ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as 

part of its continuing effort to reduce 

paperwork and respondent burden 

conducts a pre-clearance consultation

and/or continuing collections of 

information in accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(PRA95) [44 U.S.C. 3506 (c)(2)(A)]. This 

program helps to ensure that requested 

data can be provided in the desired 

format, reporting burden (time and 

financial resources) is minimized, 

collection instruments are clearly 

understood, and the impact of collection 

requirements on respondents can be 

properly assessed. 

Currently, the Mine Safety and Health 

Administration (MSHA) is soliciting 

comments concerning the extension of 

the information collection related to the 

30 CFR sections 57.5047; Gamma 

Radiation Exposure Records. 

DATES: Submit comments on or before 

November 23, 2009. 

ADDRESSES: Send comments to U.S.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Under section 103(c) of the Federal 

Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977, the 

Mine Safety and Health Administration 

(MSHA) is required to ‘‘ * * * issue 

regulations required operators to 

maintain accurate records of employee 

exposures to potentially toxic materials 

or harmful physical agents which are 

required to be monitored or measured 

under any applicable mandatory health 

or safety standard promulgated under 

this Act.’’ 

Gamma radiation occurs anywhere 

that radioactive materials are present, 

and has been associated with lunch 

cancer and other debilitating 

occupational diseases. Gamma radiation 

hazards may be found near radiation 

sources at surface operations using Xray machines, weightometers, nuclear 

and diffraction units. 

II. Desired Focus of Comments 

MSHA 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 submissions 

of responses. 

A copy of the proposed information 

collection request can be obtained by 

contacting the employee listed in the 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT

section of this notice, or viewed on the 

Internet by accessing the MSHA home 

page (http://www.msha.gov) and then 

choosing Statutory and Regulatory 

Information and Federal Register 

Documents. 

III. Current Actions 

Annual gamma radiation surveys are 

required to be conducted—in all 

underground mines where radioactive 

ores are mined. Where the average 

gamma radiation measurements are in 

excess of 2.0 milliroentgens per hour in 

the working place, all persons affected 

are to be provided with gamma 

radiation dosimeters and records of 

cumulative individual gamma radiation 

exposures are to be kept. 

Type of Review: Extension. 

Agency: Mine Safety and Health 

Administration. 

Title: Gamma Radiation Exposure 

Records. 

OMB Number: 1219–0039. 

Recordkeeping: Records of cumulative 

occupational radiation exposures aid in 

the protection of workers, in the control 

of subsequent radiation exposure, and 

are used by MSHA in evaluation of the 

effectiveness of the protection program 

in demonstrating compliance with 

regulatory requirements. 

Frequency: Annually. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit. 

Respondents: 4. 

Total Burden Hours: 8 hours. 

Total Burden Cost (capital/startup): 

$0. 

Total Burden Cost (operating/ 

maintaining): $0. 

Comments submitted in response to 

this notice will be summarized and/or 

included in the request for Office of 

Management and Budget approval of the 

information collection request; they will 

also become a matter of public record. 

Dated at Arlington, Virginia, this 17th day

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Employment and 

Training Administration has provided 

guidance to State workforce agencies to 

assist them in qualifying for the 

incentive payments to modernize their 

State unemployment compensation (UC) 

law as well as to clarify the special 

transfer of funds, the suspension of 

interest on Federal loan advances and 

Federal tax on UC authorized by Public 

Law 111–5. The original guidance was 

issued as Unemployment Insurance 

Program Letter (UIPL) No. 14–09 on 

February 26, 2009 (available at: http:// 

wdr.doleta.gov/directives/attach/UIPL/ 

UIPL14–09.pdf). Additional guidance 

was issued on March 19, 2009 as UIPL 

14–09, Change 1 (available at: http:// 

wdr.doleta.gov/directives/attach/UIPL/ 

UIPL14–09c1.pdf). Both UIPLs are 

published below to inform the public. 

There are no rescissions on this 

continuing guidance. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

UIPL No. 14–09—Special Transfers for 

Unemployment Compensation 

Modernization and Administration and 

Relief From Interest on Advances 

1. Purpose. To advise States of 

amendments to Federal law providing 

for unemployment compensation (UC) 

modernization incentive payments to 

States, a special administrative transfer 

to States, relief from interest on 

advances to State unemployment funds, 

and the partial suspension of Federal 

income tax on UC. 

2. References. The Assistance for 

Unemployed Workers and Struggling 

Families Act, Title II of Division B of 

Public Law No. 111–5, enacted February 

17, 2009; Section 1007 of Public Law 

111–5; the Social Security Act (SSA); 

the Federal Unemployment Tax Act 

(FUTA); Unemployment Insurance 

Program Letter (UIPL) No. 39–97; and 

Training and Employment Guidance 

Letter (TEGL) No. 18–01. 

3. Background. Public Law 111–5 

made the following changes affecting 

the UC program: 

• Extended the Emergency UC 

program, commonly known as EUC08. 

• Created a new federally-funded 

program which temporarily increases 

UC benefits by $25 a week. 

• Temporarily modified provisions in 

the permanent Federal-State extended 

benefits program. 

• Provided for two special 

distributions from the Unemployment 

Trust Fund (UTF) to the States. 

• For States receiving advances to pay 

benefits under Title XII, SSA, waived 

interest due on these advances for a 

specified period. 

• Suspended the Federal income tax 

on the first $2,400 paid in UC for tax 

year 2009. 

The first three items are addressed in 

separate UIPLs. This UIPL addresses the 

special distributions, the provisions 

affecting Title XII loans, and the 

taxation of UC benefits.
