In applying for these funds, the
organization represented by the undersigned
(the ‘‘applicant’’) agrees to participate in a
random assignment evaluation in which
individuals applying to the program are
randomly assigned to either receive or not to
receive program services. This agreement is
intended to serve as evidence of the

not receiving services.
Additionally, the applicant agrees to

The petitioner requested that workers
of Visteon Corporation Regional

Delivery—Climate Group Division,
Concordia, Missouri be considered
eligible for TAA as a secondary affected

of TAA certified companies to which
the subject firm allegedly supplied

period.
A company official was contacted to
verify whether the subject firm supplied
automotive fuel tanks to the companies
and locations provided by the
petitioner. The company official stated
that Visteon Corporation Regional
Assembly & Manufacturing LLC, Fuel
Delivery—Climate Group Division,
Concordia, Missouri did not directly sell
to these certified locations and that
these specific production facilities were
not customers of the subject firm during
the relevant time period. The
Department conducted a further

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Independent contractors performing
services or construction at mines are
subject to the Federal Mine Safety and
Health Act of 1977. Title 30 CFR 45.4(b)
requires mine operators to maintain a
written summary of information
concerning each independent contractor
present on the mine site. The
information includes the trade name,
business address, and telephone
number; a brief description and the
location on the mine of the work to be
performed; MSHA identification
number, if any; and the contractor’s
business address of record. This
information is required to be provided
for inspection and enforcement
purposes by the mine operator to any
MSHA inspector upon request.
Title 30 CFR 45.3 provides that
independent contractors may
voluntarily obtain a permanent MSHA
identification number by submitting to
MSHA their trade name and business
address, a telephone number, an
estimate of the annual hours worked by
the contractor on mine property for the
previous calendar year, and the address
of record for service of documents upon

the contractor. Independent contractors
performing services or construction at
mines are subject to the Federal Mine
Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine
Act) and are responsible for violations
of the Mine Act committed by them or
their employees.
Although Independent Contractors are
not required to apply for the
identification number, they will be
assigned one by MSHA the first time
they are cited for a violation of the Mine
Act. MSHA uses the information to
issue a permanent MSHA identification
number to the independent contractor.
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 Independent
Contractor Registration and
Identification. 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.
A copy of the proposed information
collection request can be obtained by
contacting the employee listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this notice or

MSHA home page (https://
