Certifications (CCs) and processing of

employer requests for Certifications as a

result of individuals’ bearing SESAs or

participating agencies’ generated CCs,

help streamline SESAs verification

mandated activities, aid and expedite

the preparation of the quarterly reports,

and provide a significant source of

information for the Secretary’s Annual

Report to Congress on the WOTC

program. The data recorded through the

use of these forms will also help in the

preparation of an annual report to the

Committee House Ways and Means of

the U.S. House of Representatives.

II. Review Focus: The Department of

Labor is particularly interested in

comments which:

• 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; 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.

III. Current Actions:

• The Work Opportunity and

Welfare-to-Work Tax Credits’ reporting

and administrative forms expire June

30, 2001. P.L. 106–170 reauthorized

these two tax credits through December

31, 2001. Because the Congress

reauthorizes these tax credits

continuously for periods that range

between one and three years, we are

requesting a 2-year expiration date from

approval date to continue the existing

collection of information.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

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 prohibits 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. The Mine Act and the

standard further require that the mine

operator submit the program plan to

MSHA for approval. The purpose of the

program is to insure that a fire or

explosion hazard does not occur.

II. Desired Focus of Comments

Currently, the Mine Safety and Health

Administration (MSHA) is soliciting

comments concerning the proposed

extension of the information collection

related to the Program to Prevent

Smoking in Hazardous Areas. MSHA is

particularly interested in comments

which:

• 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; 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 may be viewed on the

Internet by accessing the MSHA Home

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

selecting ‘‘Statutory and Regulatory

Information’’ then ‘‘Paperwork

Reduction Act Submissions (http://

www.msha.gov/regspwork.htm)’’, or by

contacting the employee listed above in

the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT

section of this notice for a hard copy.

III. Current Actions

It is necessary to continue this

paperwork burden in order to ensure

that mine operators continue to submit

smoking materials search plans and that

miners are continually protected from

the hazards of igniting mine explosions

or mine fires by the open flames of

cigarette lighters and matches and

smoldering tobacco products. Smoking

continues to be a prevalent habit of

underground coal miners when off work

or when engaged in surface activities.

Both the accidental or intentional

carrying of smoking materials

underground and the deliberate

disregard for the safety of other miners

can only be mitigated by the systematic

programs to prohibit the carrying and

use of smoking materials underground

as required by 30 CFR 75.1702.
