**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  This ICR seeks to extend PRA authority for the Mine Accident, Injury, and Illness Report and Quarterly Mine Employment and Coal Production Report information collection. The reporting and recordkeeping provisions in regulations 30 CFR part 50, Notification, Investigation, Reports and Records of Accidents, Injuries and Illnesses, Employment and Coal Production in Mines, are essential elements in the MSHA’s Congressional mandate to reduce work-related injuries and illnesses among the nation’s miners. Accident, injury, and illness data, when correlated with employment and production data, provide information that allows the MSHA to improve its safety and health enforcement programs, focus its education and training efforts, and establish priorities for its technical assistance activities in mine safety and health. Maintaining a current database allows the MSHA to identify and direct increased attention to those mines, industry segments, and geographical
areas where hazardous trends are developing. This could not be done effectively using historical data. The information collected under part 50 is the most comprehensive and reliable occupational data available concerning the mining industry. The Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977
authorizes this information collection.

See 30 U.S.C. 813(h).

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 1219–0007.

OMB authorization for an ICR cannot be for more than three (3) years without renewal, and the current approval for this collection is scheduled to expire on July 31, 2014. The DOL seeks to extend
PRA authorization for this information collection for three (3) more years, without any change to existing requirements. The DOL notes 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 February 27, 2014 (79 FR 11133).

Interested parties are encouraged to send comments to the OMB, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs at

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :** 
I. Background

The Davis-Bacon and related Acts(DBRA) require the application of DavisBacon labor standards to federal and federally assisted construction. The Copeland Act (40 U.S.C. 3145) requires the Secretary of Labor to prescribe reasonable regulations for contractors and subcontractors engaged inconstruction work subject to DavisBacon labor standards. While theFederal contracting or assistanceadministering agencies have a primaryresponsibility for enforcement of DavisBacon labor standards, Reorganization Plan Number 14 of 1950 assigns to the Secretary of Labor responsibility for developing government-wide policies, interpretations and procedures to be observed by the contracting and assisting agencies, in order to assure
coordination of administration and consistency of DBRA enforcement.

The Copeland Act provision cited above specifically requires the regulations to ‘‘include a provision that
each contractor and subcontractor each
week must furnish a statement on the wages paid each employee during the prior week.’’ This requirement is implemented by 29 CFR 3.3 and 3.4 and
the standard Davis-Bacon contract
clauses set forth at 29 CFR 5.5. Regulations 29 CFR 5.5(a)(3)(ii)(A) requires contractors to submit weekly a copy of all payrolls to the federal agency contracting for or financing the construction project. If the agency is not a party to the contract, the contractor will submit the payrolls to the applicant, sponsor, or owner, as the case may be, for transmission to the contracting agency. This same section requires that the payrolls submitted shall set out accurately and completely the information required to be maintained under 29 CFR 5.5(a)(3)(i), except that full social security numbers
and home addresses shall not be included on weekly transmittals, and instead, the payrolls shall only need to include an individually identifying number for each employee ( e.g. , the last four digits of the employee’s social security number). The required weekly payroll information may be submitted in any form desired. Optional Form WH– 347 is available for this purpose from the Wage and Hour Division Web site at http://www.dol.gov/whd/forms/ wh347.pdf.

Regulations 29 CFR 3.3(b) requires each contractor to furnish weekly a signed ‘‘Statement of Compliance’’ accompanying the payroll indicating the
