announcing the 2018 Adverse Effect 

Wage Rate (AEWR) for the employment 

of temporary or seasonal nonimmigrant 

foreign workers (H–2A workers) to 

perform herding or production of 

livestock on the range. That notice

Correction 

In the Federal Register of Friday, 

December 22, 2017, in FR Doc. 17– 

27530, on page 60768, in the third 

column, correct the first paragraph to 

read: 

Thus, the national monthly AEWR rate for 

all range occupations in the H–2A program 

in 2018 is calculated by multiplying the full 

AEWR for calendar year 2017 by the 2018 

ECI adjustment ($1544.07 × 1.026 = 

$1,584.22). Accordingly, any employer 

certified or seeking certification for range 

workers must pay each worker a wage that 

is at least the highest of the monthly AEWR 

of $1,584.22, the agreed-upon collective 

bargaining wage, or the applicable minimum 

wage imposed by Federal or State legislation 

or judicial action, at the time work is 

performed on or after the effective date of 

this notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR 

seeks to extend PRA authority for the 

Certification and Qualification to 

Examine, Test, Operate Hoists, and to 

Perform Other Duties information 

collection. More specifically, this ICR 

pertains to the certification of certain 

persons to perform specific 

examinations and tests. This ICR also 

seeks to extend PRA approval for 

procedures under which a coalmine 

operator is required to maintain a list of 

certified and qualified persons, and to 

develop an approved training plan for 

hosting engineers or host operators. A 

respondent uses the Safety and Health 

Activity Certification or Hoisting 

Engineer Qualification Request, Form 

MSHA–5000–41, in order to comply 

with the subject information collection 

requirements. Federal Mine Safety & 

Health Act of 1977 section 103(h) 

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
