    [sbull] 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

technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses.

    Agency: Employment Standards Administration (ESA).
    Title: Request to be Selected as Payee.
    OMB Number: 1215-0166.
    Affected Public: Business or other-for-profit; individuals or 
households; and not-for-profit institutions.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Number of Respondents: 2,000.
    Number of Annual Responses: 2,000.
    Estimated Time Per Response: 20 minutes.
    Total Burden Hours: 667.
    Total Annualzied Capital/Startup Costs: $0.

    Description: Benefits are payable by the Department of Labor 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). If a beneficiary is incapable of 
handling his affairs, the person or institution responsible for his 
care is required to apply to receive the benefits payment on the 
beneficiary's behalf. The CM-910 is used to obtain information about 
prospective representative payees to determine whether they are 
qualified to handle monetary benefits on behalf of the beneficiary. If 
this information were not collected, the Department would be unable to 
evaluate the applicant's ability to be a representative payee.

Departmental Clearance Officer.
