SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

reporting and recordkeeping provisions 

in 30 CFR 50, Notification, 

Investigation, Reports and Records of 

Accidents, Injuries and Illnesses, 

Employment and Coal Production in 

Mines, are essential elements in 

MSHA’s statutory mandate to reduce 

work-related injuries and illnesses 

among the nation’s miners (30 U.S.C. 

801). Part 50 applies to operators of 

coal, metal, and nonmetal mines. It 

requires operators to immediately notify 

MSHA of accidents, investigate 

accidents and restrict disturbance of 

accident-related areas. This part also 

requires operators to file reports with 

MSHA pertaining to accidents, 

occupational injuries, and occupational 

illnesses, as well as employment and 

coal production data, and requires 

operators to maintain copies of reports 

at mine offices. For additional 

substantive information about this ICR, 

see the related notice published in the 

Federal Register on September 21, 2023 

(88 FRN 65196). 

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 the OMB 

approves it 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 OMB Control Number. 

See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

103(h) of the Mine Act, 30 U.S.C. 813, 

authorizes MSHA to collect information 

necessary to carry out its duty in 

protecting the safety and health of 

miners. It has long been known that 

inadequate maintenance of electric 

equipment is a major cause of serious 

electrical accidents in the coal mining 

industry. MSHA regulations require the 

mine operator to establish an electrical 

maintenance program by specifying 

minimum requirements for the 

examination, testing, and maintenance 

of electric equipment. The regulations 

also contain recordkeeping 

requirements that help operators in 

implementing an effective maintenance 

program. This ICR requires coal mine 

operators to frequently exam, test, and 

properly maintain all electrical 

equipment and high voltage longwall 

mining systems and to keep records of 

the examinations and tests. For 

additional substantive information 

about this ICR, see the related notice 

published in the Federal Register on 

July 24, 2023 (88 FRN 47520).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 30 CFR 

56.19057 and 57.19057 require the 

annual examination and certification of 

hoist operators’ fitness by a qualified, 

licensed physician. The information is 

used by mine operators and MSHA 

enforcement personnel to verify that 

persons operating hoisting equipment 

are physically able to safely perform 

their functions. If MSHA cannot verify 

that hoist operators are capable of 

performing their assigned tasks, the 

individuals themselves, and those 

requiring hoisting into or out of a mine, 

may be at risk. Hoist operators provide 

a critical service to all personnel and 

equipment going into and out of some 

surface and underground mines, as well 

as emergency responders on an asneeded basis. Improper hoisting, caused 

by the inability of a hoist operator to 

function effectively due to a medical 

problem, can cause serious injury or 

death. For additional substantive 

information about this ICR, see the 

related notice published in the Federal 

Register on August 1, 2023 (88 FRN 

50180).

NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND 

SPACE ADMINISTRATION 

[Notice: (23–125)] 

Nationwide Programmatic Agreement 

Regarding the Management of NASA 

Assets 

AGENCY: National Aeronautics and 

Space Administration (NASA). 

ACTION: Notice of availability (NOA) for 

a proposed nationwide programmatic 

agreement; request for comments. 

SUMMARY: NASA is proposing a 

nationwide programmatic agreement 

(NPA), among NASA, the Advisory 

Council on Historic Preservation 

(ACHP) and the National Conference of 

State Historic Preservation Officers 

(NCSHPO) for management of NASA 

assets. The purpose of the NPA is to 

create a process by which NASA can 

meet its responsibilities to manage its 

U.S. real property assets under sections 

106 and 110 of the National Historic 

Preservation Act (NHPA) in a manner 

that accommodates NASA’s mission and 

addresses the unique challenges of 

historic highly technical and scientific 

facilities (HTSF). The need for a tailored 

process became more essential in 2015, 

when the Office of Management and 

Budget released the ‘‘National Strategy 

for the Efficient Use of Real Property’’ 

and the companion policy, ‘‘Reduce the 

Footprint’’, which requires Federal 

agencies to dispose of surplus 

properties, make more efficient use of 

the Government’s real property assets, 

and reduce the total square footage of 

their domestic office and warehouse 

inventory relative to an established 

baseline. NASA requests comments on 

the proposed agreement. 

DATES: Comments should be received by 

January 24, 2024. 

ADDRESSES: The Draft NPA is available 

for review at https://www.nasa.gov/ 

emd/npa-drafts/. We encourage you to 

submit comments on the NPA via 

electronic mail to hq-crm@

mail.nasa.gov. Comments may also be 

sent by mail Attention: Office of the 

General Counsel, (General Law—Curtis 

Borland), Mary W. Jackson NASA 

Headquarters, 300 E St. SW, 

Washington, DC 20546. Please note that 

correspondence sent by mail may 

encounter delays in receipt by the 

agency.

Rebecca Klein, Federal Preservation 

Officer, by electronic mail at hq-crm@
