is to verify or to correct the North 

American Industry Classification 

System (NAICS) code assigned to 

establishments, there are other 

important purposes of the ARS. The 

ARS seeks accurate mailing and 

physical location addresses of 

establishments as well as geographic 

codes such as county and township 

(independent city, parish, or island in 

some States). 

Once every four years, the SWAs 

survey employers that are covered by 

the State’s UI laws to ensure that State 

records correctly reflect the business 

activities and locations of those 

employers. States send an ARS form to 

approximately one-fourth of their 

businesses each year, surveying the 

entire universe of covered businesses 

over a four-year cycle. The selection 

criterion for surveying establishments is 

based on the nine-digit Federal 

Employer Identification Number of the 

respondent. 

The ARS remains largely a mail 

survey, although steps have been taken 

to reduce the amount of paperwork 

involved in responding to the survey. 

For example, BLS staff review selected, 

large multi-worksite national employers 

rather than surveying these employers 

with traditional ARS forms. This central 

review reduces postage costs incurred 

by the States in sending ARS forms. It 

also reduces respondent burden, as the 

selected employers do not have to 

submit ARS forms. 

Single-worksite employers have been 

identified as potential users of the BLS 

Touchtone Response System (TRS). 

Employers can use the TRS if they meet 

certain conditions and there are no 

changes to specific data elements based 

upon the employer’s review. The TRS 

reduces respondent burden because it is 

quick, free, and convenient. It also 

allows respondents to help BLS reduce 

survey costs because they do not return 

the form in the business reply envelope 

provided. All States are using the TRS 

in conducting the ARS. 

Another initiative to reduce the costs 

associated with the ARS is the use of a 

private contractor to handle various 

administrative aspects of the survey. 

This initiative is called the Centralized 

Annual Refiling Survey (CARS). Under 

CARS, BLS effectively utilizes the 

commercial advantages related to 

printing, stuffing, and mailing large 

volumes of survey forms. 

III. Desired Focus of Comments 

The Bureau of Labor Statistics 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. 

• Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including 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.

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 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–2010–020–C. 

Petitioner: The Wolf Run Mining 

Company, Route 3, Box 146, Philippi, 

West Virginia 26416. 

Mine: Sentinel Mine, MSHA I.D. No. 

46–04168, located in Barbour County, 

West Virginia. 

Regulation Affected: 30 CFR 

75.1909(b)(6) (Non-permissible dieselpowered equipment; design and 

performance requirements). 

Modification Request: The petitioner 

requests a modification of the existing 

standard to permit the Getman 

Roadbuilder, Serial Number 379514 to 

be operated as it was originally 

designed, without front brakes. The 

petitioner states that: (1) The rule does 

not address equipment with more than 

four wheels, specifically the Getman 

Roadbuilder, Model RDG–1504S, with 

six wheels; (2) the machine has dual 

brake systems on the four rear wheels, 

and is designed to prevent loss of 

braking due to a single component 

failure; (3) seventy-four percent (74%) 

of the machines total weight is over the 

four (4) rear wheels; and (4) with the 

weight distribution, brakes on the rear 

of the machine are sufficient to safely 

stop the machine. The petitioner further 

states that: (1) Training will be provided 

to the grader operators to lower the 

moldboard to provide additional 

stopping capability in emergency 

situations and recognize the appropriate 

speeds to use on different roadway 

conditions; and (2) limit the maximum 

speed to 10 miles per hour. The 

petitioner asserts that the proposed 

alternative method will provide no less 

than the same measure of protection at 

the Sentinel Mine than would be 

provided with compliance with the 

existing standard. 

Docket Numbers: M–2010–023–C.
