Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 109 / Tuesday, June 7, 2022 / Notices 34721 

Trustees’ completion of a damage 

assessment or the filing of legal actions 

against parties liable under CERCLA at 

the Sites. 

The agreement provides for the 

completion of natural resource 

restoration work as described below, in 

return for a $73.5 million credit to offset 

liability for natural resource damages at 

the Sites. The amount of credit is based 

on the Trustees’ estimate of the cost of 

undertaking the work themselves. The 

agreement specifies that the work only 

partially provides compensation for 

natural resource damage liability at the 

Sites, and reserves the Trustees’ rights 

for further recovery against any PRP, 

including BASF. The proposed location 

for the restoration work is at the 

intersection of Clay Street and Passaic 

Avenue in East Newark, New Jersey. 

The project includes five acres adjacent 

to the Passaic River, and includes the 

transformation of a former 

manufacturing site of BASF and an 

adjacent property, into restored 

naturalized flora and fauna with a 

hydrological connection to the River. 

BASF will undertake the design and 

construction, provide funding for future 

operation and maintenance, reimburse 

Trustee oversight costs, and impose a 

conservation easement and restriction 

on the property to protect against future 

development. The work also includes 

creation of public access to the River. 

The publication of this notice opens 

a period for public comment on the 

proposed agreement. Comments should 

be addressed to the Assistant Attorney 

General, Environment and Natural 

Resources Division, and should refer to

Activities; Submission for OMB 

Review; Comment Request; Main Fan

and V–A Mines) 

ACTION: Notice of availability; request 

for comments.

and Health Administration (MSHA)- 

sponsored information collection

(PRA). Public comments on the ICR are 

invited. 

DATES: The OMB will consider all 

written comments that the agency 

receives on or before July 7, 2022. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments and 

recommendations for the proposed 

information collection should be sent 

within 30 days of publication of this 

notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/ 

PRAMain. Find this particular 

information collection by selecting

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Potentially gassy (explosive) conditions 

underground are largely controlled by 

the main fans. When accumulations of 

explosive gases, such as methane, are 

not swept from the mine by the main 

fans, they may reasonably be expected 

to contact an ignition source. The 

results of such contacts are usually 

disastrous, and multiple fatalities may 

be reasonably expected to occur. The 

standard contains significantly more 

stringent requirements for main fans in 

‘‘gassy’’ mines than for main fans in 

other mines. Title 30 CFR 57.22204, 

which only applies to metal and 

nonmetal underground mines that are 

categorized as ‘‘gassy,’’ requires main 

fans to have pressure-recording systems. 

This standard also requires main fans to 

be inspected daily while operating if 

persons are underground and 

certification made of such inspections 

by signature and date. Certifications and 

pressure recordings must be retained for 

one year and made available to 

authorized representatives of the 

Secretary. For additional substantive 

information about this ICR, see the 

related notice published in the Federal 

Register on January 26, 2022 (87 FR 

4048). 

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. 

DOL seeks PRA authorization for this 

information collection for three (3) 

years. OMB authorization for an ICR 

cannot be for more than three (3) years 

without renewal. The DOL notes that 

information collection requirements 

submitted to the OMB for existing ICRs 

receive a month-to-month extension 

while they undergo review. 

Agency: DOL–MSHA. 

Title of Collection: Main Fan 

Operation and Inspection (I–A, II–A, III, 

and V–A mines). 

OMB Control Number:1219–0030. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit.
