ensure the appropriate consideration, 

comments should reference the 

applicable OMB Control Number (see 

below). 

The OMB is particularly interested in 

comments which: 

(1) 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; 

(2) 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; 

(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

(4) 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. 

Agency: Mine Safety and Health 

Administration. 

Type of Review: Extension without 

change of a currently approved 

collection. 

Title of Collection: Program to Prevent 

Smoking Underground and in 

Hazardous Surface Areas. 

OMB Control Number: 1219–0041. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit. 

Total Estimated Number of 

Respondents: 144. 

Total Number of Responses: 144. 

Total Estimated Annual Burden 

Hours: 72. 

Total Estimated Annual Cost Burden 

(operating/maintaining): $6,098.40. 

Description: Section 317(c) of the 

Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 

1977 (Mine Act), 30 U.S.C. 877(c), and 

30 CFR 75.1702 prohibit persons from 

smoking or carrying smoking materials 

underground or in places where there is 

a fire or explosion hazard. Under the 

Mine Act and § 75.1702, coal mine 

operators are required to develop 

programs to prevent persons from 

carrying smoking materials, matches, or 

lighters underground and to prevent 

smoking in hazardous areas, such as in 

or around oil houses, explosives 

magazines, etc. Section 75.1702–1 

requires that the mine operator submit 

the program for searching miners for 

smoking materials to MSHA for 

approval. The purpose of the program is 

to ensure that a fire or explosion hazard 

does not occur. Section 103(h) of the 

Mine Act, 30 U.S.C. 813, authorizes 

MSHA to collect information necessary 

to carry out its duty in protecting the 

safety and health of miners. For 

additional information, see related 

notice published in the Federal Register 

on June 24, 2010, (Vol. 75 page 36120).

Title of Collection: Access to 

Employee Exposure and Medical 

Records (29 CFR 1910.1020)

(Excludes Hourly Wage Costs): $0. 

Description: Under the authority 

granted by the Occupational Safety and 

Health Act of 1970, OSHA published a 

health regulation governing access to 

worker exposure monitoring data and 

medical records. This regulation does 

not require employers to collect any 

information or to establish any new 

systems of records. Rather, it requires 

that employers provide workers, their 

designated representatives, and OSHA 

with access to worker exposure 

monitoring and medical records, and 

any analyses resulting from these 

records that employers must maintain 

under OSHA’s toxic chemical and 

harmful physical agent standards. In 

this regard, the regulation specifies 

requirements for record access, record 

retention, worker information, trade 

secret management, and record transfer. 

Accordingly, the Agency attributes the 

burden hours and costs associated with 

exposure monitoring and measurement, 

medical surveillance, and the other 

activities required to generate the data 

governed by the regulation to the health 

standards that specify these activities; 

therefore, OSHA did not include these 

burden hours and costs in the ICR. 

Access to exposure and medical 

information enables workers and their 


jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES
52980 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 167 / Monday, August 30, 2010 / Notices 

designated representatives to become 

directly involved in identifying and 

controlling occupational health hazards, 

as well as managing and preventing 

occupationally-related health 

impairment and disease. Providing the 

Agency with access to the records 

permits it to ascertain whether or not 

employers are complying with the 

regulation, as well as the recordkeeping 

requirements of its other health 

standards; therefore, OSHA access 

provides additional assurance that 

workers and their designated 

representative are able to obtain the data 

they need to conduct their analyses. 

For additional information, see the 

related 60-day preclearance notice 

published in the Federal Register, April 

26, 2010, (Vol. 75, page 21662).

[TA–W–73,376] 

Wacker Neuson Corporation, a 

Subsidiary of Wacker Neuson SE, 

Menomonee Falls, WI; Notice of 

Affirmative Determination Regarding 

Application for Reconsideration 

By application dated August 17, 2010, 

a company official requested 

administrative reconsideration of the 

affirmative determination regarding 

workers’ eligibility to apply for Trade 

Adjustment Assistance (TAA) 

applicable to workers and former 

workers of the subject firm. The 

certification of eligibility was issued on 

July 30, 2010. The Notice of 

determination was published in the 

Federal Register on August 13, 2010 (75 

FR 49530). The workers produce a 

variety of construction equipment and 

are not separately identifiable by 

product line. 

The initial investigation resulted in a 

positive determination based on the 

findings that a significant proportion or 

number of the workers at the subject 

firm were totally or partially separated, 

or threatened with such separation, that 

the subject firm has shifted to a foreign 

country the production of articles like or 

directly competitive with the 

construction equipment produced by 

the workers, and that this shift of 

production contributed importantly to 

worker group separations at the subject 

firm. 

In the request for reconsideration, the 

company official states that the shift 

abroad did not contribute importantly to 

worker separations at the subject firm 

because the article shifted required only 

a few workers and that once the work 

was shifted abroad, the workers were 

reassigned to other product lines. The 

company official further states that the 

separated workers have been recalled to 

work because the production of the 

other lines have increased despite the 

shift of production of the one line of 

construction equipment to the 

Philippines. 

The Department has carefully 

reviewed the request for reconsideration 

and the existing record, and has 

determined that the Department will 

conduct further investigation to
