SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: MSHA grantees are required by DOL 
regulations to submit project and final reports. Grantees are also 
required to submit final reports no later than 90 days after the end of 
the grant period. Technical Project Reports: A grantee submits a 
technical project report to MSHA no later than 30 days after quarterly 
deadlines. Technical project reports provide both quantitative and 
qualitative information and a narrative assessment of performance for 
the preceding three-month period. This includes the current grant 
progress against the overall grant goals. Between reporting dates, the 
grantee informs MSHA of significant developments or problems affecting 
the organization's ability to accomplish the work. Final Reports: At 
the end of the grant period, each grantee provides a project summary of 
its technical project reports, an evaluation report, and a close-out 
financial report. These final reports are due no later than 90 days 
after the end of the 12-month performance period. For additional 
substantive information about this ICR, see the related notice 
published in the Federal Register on December 18, 2020 (85 FR 82522).
    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.
