61314 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 203 / Friday, October 21, 2005 / Notices 

• 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 submissions 

of responses. 

Agency: Center for Faith-Based and 

Community Initiatives. 

Title: Workforce Investment Board 

survey. 

OMB Number: 1290–0NEW. 

Frequency: One time. 

Affected Public: State, Local, or Tribal 

Government. 

Number of Respondents: 

Approximately 665. 

Estimated Number of Responses: 532. 

Estimated Time Per Respondent: 20 

minutes. 

Total Burden Hours: 180. 

Total Burden Cost (capital/startup): 

$0. 

Total Burden Cost (operating/ 

maintaining): $0. 

Description: DOL currently does not 

have a mechanism by which to obtain 

information regarding the grants, 

contracts, and cooperative agreements 

being awarded by local and state WIBs 

using Workforce Investment Act (WIA) 

funds. It is critical that DOL begin to 

obtain information about these grants, 

contracts, and cooperative agreements 

in order to better understand how much 

money is being spent and the types of 

organizations receiving the funds. DOL 

is especially interested in obtaining 

information on awards to faith-based 

organizations. DOL is interested in 

obtaining information about grants, 

contracts, and cooperative agreements 

using WIA youth funds in particular. 

The WIB survey will bridge this gap 

in DOL–ETA’s knowledge of WIB 

grants, contracts, and cooperative 

agreements using WIA youth funds. 

Through this survey, DOL plans to 

contact every state and local WIB, rather 

than a representative sample of WIBs. 

This is because DOL wants to obtain not 

only summary information about the 

grants, contracts, and cooperative 

agreements (e.g., average amount, 

average number awarded by each WIB, 

etc.), but also specific information about 

each individual award in the past year. 

Because we are not sampling the WIBs, 

we have not needed to provide a 

sampling plan. 

The survey will ask each WIB a small 

number of questions. These questions 

will be: 

• Name of the organization receiving 

the grant/contract/cooperative 

agreement 

• City where organization is located 

• State where organization is located 

• Amount of the grant/contract/ 

cooperative agreement 

• Type of organization receiving 

award (e.g., state and local government, 

educational institution, faith-based 

organization). 

This survey will be administered to 

the state and local WIBs using the 

internet.

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR 

Mine Safety and Health Administration 

Proposed Information Collection 

Request; Submitted for Public 

Comment and Recommendations; 

Approval, Exhaust Gas Monitoring, 

and Safety Requirements for the Use 

of Diesel-Powered Equipment in 

Underground Coal Mines 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as 

part of its continuing effort to reduce 

paperwork and respondent burden 

conducts a pre-clearance consultation 

program to provide the general public 

and Federal agencies with an 

opportunity to comment on proposed 

and/or continuing collections of 

information in accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(PRA95) [44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(c)(A)]. This 

program helps to ensure that requested 

data can be provided in the desired 

format, reporting burden (time and 

financial resources) is minimized, 

collection instruments are clearly 

understood, and the impact of collection 

requirements on respondents can be 

properly assessed. 

Currently, the Mine Safety and Health 

Administration (MSHA) is soliciting 

comments concerning the extension of 

the information collection related to the 

30 CFR: 7.83 and 7.97—Application 

Requirements; 7.90 and 7.105—

Approval Markings; 75.363—Hazardous 

Conditions; Posting Correction, and 

Recording; 75.371(r), (kk), (ll), (mm), 

(nn), (oo), and (pp)—Mine Ventilation 

Plan, Contents; 75.1901(a)—Diesel Fuel 

Requirements; 75.1904(b)(4)(i)—

Safety Cans; 75.1911(i) and (j)—Fire 

Suppression Systems for DieselPowered Equipment and Fuel 

Transportation Units; 75.1912(h) and

Health Administration, John Rowlett, 

Director, Management Services 

Division, 1100 Wilson Boulevard, Room 

2134, Arlington, VA 22209–3939. 

Commenters are encouraged to send 

their comments on a computer disk, or

section of this notice. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The regulation addresses three major 

areas: diesel engine design and testing 

requirements; safety standards for the 

maintenance and use of this equipment; 

and exhaust gas sampling provisions to 

protect miners’ health. It first requires 

that diesel engines and their critical 

components meet design specifications 

and tests to demonstrate that they are 

explosion-proof and will not cause a fire 

in a mine where methane may 

accumulate. Second, the safety 

requirements for diesel equipment 

include many of the proven features 

required in existing standards for 

electric-powered equipment, such as 

cabs or canopies, methane monitors, 

brakes and lights. The regulation also 

sets safety requirements for fuel 

handling and storage and fire 

suppression. Third, sampling of diesel 

exhaust emissions is required to protect 

miners from overexposure to carbon 

monoxide and nitrogen dioxide 

contained in diesel exhaust. 

II. Desired Focus of Comments 

Currently, the Mine Safety and Health 

Administration (MSHA) is soliciting 

comments concerning the proposed 

extension of the information collection 

requirement related to the approval, 

exhaust gas monitoring and safety 

requirements for the use of dieselpowered equipment in underground 

coal mines. MSHA 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 

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 203 / Friday, October 21, 2005 / Notices 61315 

1Any portion of the closed session consisting 

solely of staff briefings does not fall within the 

Sunshine Act’s definition of the term ‘‘meeting’’

and, therefore, the requirements of the Sunshine 

Act do not apply to such portion of the closed 

session. 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(a)(2) and (b). See also 45 

CFR 1622.2 and 1622.3. 

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 submissions 

of responses. 

A copy of the proposed information 

collection request can be obtained by

For Further Information Contact section 

of this notice, or viewed on the Internet 

by accessing the MSHA home page 

(http://www.msha.gov) and then 

choosing ‘‘Rules and Regs’’ and 

‘‘FedReg. Docs’’. 

III. Current Actions 

Provisions under part 7 provide that 

manufacturers submit applications to 

demonstrate compliance with the test 

and specification requirements. In part 

75, they establish mandatory safety 

standards for diesel-powered equipment 

for use in underground coal mines, 

minimum ventilating air quantities, the 

incorporation of the air quantities into 

the mine ventilation plan, requirements 

for routine sampling of toxic exhaust 

gases, and the use of low sulfur diesel 

fuel. It also provides that diesel 

equipment maintenance be performed 

by adequately trained persons. In 

addition, the regulation includes 

standards for storage, transportation and 

dispensing of diesel fuel, and the 

installation and maintenance of fire 

suppression systems on diesel 

equipment and in permanent 

underground fuel storage facilities.
