Notice of Funding Opportunity and 

Solicitation for Grant Applications 

(SGA) for Serving Young Adult ExOffenders Through Training and 

Service-Learning 

AGENCY: Employment and Training 

Administration, Labor. 

ACTION: Notice of Solicitation for Grant 

Applications (SGA). 

Funding Opportunity Number: SGA/ 

DFA PY 11–03. 

SUMMARY: Through this notice, the 

Department of Labor’s Employment and 

Training Administration (ETA) 

announces the availability of 

approximately $30 million to serve 

juvenile offenders ages 18–21 who have 

been involved in the juvenile justice 

system from the age of 14 or above and 

have never been convicted as an adult 

under Federal or State Law. ETA 

expects to award a minimum of 20 

grants at various amounts up to $1.5 

million each to cover a 30-month period 

that includes up to four months of 

planning and a minimum of 26 months 

of operation. Any non-profit 

organization with IRS 501(c)(3) status, 

unit of state or local government, or any 

Indian and Native American entity 

eligible for grants under WIA Section 

166 may apply for these grants. Servicelearning projects conducted through 

these grants must integrate meaningful 

community service with instruction and 

reflection that enrich the learning 

experience, teach civic responsibility, 

and encourage lifelong civic 

engagement. Training provided through 

these grants is expected to lead to 

credentials recognized by in demand 

industries in the grantee’s geographic 

area to be served. 

Through service-learning, returning 

offenders are offered the opportunity to 

reestablish community-based trust 

while enhancing their work-based skills 

and status in their communities. 

The complete SGA and any 

subsequent SGA amendments, in 

connection with this solicitation are 

described in further detail on ETA’s 

Web site at http://www.doleta.gov/

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Department of Labor, as part of its 

continuing effort to reduce paperwork 

and respondent (i.e., employer) burden, 

conducts a preclearance consultation 

program to provide the public with an 

opportunity to comment on proposed 

and continuing information collection 

requirements in accord with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program 

ensures that information is in the 

desired format, reporting burden (time 

and costs) is minimal, collection 

instruments are clearly understood, and 

OSHA’s estimate of the information 

collection burden is accurate. The 

Occupational Safety and Health Act of 

1970 (the OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651 et 

seq.) authorizes information collection 

by employers as necessary or 

appropriate for enforcement of the OSH 

Act or for developing information 

regarding the causes and prevention of 

occupational injuries, illnesses, and 

accidents (29 U.S.C. 657). The OSH Act 

also requires that OSHA obtain such 

information with minimum burden 

upon employers, especially those 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

9704 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 33 / Friday, February 17, 2012 / Notices 

operating small businesses, and to 

reduce to the maximum extent feasible 

unnecessary duplication of efforts in 

obtaining information (29 U.S.C. 657). 

The Standard on Blasting and the Use 

of Explosives (29 CFR part 1926, subpart 

U) specifies a number of paperwork 

requirements. The following is a brief 

description of the collection of 

information requirements contained in 

the Subpart. 

General Provisions (§ 1926.900) 

§ 1926.900(d)—Paragraph (d) states 

that employers must ensure that 

explosives not in use are kept in a 

locked magazine, unavailable to persons 

not authorized to handle explosives. 

The employers must maintain an 

inventory and use record of all 

explosives—in use and not in use. In 

addition, the employer must notify the 

appropriate authorities in the event of 

any loss, theft, or unauthorized entry 

into a magazine. 

§ 1926.900(k)(3)(i)—Paragraph (k)(3)(i) 

requires employers to display adequate 

signs warning against the use of mobile 

radio transmitters on all roads within 

1,000 feet of blasting operations to 

prevent the accidental discharge of 

electric blasting caps caused by current 

induced by radar, radio transmitters, 

lightening, adjacent power lines, dust 

storms, or other sources of extraneous 

electricity. The employer must certify 

and maintain a record of alternative 

provisions made to adequately prevent 

any premature firing of electric blasting 

caps. 

§ 1926.900(o)—Employers must notify 

the operators and/or owners of overhead 

power lines, communication lines, 

utility lines, or other services and 

structures when blasting operations will 

take place in proximity to those lines, 

services, or structures. 

§ 1926.903(d)—The employer must 

notify the hoist operator prior to 

transporting explosives or blasting 

agents in a shaft conveyance. 

§ 1926.903(e)—Employers must 

perform weekly inspections on the 

electrical system of trucks used for 

underground transportation of 

explosives. The weekly inspection is to 

detect any failure in the system which 

would constitute an electrical hazard. 

The most recent certification of 

inspection must be maintained and 

must include the date of inspection, a 

serial number or other identifier of the 

truck inspected, and the signature of the 

person who performed the inspection. 

§ 1926.905(t)—Under § 1926.905(t), 

the employer blaster must maintain an 

accurate and up-to-date record of 

explosives, blasting agents, and blasting 

supplies used in a blast. In addition, the 

employer must also maintain an 

accurate running inventory of all 

explosives and blasting agents stored on 

the operation. 

§ 1926.909(a)—Employers must post a 

code of blasting agents on one or more 

conspicuous places at the operation. 

Additionally, all employees shall 

familiarize themselves with the code 

and conform to it at all times. Danger 

signs warning of blasting agents shall 

also be placed at suitable locations. 

II. Special Issues for Comment 

OSHA has a particular interest in 

comments on the following issues: 

• Whether the proposed information 

collection requirements are necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

Agency’s functions, including whether 

the information is useful; 

• The accuracy of OSHA’s estimate of 

the burden (time and costs) of the 

information collection requirements, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

• The quality, utility, and clarity of 

the information collected; and 

• Ways to minimize the burden on 

employers who must comply; for 

example, by using automated or other 

technological information collection 

and transmission techniques. 

III. Proposed Actions 

OSHA is requesting that OMB extend 

its approval of the collection of 

information requirements contained in 

the Standard on Blasting and the Use of 

Explosives. The Agency will include 

this summary in its request to OMB to 

extend the approval of these collection 

of information requirements. 

Type of Review: Extension of 

currently approved collection. 

Title: Blasting and the Use of 

Explosives (29 CFR part 1926, subpart 

U). 

OMB Number: 1218–0217. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofits. 

Number of Respondents: 160. 

Total Responses: 217. 

Frequency: On occasion. 

Average Time per Response: Time 

varies from 5 minutes (.08 hour) to 

notify a hoist operator of blasting agents 

to 8 hours to develop an alternative plan 

if an employer is unable to display 

adequate signs warning against the use 

of mobile radio transmitters during 

blasting operations. 

Total Burden Hours: 1,294. 

Estimated Cost (Operation and 

Maintenance): $400,000.
