 37292. The
Department received comments on
those estimates during the rulemaking,
and it will respond to such comments
in any final rule issued, as well as in
any separate request for amendment to
the information collection submitted to
OMB in the context of that rulemaking.
Dated: April 2, 2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background
The Energy Employees Occupational
Illness Compensation Program Act of
2000, as amended (42 U.S.C. 7384 et
seq.), was originally enacted on October
30, 2000, and the primary responsibility
for administering EEOICPA was
assigned to the Department of Labor
(DOL) by Executive Order 13179 (65 FR
77487). In section 2(c)(vii) of that
Executive Order, DOE was directed to
publish a list in the Federal Register of
Atomic Weapons Employer (AWE)
facilities, DOE facilities, and facilities
owned and operated by a Beryllium
Vendor (as those terms are defined in
sections 73841(5), 73841(12) and
73841(6) of EEOICPA, respectively).
Pursuant to this direction, DOE
published a list of these three types of
facilities covered under EEOICPA on
January 17, 2001 (66 FR 4003), and
subsequently revised and republished
the entire list on June 11, 2001 (66 FR
31218), December 27, 2002 (67 FR
79068), July 21, 2003 (68 FR 43095) and
August 23, 2004 (69 FR 51825). In
subsequent notices published on
November 30, 2005 (70 FR 71815), June
28, 2007 (72 FR 35448), April 9, 2009
(74 FR 16191), August 3, 2010 (75 FR
45608), May 26, 2011 (76 FR 30695),
February 6, 2012 (77 FR 5781) and
February 11, 2013 (78 FR 9678), DOE
further revised the August 23, 2004 list
by formally removing a total of 16 AWE
