efficiently close out reviews where there
are no indicators of systemic
discrimination present. Under ACM
procedures, only cases producing
indicators of potential systemic
discrimination (defined as potential
affected classes of 10 or more
applicants/workers) should proceed
beyond the desk audit phase. These
ACM procedures limit the amount of
burden on Federal contractors to supply
additional compensation information
during the Desk Audit stage of their
review.
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: OFCCP seeks a
three-year extension to the approval of
the Supply and Service Scheduling
Letter. There is no change in the
substance or method of collection since
the last OMB approval. OFCCP revised
the burden hour estimates associated
with the Supply and Service Scheduling
letter based on the responses to a CY
2004 Compensation Questionnaire
report submitted to OMB as part of the
2004 Information Collection Request
extension.
Type of Review: Extension.
Agency: Employment Standards
Administration.
Title: OFCCP Recordkeeping and
Reporting Requirements, Supply and
Service.
OMB Number: 1215–0072.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit, not-for-profit institutions.
Total Annual responses: 83,462.
Frequency: Annually.
Average Time per response: 110
hours.
Estimated Total Burden Hours:
9,223,921.
Total Burden Cost (capital/startup):

[Docket No. M–2005–051–C]
Bear Gap Coal Company, P.O. Box 64,
Spring Glen, Pennsylvania 17978 has
filed a petition to modify the
application of 30 CFR 75.1100–2(a)(2)
(Quantity and location of firefighting

requests a modification of the existing
standard to permit the use of portable
fire extinguishers only to replace
existing requirements where rock dust,

petitioner would instead operate its man
cage or steel gunboat with secondary
safety connections securely fastened
around the gunboat, and to the hoisting
rope above the main connecting device,
and use hoisting ropes with a factor of
safety in excess of the 4 to 8 to 1 as
suggested in the American Standards
Specifications for the use of wire ropes

9. Bear Gap Coal Company
[Docket No. M–2005–053–C]
Bear Gap Coal Company, P.O. Box 64,

application of 30 CFR 75.335
(Construction of seals) to its #6 Slope
Mine (MSHA I.D. No. 36–09296) located

petitioner proposes constructing seals
from wooden materials of moderate size
and weight; designing the seals to
withstand a static horizontal pressure in
the range of 10 psi; and installing a
sampling tube only in the monkey
(higher elevation) seal. The petitioner
asserts that because of the pitch of
anthracite veins, concrete blocks are
difficult to use and expose miners to
safety hazards during transport. The
petitioner cites the low level of
explosibility of anthracite coal dust and
the minimal potential for either an
accumulation of methane in previously
mined pitching veins or an ignition
source in the gob area as justification for
the proposed 10 psi design criterion.
The petitioner asserts that the proposed
alternative method would provide at
least the same measure of protection as
the existing standard.

(Escapeway; bituminous and lignite
mines) to its Air Quality #1 Mine
(MSHA I.D. No. 12–02010) located in
Knox County, Indiana. The petitioner
requests a modification of the existing
standard to permit the continued use of
the existing Escapeway from Unit #1
(1L/MS) number #1 entry at number 56
crosscut to the Main South (number #7
entry number 61 crosscut) intake
Escapeway. The petitioner asserts that
the proposed alternative method would
provide at least the same measure of
protection as the existing standard.
