1701 North Church Street, McKinney, 

Texas. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Council on 

Environmental Quality Regulations (40 

CFR part 1500–08) implementing 

procedural provisions of the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the 

Department of Labor, Office of the 

Secretary (OSEC) in accordance with 29 

CFR 11.11(d), gives notice that an 

Environmental Assessment (EA) has 

been prepared for a proposed Wind 

Turbine Installation to be located at the 

North Texas Job Corps Center, 1701 

North Church Street, McKinney, Texas, 

and that the proposed plan for the 

construction of a wind turbine at the 

North Texas Job Corps Center will have 

no significant environmental impact. 

This Preliminary Finding of No 

Significant Impact (FONSI) will be 

made available for public review and 

comment for a period of 30 days. 

DATES: Comments must be submitted by 

November 16, 2009. 

ADDRESSES: Any comment(s) are to be 

submitted to William A Dakshaw, P.E., 

Division of Facilities and Asset 

Management, Department of Labor, 200 

Constitution Avenue, NW., Room N– 

4460, Washington, DC 20210, (202) 693– 

2867 (this is not a toll-free number). 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Copies of the EA are available to 

interested parties by contacting William 

A Dakshaw, P.E., Division of Facilities 

and Asset Management, Department of 

Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue, NW., 

Room N–4460, Washington, DC 20210, 

(202) 693–2867 (this is not a toll-free 

number). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This EA 

summary addresses the proposed 

construction of a single 50 kW rated 

wind turbine at the North Texas Job 

Corps Center. 

The wind turbine will be installed on 

self-supporting towers approximately 

120′ above the ground. The wind 

turbine will produce clean energy for 

the North Texas Job Corps center, 

demonstrate renewable energy 

capabilities to Job Corps Students and 

help the program meet federal 

requirements in Executive Order 13423 

for renewable energy production. 

This project is not expected to have a 

negative impact on population 

demographics, the surrounding area, 

environmental quality, or natural 

systems and heritage. 

Based on the information gathered 

during the preparation of the EA, the 

construction of the Wind Turbine 

Installation at the North Texas Job Corps 

Center, 1701 North Church Street, 

McKinney, Texas will not create any 

significant adverse impacts on the 

environment.

Proposed Information Collection 

Request Submitted for Public 

Comment and Recommendations; 

Mine Rescue Teams; Arrangements for 

Emergency Medical Assistance; and 

Arrangements for Transportation for 

Injured Persons 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as 

part of its continuing effort to reduce 

paperwork and respondent burden 

conducts a pre-clearance consultation 

program to provide the general public 

and Federal agencies with an 

opportunity to comment on proposed 

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 49.2, 49.3 49.4, 49.5 

49.6, 49.7, 49.8 and 49.9. 

DATES: Submit comments on or before 

December 14, 2009. 

ADDRESSES: Send comments to U.S. 

Department of Labor, Mine Safety and 

Health Administration, John Rowlett, 

Director, Management Services 

Division, 1100 Wilson Boulevard, Room 

2134, Arlington, VA 22209–3939. 

Commenters are encouraged to send 

their comments on a computer disk, or 

via E-mail to Rowlett.John@dol.gov, 

along with an original printed copy. Mr. 

Rowlett can be reached at (202) 693–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Section 115 (e) of the Federal Mine 

Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine 

Act) required the Secretary of Labor 

(Secretary) to publish proposed 

regulations which provide that mine 

rescue teams be available for rescue and 

recovery work to each underground 

mine in the event of an emergency. In 

addition, the costs of making advance 

arrangements for such teams are to be 

borne by the operator of each such 

mine. 

Congress considered the ready 

availability of mine rescue in the event 

of an accident to be vital protection for 

miners. Congress was concerned that 

too often in the past, rescue efforts at a 

disaster site have had to await the 

delayed arrival of skilled mine rescue 

teams. In responding to Congressional 

concerns, the Mine Safety and Health 

Administration (MSHA) promulgated 30 

CFR Part 49, Mine Rescue Teams. The 

regulations set standards related to the 

availability of mine rescue teams; 

alternate mine rescue capability for 

small and remote mines and mines with 

special mining conditions; inspection 

and maintenance records of mine rescue 

equipment and apparatus; physical 

requirements for mine rescue team 

members and alternates; and experience 

and training requirements for team 

members and alternates. 

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

Current Actions 

Under 30 CFR part 49, Mine Rescue 

Teams, the regulations set standards 

related to the availability of mine rescue 

teams; alternate mine rescue capability 

for small and remote mines and mines 

with special mining conditions; 

inspection and maintenance records of 

mine rescue equipment and apparatus; 

physical requirements for mine rescue 

team members and alternates; and 

experience and training requirements 

for team members and alternates. Parts 

75 and 77 requires that coal mine 

operators make arrangements with a 

licensed physician, medical service, 

medical clinic, or hospital and with an 

ambulance service to provide 24-hour 

emergency medical assistance and 

transportation. That information is to be 

posted at the mine.

the inspections and tests were done. 

The certification and the record of 

corrective action taken, if any, shall be 

maintained at the mine rescue station 

for a period of one year. § 49.7 requires 

that each team member and alternate be 

examined within 60 days of the 

beginning of the initial training, and 

annually thereafter by a physician who 

shall certify the physical fitness of the 

team member to perform mine rescue 

and recovery work for prolonged 

periods under strenuous conditions. 

The operator shall have MSHA Form 

5000–3 on file for each team member. 

These forms shall be kept on file at 

either the mine or the mine rescue 

station for a period of one year. § 49.8 

requires that prior to serving on a mine 

rescue team, each member must 

complete an initial 20-hour course of 

instruction and all team members are 

required to receive 40 hours of refresher 

training annually. A record of the
