SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The ETA–5130, Benefit Appeals
Report, contains information on the
number of unemployment insurance
appeals and the resultant decisions
classified by program, appeals level,
cases filed and disposed of (workflow),
and decisions by level, appellant, and
issue. The data on this report are used
by the Department of Labor to monitor
the benefit appeals process in the State
Workforce Agencies (SWAs) and to
develop any needed plans for remedial
action. The data are also needed for
workload forecasts and to determine
administrative funding. If this
information were not available,
developing problems might not be
discovered early enough to allow for
timely solutions and avoidance of time
consuming and costly corrective action.

Section
188 of the Consolidated Farm and Rural
Development Act of 1972, as established
under 29 CFR part 75, authorizes the
United States Department of Agriculture
to make or guarantee loans or grants to
finance industrial and business
activities in rural areas. The Secretary of
Labor must review the application for
financial assistance for the purpose of
certifying to the Secretary of Agriculture
that the assistance is not calculated, or
likely, to result in: (a) A transfer of any
employment or business activity from
one area to another by the loan
applicant’s business operation; or, (b)
An increase in the production of goods,
materials, services, or facilities in an
area where there is not sufficient
demand to employ the efficient capacity
of existing competitive enterprises
unless the financial assistance will not
have an adverse impact on existing
competitive enterprises in the area. The
Employment and Training
Administration within the Department
of Labor is responsible for the review
and certification process. Comments
should address the two bases for
certification and, if possible, provide
data to assist in the analysis of these
issues.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
MSHA currently uses qualification
and certification information on miners
who have satisfactorily completed
required training and examinations to
issue cards indicating the licensure of
that miner. MSHA inspectors, during
inspections, review these cards to
determine compliance with regulations.
In addition, miners, when applying for
a job, use these cards as a part of their
VerDate Aug<31>2005
22:57 Jun 29, 2007
Jkt 211001
resumes. Mine operators needing people
with specific certifications,
qualifications and approvals hire and
assign work relying on the information
provided on the cards.
The information is also used to
determine mine operators’ compliance
with approved training plans and to
monitor safety-training programs and
during investigations including accident
and legal proceedings to revoke the
qualifications/certifications and
approvals of individuals based on a
fraudulent reporting of training or
performance. Upon request, MSHA
furnishes information on specific
miners to mine operators and
representatives of miners.
The information also is used to verify
whether individuals who complete and
sign dust data cards that accompany
dust samples collected fulfill the
sampling requirements of 30 CFR part
70, 71 or 90. It also enables the Agency
to track underground miners who show
early evidence of the development of
pneumoconiosis and have exercised
their option to work in a low dust
environment under 30 CFR part 90 to
determine if they have been adequately
sampled by mine operators and are in
compliance with federal dust standards.
II. Desired Focus of Comments
Currently, the Mine Safety and Health
Administration (MSHA) is soliciting
comments concerning the proposed
extension of the information collection
requirement related to conversion of
Social Security Numbers to MSHA
Individual Identification Numbers.
MSHA is particularly interested in
comments that:
* Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of MSHA’s
functions, including whether the
information has practical utility;
* Evaluate the accuracy of MSHA’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used;
* Suggest methods to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and
* Address 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)to minimize
the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond.

collection request can be obtained by

viewed on the internet by accessing the
MSHA home page (https://
www.msha.gov./) and selecting ‘‘Rules
and Regs’’, then selecting ‘‘Fed Reg
Docs.’’
III. Current Actions
The Mine Safety and Health
Administration (MSHA) issues
certifications, qualifications and
approvals (licenses) to the nation’s
miners to conduct specific work within
the mines. Currently, Social Security
Numbers (SSNs) are utilized for tracking
purposes within MSHA’s data
processing systems, in the absence of
other reliable identification systems. In
an effort to reduce use of SSNs both by
MSHA and third parties, MSHA is
changing the process to one in which
miners requiring a license or benefit
from MSHA will register for an ‘‘MSHA
Individual Identification Number’’
(MIIN). This unique number will be
used in place of individual SSNs for all
licensing requirements within MSHA.
This new process will allow MSHA to
discontinue the past practice of
individuals supplying their personally
identifiable information to instructors,
states or other entities, which in turn
supply that information to MSHA.
Miners needing a license or benefit from
MSHA will need to register only one
time to obtain their MIINs from MSHA.
Type of Review: New Collection.
Agency: Mine Safety and Health
Administration.
Title: Qualification/Certification
Program Request for MSHA Individual
Identification Number (MIIN).
OMB Number: 1219–0NEW.
Recordkeeping: 3 years.
Frequency: On Occasion.
Affected Public: Business or other for
profit.
Total Respondents: 40,000 first year;
10,000 thereafter.
Total Responses: 40,000 first year;
10,000 thereafter.
Estimated Total Burden Hours: 3,332
first year; 2,083 second year; 833
thereafter.
Total Burden Cost (capital/startup):
$10,881 first year.
Total Burden Cost (operating/
maintaining): $7,293 second year;
$2,900 thereafter.
Comments submitted in response to
this notice will be summarized and/or
included in the request for Office of
Management and Budget approval of the
information collection request; they will
also become a matter of public record.
