SUMMARY: The National Institute of 

Justice (NIJ) and the International 

Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) 

are hosting two workshops in 

conjunction with the 120th Annual 

IACP Conference and Exposition in 

Philadelphia, PA. The focus of the 

workshops is the development of NIJ 

performance standards for Interview 

Room Recording Systems and License 

Plate Readers used by criminal justice 

agencies. Sessions are intended to 

inform manufacturers, test laboratories, 

certification bodies, and other interested 

parties of these standards development 

efforts. These workshops are being held 

specifically to discuss recent progress 

made toward the standards and to 

receive input, comments, and 

recommendations. 

Space is limited at each workshop, 

and as a result, only 50 participants will 

be allowed to register for each session. 

We request that each organization limit 

their representatives to no more than 

two per organization. Exceptions to this 

limit may occur, should space allow. 

Participants planning to attend are 

responsible for their own travel 

arrangements. 

DATES: Both workshops will be held on 

Saturday, October 19, 2013. The License 

Plate Reader standard session will take 

place from 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. The 

Interview Room Recording System 

standard session will take place from 

3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. 

ADDRESSES: Pennsylvania Convention 

Center, 1101 Arch Street, Philadelphia,

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Consolidated Omnibus Budget 

Reconciliation Act of 1985 (COBRA) 

provides that, under certain 

circumstances, a group health plan 

participant or beneficiary who meets the 

COBRA qualified beneficiaries 

definition may elect to continue group 

health coverage temporarily following a 

qualifying event that would otherwise 

result in loss of coverage. The COBRA 

provides that the Secretary of Labor has 

the authority under Employee 

Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 

(ERISA) section 608 to carry out the 

provisions of ERISA Title I Part 6. 

The DOL issued regulations to 

implement the ERISA section 606 notice 

requirements, because providing timely 

and adequate notifications regarding 

COBRA rights and responsibilities is 

critical to a qualified beneficiary’s 

ability to obtain health continuation 

coverage. In addition, the DOL believes, 

regulatory guidance was necessary to 

establish clearer standards for 

administering and processing COBRA 

notices. 

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 1210–0123. OMB 

authorization for an ICR cannot be for 

more than three (3) years without 

renewal, and the current approval is 

scheduled to expire on September 30, 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

59066 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 186 / Wednesday, September 25, 2013 / Notices 

2013. The DOL seeks to extend PRA 

authorization for this information 

collection for three (3) more years, 

without any change to existing 

requirements. It should be noted that 

existing information collection 

requirements submitted to the OMB 

receive a month-to-month extension 

while they undergo review. For 

additional substantive information 

about this ICR, see the related notice 

published in the Federal Register on 

May 22, 2013 (78 FR 30333). 

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 30 days of publication of 

this notice in the Federal Register. In 

order to help ensure appropriate 

consideration, comments should 

mention OMB Control Number 1210– 

0123. 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Section 101(c) of the Federal Mine 

Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine 

Act) allows the mine operator or 

representative of miners to file a 

petition to modify the application of any 

mandatory safety standard to a coal or 

other mine if the Secretary of Labor 

determines that: 

1. An alternative method of achieving 

the result of such standard exists which 

will at all times guarantee no less than 

the same measure of protection afforded 

the miners of such mine by such 

standard; or 

2. That the application of such 

standard to such mine will result in a 

diminution of safety to the miners in 

such mine. 

In addition, the regulations at 30 CFR 

44.10 and 44.11 establish the 

requirements and procedures for filing 

petitions for modification. 

II. Petitions for Modification 

Docket Number: M–2013–039–C. 

Petitioner: Rock N Roll Coal 

Company, Inc., P.O. Box 142, Justice, 

West Virginia 24851. 

Mines: Mine No. 3, MSHA I.D. No. 

46–08646 and Mine No. 7, MSHA I.D. 

No. 46–09093, located in McDowell 

County, West Virginia. 

Regulation Affected: 30 CFR 75.1101– 

1(b) (Deluge-type water spray systems). 

Modification Request: The petitioner 

requests a modification of the existing 

standard to eliminate the use of blowoff dust covers for the spray nozzles of 

a deluge-type water spray system. In 

support of the alternative method, the 

petitioner proposes to continue 

performing the weekly inspections and 

functional testing of the complete 

deluge-type water spray system. The 

petitioner states that: 

(1) The system consists of an average 

of thirty (30) sprays along each of 

approximately ten primary beltconveyor drives and an average of sixty 

(60) sprays along each eight secondary 

drives. 

(2) The company currently complies 

with the requirements of the existing 

standard by providing each nozzle with 

a blow-off dust cover. In view of the 

frequent inspections and functional 

testing of the system, the dust covers are 

not necessary because nozzles can be 

maintained in an unclogged condition 

through weekly use. 

(3) It is burdensome to recap the large 

number of covers weekly after each 

inspection and functional test. 

The petitioner asserts that the 

alternative method will at all times 

guarantee no less than the same measure 

of protection afforded the miners 

employed at the Rock and Roll Coal 

Company, as the standard. 

Docket Number: M–2013–040–C. 

Petitioner: Blackwood Mining, 540 

East Center Street, Ashland, 

Pennsylvania 17921.
