Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 22 / Thursday, February 1, 2024 / Notices 6553 

address one or more of the following 

four points: 

—Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the Bureau of Justice 

Statistics, 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; 

—Evaluate whether and if so how the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected can be 

enhanced; 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 submission of 

responses. 

Abstract: Under title 28 U.S.C. 534, 

subsections (a) and (c); the Hate Crime 

Statistics Act, 34 U.S.C. 41305, modified 

by the Matthew Shepard and James 

Byrd, Jr., Hate Crimes Prevention Act 

(2009), Public Law, section 4708; and 

the Uniform Federal Crime Reporting 

Act of 1988, 34 U.S.C. 41303, this 

information collection requests hate 

crime data from LEAs in order for the 

FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) 

Program to serve as the national 

clearinghouse for the collection and 

dissemination of hate crime data and to 

publish these statistics annually in 

various data releases. The hate crime 

data provide information about the bias 

motivation, offenses, victims, offenders, 

and locations of hate crime incidents. 

Overview of This Information 

Collection 

(1) Type of Information Collection: 

Extension of a currently approved 

collection. 

(2) The Title of the Form/Collection: 

Hate Crime Incident Report. 

(3) The agency form number, if any, 

and the applicable component of the 

Department sponsoring the collection: 

The form number is 1–700. The 

applicable component within the DOJ is 

the CJIS Division, FBI. 

(4) Affected public who will be asked 

or required to respond, as well as the 

obligation to respond: Affected Public 

Primary: Federal, state, local, tribal, 

university/college, and territorial law 

enforcement agencies (LEAs). The 

obligation to respond is voluntary. 

(5) An estimate of the total number of 

respondents and the amount of time 

estimated for an average respondent to 

respond: The estimated number of LEAs 

submitting monthly data to the FBI’s 

UCR Program is 15,588. Annually, those 

LEAs submit a total of 187,056 

responses (15,588 LEAs × 12 months = 

187,056 annual responses). The 

estimated time it takes for an average 

response is seven minutes. 

(6) An estimate of the total annual 

burden (in hours) associated with the 

collection: The estimated annual public 

burden associated with the Hate Crime 

Data Collection is 21,823 hours 

[(187,056 annual responses × 7 minutes 

per response)/60 minutes per hour = 

21,823.2 total annual hours]. 

(7) An estimate of the total annual 

cost burden associated with the 

collection, if applicable: $0.

AGENCY: Mine Safety and Health 

Administration (MSHA), Labor. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Federal Mine Safety and 

Health Act of 1977 and title 30 of the 

Code of Federal Regulations govern the 

application, processing, and disposition 

of petitions for modification of 

mandatory safety standards. Any mine 

operator or representative of miners may 

petition for an alternative method of 

complying with an existing safety 

standard. MSHA reviews the content of 

each submitted petition, assesses the 

mine in question, and ultimately issues 

a decision on the petition. This notice 

includes a list of petitions for 

modification that were granted after 

MSHA’s review and investigation, 

between July 1, 2023, and December 31, 

2023. 

ADDRESSES: Copies of the final decisions 

are posted on MSHA’s website at 

https://www.msha.gov/regulations/ 

rulemaking/petitions-modification. The 

public may inspect the petitions and 

final decisions in person at MSHA, 

Office of Standards, Regulations, and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

Under section 101(c) of the Federal 

Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977, any 

mine operator or representative of 

miners may petition to use an 

alternative approach to comply with a 

mandatory safety standard. In response, 

the Secretary of Labor (Secretary) or his 

or her designee may modify the 

application of a mandatory safety 

standard to that mine if the Secretary 

determines that: (1) An alternative 

method exists that will guarantee no

6554 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 22 / Thursday, February 1, 2024 / Notices 

less protection for the miners affected 

than that provided by the standard; or 

(2) the application of the standard will 

result in a diminution of safety to the 

affected miners. 

MSHA bases the final decision on the 

petitioner’s statements, any comments 

and information submitted by interested 

persons, and a field investigation of the 

conditions at the mine. In some 

instances, MSHA may approve a 

petition for modification on the 

condition that the mine operator 

complies with other requirements noted 

in the decision. In other instances, 

MSHA may deny, dismiss, or revoke a 

petition for modification. In accordance 

with 30 CFR 44.5, MSHA publishes 

every final action granting a petition for 

modification. 

II. Granted Petitions for Modification

MSHA’s investigation, and as designee 

of the Secretary, MSHA granted or 

partially granted the petitions for 

modification below. Since the previous
