Administration, Room 709A, 4015

22203–1984. Ms. Teaster can be reached

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.

NATIONAL ARCHIVES AND RECORDS

ADMINISTRATION

Records Schedules; Availability and

Request for Comments

AGENCY: National Archives and Records

Administration (NARA).

Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 46 / Thursday, March 8, 2001 / Notices 13977

ACTION: Notice of availability of

proposed records schedules; request for

comments.

SUMMARY: The National Archives and

Records Administration (NARA)

publishes notice at least once monthly

of certain Federal agency requests for

records disposition authority (records

schedules). Once approved by NARA,

records schedules provide mandatory

instructions on what happens to records

when no longer needed for current

Government business. They authorize

the preservation of records of

continuing value in the National

Archives of the United States and the

destruction, after a specified period, of

records lacking administrative, legal,

research, or other value. Notice is

published for records schedules in

which agencies propose to destroy

records not previously authorized for

disposal or reduce the retention period

of records already authorized for

disposal. NARA invites public

comments on such records schedules, as

required by 44 U.S.C. 3303a(a).

DATES: Requests for copies must be

received in writing on or before April

23, 2001. Once the appraisal of the

records is completed, NARA will send

a copy of the schedule. NARA staff

usually prepare appraisal

memorandums that contain additional

information concerning the records

covered by a proposed schedule. These,

too, may be requested and will be

provided once the appraisal is

completed. Requesters will be given 30

days to submit comments.

ADDRESSES: To request a copy of any

records schedule identified in this

notice, write to the Life Cycle

Management Division (NWML),

National Archives and Records

Administration (NARA), 8601 Adelphi

Road, College Park, MD 20740–6001.

Requests also may be transmitted by

FAX to 301–713–6852 or by e-mail to

records.mgt@arch2.nara.gov. Requesters

must cite the control number, which

appears in parentheses after the name of

the agency which submitted the

schedule, and must provide a mailing

address. Those who desire appraisal

reports should so indicate in their

request.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Marie Allen, Director, Life Cycle

Management Division (NWML),

National Archives and Records

Administration, 8601 Adelphi Road,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Each year

Federal agencies create billions of

records on paper, film, magnetic tape,

and other media. To control this

accumulation, agency records managers

prepare schedules proposing retention

periods for records and submit these

schedules for NARA’s approval, using

the Standard Form (SF) 115, Request for

Records Disposition Authority. These

schedules provide for the timely transfer

into the National Archives of

historically valuable records and

authorize the disposal of all other

records after the agency no longer needs

them to conduct its business. Some

schedules are comprehensive and cover

all the records of an agency or one of its

major subdivisions. Most schedules,

however, cover records of only one

office or program or a few series of

records. Many of these update

previously approved schedules, and

some include records proposed as

permanent.

No Federal records are authorized for

destruction without the approval of the

Archivist of the United States. This

approval is granted only after a

thorough consideration of their

administrative use by the agency of

origin, the rights of the Government and

of private persons directly affected by

the Government’s activities, and

whether or not they have historical or

other value.

Besides identifying the Federal

agencies and any subdivisions

requesting disposition authority, this

public notice lists the organizational

unit(s) accumulating the records or

indicates agency-wide applicability in

the case of schedules that cover records

that may be accumulated throughout an

agency. This notice provides the control

number assigned to each schedule, the

total number of schedule items, and the

number of temporary items (the records

proposed for destruction). It also

includes a brief description of the

temporary records. The records

schedule itself contains a full

description of the records at the file unit

level as well as their disposition. If

NARA staff has prepared an appraisal

memorandum for the schedule, it too

includes information about the records.

Further information about the

disposition process is available on

request.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title of Collection: Medical Clearance

Process for Deployment to the Polar

Regions.

OMB Control No.: 3145–NEW.

Abstract:

A. Proposed Project

All individuals who anticipate

deploying to Antarctica and to certain

regions of the Arctic under the auspices

of the National Science Foundation’s

Office of Polar Programs are required to

take and pass a rigorous physical

examination prior to deploying. The

physical examination includes a

medical history, medical examination, a

dental examination and for those

persons planning to winter over in

Antarctica a psychological examination

is also required. The requirement for

this determination of physical status for

Antarctic deployment is found in 42

U.S.C. 1870 (Authority) and 45 CFR 675,

unless otherwise noted. This part sets

forth the procedures for medical

screening to determine whether

candidates for participation in the

United States Antarctic Program (USAP)

are physically qualified and

psychologically adapted for assignment

or travel to Antarctica. Medical

screening examinations are necessary to

determine the presence of any physical

or psychological conditions that would

threaten the health or safety of the

candidate or other polar participants or

that could not be effectively treated by

the limited medical care capabilities at

the Arctic and Antarctic stations.

(b) Presidential Memorandum No.

6646 (February 5, 1982) (available from

the National Science Foundation, Office

of Polar Programs, room 755, 4201

Wilson Blvd., Arlington, VA 22230) sets

forth the National Science Foundation’s

overall management responsibilities for

the entire United States national

program in Antarctica.

(c) The Arctic Research and Policy

Act, As Amended (Public Law 98–373,
