SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The DOL, 

as part of continuing efforts to reduce 

paperwork and respondent burden, 

conducts a pre-clearance consultation 

program to provide the general public 

and Federal agencies an opportunity to 

comment on proposed and/or 

continuing collections of information 

before submitting them to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for final 

approval. This program helps to ensure 

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 can be properly assessed. 

This ICR seeks to extend PRA 

authorization for the Nondiscrimination 

Compliance Information Reporting 

information collection that provides 

data used to help ensure a recipient of 

certain DOL Federal financial assistance 

programs does not discriminate in the 

administration, management, or 

operation of programs and activities. 

Information collections covered by this 

ICR include (1) a grant applicant 

providing assurance that the applicant 

is aware of and, as a condition of receipt 

of Federal financial assistance, agrees to 

comply with the assurance 

requirements; (2) a DOL funds recipient 

maintaining a record of EO 

characteristics data and a log of any EO 

complaints for activities under an 

applicable DOL funded program; (3) a 

person who believes a relevant EO 

requirement may have been violated 

filing a complaint with either the funds 

recipient or with the DOL Civil Rights 

Center; (4) a State periodically filing a 

plan outlining administrative methods 

the State will use to ensure funds are 

not used in a discriminatory manner; 

and (5) a DOL funds recipient posting 

required notices. 

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 it is 

approved by the OMB under the PRA 

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 Control Number. See 5 

CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL 

obtains OMB approval for this 

information collection under Control 

Number 1225–0077. 

Interested parties are encouraged to 

provide comments to the contact shown 

in the ADDRESSES section. Comments 

must be written to receive 

consideration. In order to help ensure 

appropriate consideration, comments 

should mention Control Number 1225– 

0077. A commenter may request oral 

confirmation that a submission has been 

received by contacting the individual 

listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT section of this notice. No other 

method will be used to acknowledge the 

receipt of a comment.

this notice will be a matter of the public 

record for this ICR and posted on the

comments. 

The DOL is particularly interested in

practical utility; 

• Evaluate the accuracy of the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR 

seeks to extend PRA authority for the 

Rock Burst Control Plan, (Pertains to 

Underground Metal/Nonmetal Mines) 

information collection requirements 

codified in regulations 30 CFR 57.3461, 

which requires an underground metal or 

nonmetal mine operator to develop a 

rock burst plan within ninety (90) days 

after a rock burst has been experienced. 

This information is used for work 

assignments to ensure miner safety and 

to schedule correction work. Despite 

having only one (1) respondent in any 

given year, the MSHA must maintain 

this information collection, as it is part 

of a rule of general applicability. See 5 

CFR 1320.3(c)(4)(i). Federal Mine Safety 

and Health Act of 1977 sections 101(a) 

and 103(h) authorize this information 

collection. See 30 U.S.C. 811(a), 813(h). 

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 it is 

approved by the OMB under the PRA 

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 Control Number. See 5 

CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL 

obtains OMB approval for this 

information collection under Control 

Number 1219–0097. 

OMB authorization for an ICR cannot 

be for more than three (3) years without 

renewal, and the current approval for 

this collection is scheduled to expire on 

August 31, 2017. The DOL seeks to 

extend PRA authorization for this 

information collection for three (3) more 

years, without any change to existing 

requirements. The DOL notes that 

existing information collection 

requirements submitted to the OMB 

receive a month-to-month extension 

while they undergo review. For 

additional substantive information 

about this ICR, see the related notice 

published in the Federal Register on 

April 12, 1017 (82 FR 17694. 

Interested parties are encouraged to 

send comments to the OMB, Office of 

Information and Regulatory Affairs at 

the address shown in the ADDRESSES

section within thirty (30) days of 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register. In order to help ensure 

appropriate consideration, comments
