Each of the local sites that participated
in the study operated all three of these
ITA approaches. Local customers that
were determined eligible for an ITA
were randomly assigned to one of the
approaches.
The evaluation of the ITA experiment
includes an analysis of the
implementation and operation of the
three ITA approaches, based on data
collected during three rounds of visits to
the six sites participating in the
experiment. The evaluation also
consists of an analysis of customer
outcomes and the returns on the
investment in training. This analysis
will focus on the differences in
customer outcomes, such as training
choices, employment, and earnings,
generated by the three ITA approaches.
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: This is a notice
to extend the collection period that is
currently approved by OMB (1205–0446
expires October 31, 2006).
The follow-up survey will collect data

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Section 77.1101(a) requires operators
of surface coal mines and surface work
areas of underground coal mines to
establish and keep current a specific
escape and evacuation plan to be
followed in the event of a fire.
Section 77.1101(b) requires that all
employees be instructed in current
escape and evacuation plans, fire alarm
signals, and applicable procedures to be
followed in case of fire. The training
and record keeping requirements
associated with this standard are
addressed under OMB No. 1219–0070
(Certificate of Training, MSHA Form
5000–23).
Section 77.1101(c)requires escape and
evacuation plans to include the
designation and proper maintenance of
an adequate means for exiting areas
where persons are required to work or
travel including buildings, equipment,
and areas where persons normally
congregate during the work shift.
While escape and evacuation plans
are not subject to approval by MSHA
district managers, MSHA inspectors
evaluate the adequacy of the plans
during their inspections of surface coal
