III. Current Actions
§ 77.1901 requires operators to
conduct examinations of slope and shaft
areas for hazardous conditions,
including tests for methane and oxygen
deficiency, within 90 minutes before
each shift, once during each shift, and
before and after blasting. The surface
area surrounding each slope and shaft is
also required to be inspected for
hazards. § 77.1901 also requires that
records be kept of the results of the
inspections.
Type of Review: Extension.
Agency: Mine Safety and Health
Administration.
Title: Records of Preshift and Onshift
Inspections of Slope and Shaft Areas.
OMB Number: 1219–0082.
Recordkeeping: The standard also
requires that a record be kept of the
results of the inspections. The record
includes a description of any hazardous
condition found and the corrective
action taken to abate it. The record is
necessary to ensure that the inspections
and tests are conducted in a timely
fashion and that corrective action is
taken when hazardous conditions are

working environment for the slope and
shaft sinking employees. The record is
maintained at the mine site for the
duration of the operation.

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Employment and Training
Administration
Trade Adjustment Assistance
Program; Designation of Certifying
Officers
AGENCY: Employment and Training
Administration; Labor.
ACTION: Notice of designation of
certifying officers.
SUMMARY: The trade adjustment
assistance (TAA) program operates
under the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended, to provide assistance to
domestic workers adversely affected in
their employment by certain types of
foreign trade. The Trade and
Globalization Adjustment Assistance
Act of 2009 amended the Trade Act of
1974, expanded TAA coverage to more
workers and firms, including workers
and firms in the service sector; made
benefits available to workers whose jobs
have been off-shored to any country, as
opposed to only covering certain shifts
in production; and improved workers’
training opportunities and opportunities
for health insurance coverage. The new
law also included additional funding for
employment services and case
management, extended income support,
increased funding for training, and
provided for earlier access to training.
Workers become eligible for program
benefits only if the worker group is
certified under the Act as eligible to
apply for adjustment assistance. From
time to time the agency issues an Order
designating or redesignating officials of
the agency authorized to act as
certifying officers, responsible for
reviewing and signing adjustment
assistance determinations. Employment
and Training Order No. 1–09 was issued
to revise the listing of officials
designated as certifying officers,
superseding the previous Order. The
Employment and Training Order No. 1–
09 is published below.
