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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The ICR 

seeks to extend PRA authorization for 

the information collection requirements 

specified in regulations 30 CFR 77.1900. 

Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 

1977 section 103(h), 30 U.S.C. 813(h), 

authorizes the MSHA to collect 

information necessary to carry out its 

duty in protecting the safety and health 

of miners. The regulatory requirement 

requires an underground coal mine 

operator to submit for MSHA approval 

a plan that will provide for the safety of 

workers in each slope or shaft that is 

commenced or extended from the 

surface to the underground coal mine. 

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 1219–0019. 

OMB authorization for an ICR cannot 

be for more than three (3) years without 

renewal, and the current approval for 

this collection is scheduled to expire on 

March 31, 2014. The DOL seeks to 

extend PRA authorization for this 

information collection for three (3) more 

years, without any change to existing 

requirements. The DOL notes that 

existing information collection 

requirements submitted to the OMB 

receive a month-to-month extension 

while they undergo review. For 

additional substantive information 

about this ICR, see the related notice 

published in the Federal Register on 

November 4, 2013 (78 FR 66071). 

Interested parties are encouraged to 

send comments to the OMB, Office of 

Information and Regulatory Affairs at 

the address shown in the ADDRESSES

section within 30 days of publication of 

this notice in the Federal Register. In 

order to help ensure appropriate 

consideration, comments should 

mention OMB Control Number 1219– 

0019. 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.

requirements are subject to the PRA. A 

Federal agency generally cannot 

conduct or sponsor a collection of 

information, and the public is generally

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The WIF was created as a grant 

program by the Full-Year Continuing 

Appropriations Act, 2011 (in Sec. 1801, 

Title VIII, Div. B of Pub. L. 112–10), and 

the first round of grants was awarded in 

June 2012, with service delivery 

beginning in 2013. According to this 

Act, the WIF was established to ‘‘carry 

out projects that demonstrate innovative 

strategies or replicate effective evidencebased strategies that align and 

strengthen the workforce investment 

system in order to improve program 

delivery and education and employment 

outcomes for program beneficiaries.’’ 

One of the purposes of the WIF grants 

is to contribute to the documentation of 

evidence-based practice within the field 

of workforce development. 

This document requests approval to 

collect information to meet the reporting 

and recordkeeping requirements of the 

WIF grant program. In applying for the 

WIF grant program, grantees agreed to 

submit quarterly reports—both narrative 

and performance reports—that describe
