82074 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 249 / Wednesday, December 29, 2010 / Notices 

Proposed Action 

The BOP is facing increased bedspace 

shortages throughout the federal prison 

system. Over the past decade, a 

significant influx of inmates has entered 

the federal prison system with a large 

portion of this influx originating from 

the north central region of the United 

States. In response, the BOP has 

committed significant resources to 

identifying and developing sites for new 

federal correctional facilities within this 

region including development of 

facilities in Florence, Colorado; Terre 

Haute, Indiana; Greenville, Illinois; and 

Waseca, Minnesota. Even with the 

development of new and expanded 

facilities, projections show the federal 

inmate population continuing to 

increase, placing additional demands 

for bedspace within the BOP’s North 

Central Region. 

In response, the BOP has undertaken 

preliminary investigations in an effort to 

identify prospective sites capable of 

accommodating federal correctional 

facilities and communities willing to 

host such facilities. Through this 

process, the BOP has identified 

potential locations for development of 

new federal correctional facilities and 

several sites are under active 

consideration. These potential sites 

were subjected to initial studies by the 

BOP and those considered suitable for 

correctional facility development will 

be evaluated further by the BOP in a 

DEIS that will analyze the potential 

impacts of facility construction and 

operation. 

The Process 

The process of evaluating the 

potential environmental impacts 

associated with federal correctional 

facility development and operation 

involves the analysis of many factors 

and features including, but not limited 

to: Topography, geology, soils, 

hydrology, biological resources, cultural 

resources, hazardous materials, visual 

and aesthetics features, fiscal 

considerations, population/ 

employment/housing characteristics, 

community services and facilities, land 

uses, utility services, transportation 

systems, meteorological conditions, air 

quality, and noise. 

Alternatives 

In developing the DEIS, the No Action 

alternative, other actions considered 

and eliminated, and alternative 

development areas for the proposed 

Federal Correctional Institution and 

Federal Prison Camp will be examined. 

The areas examined will consist of BOPowned property contiguous to the 

existing Leavenworth Institution and 

will be further defined in the EIS 

process. 

Scoping Process 

During the preparation of the DEIS, 

there will be opportunities for public 

involvement in order to determine the 

issues to be examined. A Public Scoping 

Meeting will be held at 7 p.m., January 

20, 2011, at the Riverfront Community 

Center (123 S. Esplanade Street, 

Leavenworth, Kansas). The meeting 

location, date, and time will be wellpublicized and have been arranged to 

allow for the public as well as interested 

agencies and organizations to attend and 

formally express their views on the 

scope and significant issues to be 

studied as part of the DEIS process. The 

Scoping Meeting is being held to 

provide for timely public comments and 

understanding of federal plans and 

programs with possible environmental 

consequences as required by the 

National Environmental Policy Act of 

1969, as amended, and the National 

Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as 

amended. 

Availability of DEIS 

Public notice will be given concerning 

the availability of the DEIS for public 

review and comment.

BILLING CODE P 

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR 

Mine Safety and Health Administration 

Fee Adjustment for Testing, 

Evaluation, and Approval of Mining 

Products 

AGENCY: Mine Safety and Health 

Administration (MSHA), Labor. 

ACTION: Notice of fee adjustment. 

SUMMARY: This notice describes MSHA’s 

revised fee schedule for testing, 

evaluating, and approving mining 

products as provided by 30 CFR part 5. 

MSHA charges applicants a fee to cover 

its direct and indirect costs associated 

with testing, evaluating, and approval of 

equipment and materials manufactured 

for use in the mining industry. The new 

fee schedule, effective January 1, 2011, 

is based on MSHA’s direct and indirect 

costs for providing services during fiscal 

year (FY) 2010. 

DATES: This fee schedule is effective 

January 1, 2011. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John 

P. Faini, Chief, Approval and 

Certification Center, 304–547–2029 or 

304–547–0400. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Under 30 CFR 5.50, each fee schedule 

shall remain in effect for at least one 

year and be subject to revision at least 

once every three years. MSHA’s existing 

fee schedule, revised December 24, 2008 

(73 FR 79195) became effective January 

1, 2009. 

Under 30 CFR 5.30(a), Part 15 fees for 

services provided to MSHA by other 

organizations may be set by those 

organizations. In addition, under 30 

CFR 5.40, when the nature of the 

product requires MSHA to test and 

evaluate the product at a location other 

than on MSHA premises, MSHA is 

allowed to charge actual travel expenses 

in addition to the fees charged for 

evaluation and testing. 

II. Fee Computation 

MSHA computed the 2011 fees using 

FY 2010 costs for baseline data. MSHA 

calculated a weighted-average based on 

the direct and indirect costs to 

applicants for testing, evaluation, and 

approval services provided in FY 2010. 

From this average, MSHA computed a 

single hourly rate, which applies 

uniformly to all applications. 

As a result of this process, MSHA has 

determined that as of January 1, 2011, 

the fee will be $97 per hour for services 

provided. 

III. Applicable Fee 

• Applications postmarked before 

January 1, 2011: MSHA will process 

these applications under the 2009 

hourly rate of $90. 

• Applications postmarked on or after 

January 1, 2011: MSHA will process 

these applications under the 2011 

hourly rate of $97. This information is 

available on MSHA’s Web site at 

http://www.msha.gov.

Division of Federal Employees’ 

Compensation; Proposed Extension of 

the Approval of Information Collection

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as

collection instruments are clearly 

understood, and the impact of collection 

requirements on respondents can be 

properly assessed. Currently, the Office 

of Workers’ Compensation Programs is 

soliciting comments concerning the 

proposed collection: Claim for 

Continuance of Compensation (CA–12). 

A copy of the proposed information 

collection request can be obtained by 

contacting the office listed below in the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background: The Office of Workers’ 

Compensation Programs administers the 

Federal Employees’ Compensation Act, 

5 U.S.C. 8133. Under the Act, eligible 

dependents of deceased employees 

receive compensation benefits on 

account of the employee’s death. OWCP 

has to monitor death benefits for current 

marital status, potential for dual 

benefits, and other criteria for qualifying 

as a dependent under the law. The CA– 

12 is sent annually to beneficiaries in 

death cases to ensure that their status 

has not changed and that they remain 

entitled to benefits. The information 

collected is used by OWCP claims 

examiners to ensure that death benefits 

being paid are correct, and that 

payments are not made to ineligible 

survivors. This information collection is 

currently approved for use through May 

31, 2011. 

II. Review Focus: The Department of 

Labor 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 

of Labor seeks extension of approval to 

collect this information collection in 

order to ensure that death benefits being 

paid are correct. 

Type of Review: Extension.

Compensation Programs.
