Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3507(a)(1)(D). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR 

seeks approval under the PRA for 

revisions to the FMLA information 

collection approval resulting from a 

Final Rule the Department is publishing 

elsewhere in today’s issuance of the 

Federal Register and because of minor 

clarifications to certain disclosures the 

Department makes on certain forms to 

respondents. The notification 

requirements approved by this ICR will 

implement the FMLA’s statutory notice 

and certification provisions and assist 

employees and employers in meeting 

their FMLA notification obligations. The 

recordkeeping requirements covered by 

this ICR are necessary in order for the 

DOL to carry out its statutory obligation 

under FMLA section 106 (29 U.S.C. 

2616) to investigate and ensure 

employer compliance. 

Elsewhere is today’s issuance of the 

Federal Register, the DOL has 

published a Final Rule that amends the 

FMLA definition of spouse in light of 

the United States Supreme Court’s 

decision in United States v. Windsor, 

133 S. Ct. 2675 (2013) that found 

Defense of Marriage Act section 3 (1 

U.S.C. 7) to be unconstitutional. This 

ICR revises the paperwork burden 

estimates to reflect the rule. In addition, 

the WHD has made minor clarifications 

to some of the information on the forms 

(e.g., adding information that certain 

records may need to be maintained in 

accordance with regulations issued to 

implement the Genetic Information 

Nondiscrimination Act). FMLA section 

404 authorizes this information 

collection. See 29 U.S.C. 2654. 

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 1235–0003. The current 

approval is scheduled to expire on 

February 28, 2015; however, the DOL 

notes that existing information 

collection requirements submitted to the 

OMB receive a month-to-month 

extension while they undergo review. 

New information collection 

requirements would only take effect 

upon OMB approval or when the Final 

Rule takes effect, whichever is later. For 

additional substantive information 

about this ICR, see the related notice 

published in the Federal Register on 

November 11, 2014 (78 FR 54299). 

Interested parties are encouraged to 

send comments regarding the ICR to the 

OMB, Office of Information and 

Regulatory Affairs at the address shown 

in the ADDRESSES section within thirty 

(30) days of publication of this notice in 

the Federal Register. In order to help 

ensure appropriate consideration, 

comments should mention OMB Control 

Number 1235–0003. The OMB 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 submission of 

responses.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Section 101(c) of the Federal Mine 

Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine 

Act) allows the mine operator or 

representative of miners to file a 

petition to modify the application of any 

mandatory safety standard to a coal or 

other mine if the Secretary of Labor 

determines that: 

1. An alternative method of achieving 

the result of such standard exists which 

will at all times guarantee no less than 

the same measure of protection afforded 

the miners of such mine by such 

standard; or 

2. That the application of such 

standard to such mine will result in a 

diminution of safety to the miners in 

such mine. 

In addition, the regulations at 30 CFR 

44.10 and 44.11 establish the 

requirements and procedures for filing 

petitions for modification. 

II. Petitions for Modification 

Docket Numbers: M–2015–001–C and 

M–2015–002–C. 

Petitioner: Sunrise Coal LLC, 12661 

North Agricare Road, Oaktown, Indiana 

47561. 

Mines: Oaktown Fuels No. 1 Mine, 

MSHA I.D. No. 12–02394, and Oaktown 

Fuels No. 2, MSHA I.D. No. 12–02418, 

both located in Knox County, Indiana. 

Regulation Affected: 30 CFR 75.503 

(Permissible electric face equipment; 

maintenance), 30 CFR 18.35(a)(5) 

(Portable (trailing) cables and cords). 

Modification Request: The petitioner 

requests a modification of the existing 

standard to increase the maximum 

length of trailing cables supplying 

power to permissible pumps in the 

mines. The petitioner states that: 

(1) These petitions will apply only to 

trailing cables supplying three-phase, 

480-volt power for permissible pumps. 

(2) The maximum length of the 

trailing cables for a 480-volt permissible 

pump will be 4000 feet. 

(3) The permissible pump will be no 

greater than 6.2 horsepower. 

(4) The 480-volt power for permissible 

pump trailing cables exceeding 500 feet 

will not be smaller than No. 6 AWG. 

(5) All circuit breakers used to protect 

No. 6 AWG trailing cables exceeding 

500 feet in length will have an 

instantaneous trip unit calibrated to trip 

at 60 amperes. These circuit breakers 

will be in the cable coupler and the 

cable coupler will have permanent, 

legible labels. Each label will identify 

the cable coupler as being suitable for 

protecting No. 6 AWG cables. This label 

will be maintained legible. 

(6) Replacement circuit breakers used 

to protect No. 6 AWG trailing cables 

exceeding 500 feet in length will be 

calibrated to trip at 60 amperes. 

(7) All circuit breakers used to protect 

the No. 2 AWG trailing cables exceeding 

500 feet in length will have 

instantaneous trip units calibrated to 

trip at 150 amperes. These circuit 

breakers will be in the cable coupler and 

the cable coupler will have permanent, 

legible labels. Each label will identify 

the cable coupler as being suitable for 

protecting No. 2 AWG cables. The labels 

will be maintained legible. 

(8) Replacement circuit breakers used 

to protect No. 2 AWG trailing cables 

exceeding 500 feet in length will be 

calibrated to trip at 150 amperes. 

(9) The petitioner’s alternative 

method will not be implemented until 

all miners who have been designated to 

examine and verify the short-circuit 

settings and proper procedures for 

examining trailing cables for defects and 

damage have received training. 

(10) Within 60 days after these 

petitions are granted, the petitioner will 

submit proposed revisions for their 

approved 30 CFR part 48 training plans 

to the District Manager for the area in 

which the mine is located. The training 

will include the following: 

(a) Mining methods and operating 

procedures for protecting the trailing 

cables against damage. 

(b) Proper procedures for examining 

the trailing cables to ensure safe 

operating condition. 

(c) The hazards of setting the 

instantaneous circuit breakers too high 

to adequately protect the trailing cables. 

(d) How to verify that the circuit 

interrupting device(s) protecting the 

trailing cable(s) are properly set and 

maintained. 

The petitioner further states that 

procedures specified in 30 CFR 48.3 for 

proposed revisions to approved training 

plans will apply. 

The petitioner asserts that the 

alternative method will guarantee no 

less than the same measure of protection 

for all miners than that of the existing 

standard.
