SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background: The WIAC is an

Innovation and Opportunity Act. The
WIAC is a Federal Advisory Committee
of workforce and labor market
information experts representing a
broad range of national, State, and local
data and information users and
producers. The purpose of the WIAC is
to provide recommendations to the
Secretary of Labor, working jointly
through the Assistant Secretary for
Employment and Training and the
Commissioner of Labor Statistics, to
address: (1) The evaluation and
improvement of the nationwide
workforce and labor market information
(WLMI) system and statewide systems
that comprise the nationwide system;
and (2) how the Department and the
States will cooperate in the management
of those systems. These systems include
programs to produce employmentrelated statistics and State and local
workforce and labor market information.
The WIAC was established in
accordance with provisions of the
Federal Advisory Committee Act
(FACA), as amended (5 U.S.C. App.)
and will act in accordance with the
applicable provisions of FACA and its
implementing regulation at 41 CFR 102–

Section 308 of the Workforce Innovation
and Opportunity Act of 2014 (WIOA)
(Pub. L. 113–128), which amends

by: (1) Studying workforce and labor

to inform employment, skills training,

how the workforce and labor market
information system can best support
workforce development, planning, and
program development. Additional
information is available at
www.doleta.gov/wioa/wiac/.
Purpose: The WIAC is currently in the
process of identifying and reviewing
issues and aspects of the WLMI system
and statewide systems that comprise the
nationwide system and how the
Department and the States will
cooperate in the management of those
systems. As part of this process, the
Advisory Council meets to gather
information and to engage in
deliberative and planning activities to
facilitate the development and provision
of its recommendations to the Secretary
in a timely manner.
Agenda: Beginning at 2:00 p.m. on
February 8, 2017, the Advisory Council
will briefly review the minutes of the
previous meeting held January 11, 2017.
The Advisory Council will then discuss
the informational report it is creating to
document the current status of the
WLMI systems from a national and state
perspective for the Secretary of Labor.
The goal of this discussion is the formal
approval of the informational report for
submission to the Secretary of Labor.
The Advisory Council will open the
floor for public comment once the
discussion of the informational report is
completed, which is expected to be 3:00
p.m. EST; however, that time may
change at the WIAC chair’s discretion.
Once the informational report
discussion, the public comment period,
and discussion of next steps and new
business has concluded, the meeting

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Background
Section 101(c) of the Federal Mine
Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine
Act) allows the mine operator or
representative of miners to file a
petition to modify the application of any
mandatory safety standard to a coal or
other mine if the Secretary of Labor
determines that:
1. An alternative method of achieving
the result of such standard exists which
will at all times guarantee no less than
the same measure of protection afforded
the miners of such mine by such
standard; or
2. That the application of such
standard to such mine will result in a
PO 00000
Frm 00102
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
95199
diminution of safety to the miners in
such mine.
In addition, the regulations at 30 CFR
44.10 and 44.11 establish the
requirements and procedures for filing
petitions for modification.
II. Petitions for Modification
Docket Number: M–2016–008–M.
Petitioner: Martin Marietta Materials,
Inc., 11405 N. Pennsylvania St., Suite
250, Carmel, Indiana 46032.
Mine: Kokomo Mine, MSHA I.D. No.
12–02105, located in Howard County,
Indiana.
Regulation Affected: 30 CFR 49.2(c)
(Availability of mine rescue teams).
Modification Request: The petitioner
requests a modification of the existing
standard for the Martin Marietta,
Indiana District Mine Rescue Team
stationed at the Kokomo Mine, to use
two additional firefighters from the
Kokomo Fire Department located in
Howard County, Indiana. The two
firefighters are in addition to the
proposed team of five experienced
miners from the Kokomo mine, North
Indianapolis mine, Noblesville Stone
mine and Kentucky Avenue mine.
The petitioner states that:
(1) The firefighters are in close
proximity to the mine, and will receive
the required MSHA training.
(2) The members of the fire
department have had extensive training
in firefighting, evacuation and rescue.
(3) The additional firefighters will
receive underground training and
become familiar with the mines where
they will be providing mine rescue
service. The team will have more rescue
training than existing 30 CFR 49.8
requires and will train underground
with apparatus at each mine where they
provide a service.
The petitioner asserts that the
alternative method will at all times
provide the same measure of protection
as the existing standard.

Director, Office of Standards, Regulations,
