e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses.
Agency: Mine Safety and Health
Administration.
Type of Review: Extension without
change of currently approved collection.
Title of Collection: Record of Mine
Closures, Opening and Reopening of
Mines.
OMB Control Number: 1219–0073.
Form Number: None.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
1,453.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 14,572.
Estimated Total Annual Cost Burden:
$18,221,257.
Affected Public: Business or other for
profits (underground and surface coal
mines).
Description: The Department’s
regulations at 30 CFR 75.372, 75.373,
75.1200, 75.1200–1, 75.1201, 75.1202,
75.1202–1, 75.1203, 75.1204, 75.1204–1,
75.1721, 77.1200, 77.1201, 77.1202
contain requirements regarding the
preparation and maintenance of
accurate and up-to-date mine maps as
well as requirements with respect to
reporting to MSHA the opening or
closing of mines. The information is
used by operators of coal mines for
effective and safe mine planning and
when approaching abandoned
underground mines or the mined-out
and inaccessible areas of an active
underground or surface mine. The
abandoned mine or inaccessible areas of
an active mine could be flooded with
water or contain explosive amounts of
methane or harmful gases. If the
operator were to mine into such an area,
unaware of the hazards, miners could be
killed or seriously injured. The
requirements to provide MSHA with
certified underground mine maps
annually, access for inspection of
surface mine maps and the filing of
mine closure maps provide essential
information for MSHA to plan and
conduct mandatory inspections and
review and approve mandatory mine
plans and permits. The required
notifications prior to opening new
mines and reopening abandoned mines
provide information for the same
purpose. Accurate and up-to-date mine
maps are essential to the engineering
plans and safe operation of mines and
to the health and safety of the miners,
including in mine rescue and/or
firefighting situations. In addition, the
mine closure maps also provide
information essential to protecting
public safety in the future land uses of
the abandoned mine sites. For
additional information, see related
notice published at Vol. 73 FR 64985 on
October 31, 2008.

Coal Mines.

Description: The information
collection requirements contained in the
Department’s standards at 30 CFR Part
75, Safety Requirements for the Use of
Diesel-Powered Equipment in

protect miners’ health. The records are
required to document that essential
testing and maintenance of the
equipment is done regularly and by
qualified persons. The recordkeeping
requirements are necessary not only to
assist MSHA in determining
compliance, but also to provide useful
information to mine operators and
miners’ representatives about the
performance of diesel engines and any
deterioration or defective condition
needing corrective action. For
additional information, see related
notice published at Vol. 73 FR 64986 on

Section 246 of the Trade Act of 1974 (26
U.S.C. 2813), as amended, the
Department of Labor issued a
Certification of Eligibility to Apply for
Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade Adjustment
Assistance on December 3, 2008,
applicable to workers of Alcoa, Inc.,
U.S. Primary Metals Division, Rockdale,
Texas. The notice was published in the
Federal Register on December 18, 2008
(73 FR 77067).
At the request of the State agency, the
Department reviewed the certification
for workers of the subject firm. The
workers are engaged in the production
of aluminum.
New information shows that workers
leased from Advance Electric, Applied,
Bramtex, Prince Foods, Concentra
Medical, Fluor, Hagameyer, T&K,
Veolia, WSI, Zachary, GCA Services,
RCI, Commercial Contracting, Southern
Global, Mine Services, Crocker, Vescom,
Aramark, Tri State, and Magnum
Engineering were employed on-site at
the Rockdale, Texas location of Alcoa,
Inc., U.S. Primary Metals Division. The
Department has determined that these
workers were sufficiently under the
control of Alcoa, Inc., U.S. Primary
Metals Division to be considered leased
workers.
Based on these findings, the
Department is amending this
certification to include workers leased
from the above mentioned firms
working on-site at the Rockdale, Texas
location of the subject firm.
The intent of the Department’s
certification is to include all workers
employed at Alcoa, Inc., U.S. Primary
Metals Division, Rockdale, Texas, who
were adversely affected by a shift in
production of aluminum to Canada.
The amended notice applicable to
TA–W–64,380 is hereby issued as
follows:
All workers of Alcoa, Inc., U.S. Primary
Metals Division, including on-site leased
workers of Advance Electric, Applied,
Bramtex, Prince Foods, Concentra Medical,
Fluor, Hagameyer, T&K, Veolia, WSI,
Zachary, GCA Services, RCI, Commercial
Contracting, Southern Global, Mine Services,
Crocker, Vescom, Aramark, Tri State and
Magnum Engineering, Rockdale, Texas, who
became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after November 6, 2007
through December 3, 2010, are eligible to
apply for adjustment assistance under
Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, and are
also eligible to apply for alternative trade
adjustment assistance under Section 246 of
the Trade Act of 1974.
