A. Purpose
BILLING CODE 6750–01–S
Property, as used in Part 45, means all
property, both real and personal. It
includes facilities, material, special
tooling, special test equipment, and
agency-peculiar property. Government
property includes both Governmentfurnished property and contractoracquired property.
Contractors are required to establish
and maintain a property system that
will control, protect, preserve, and
maintain all Government property
because the contractor is responsible
and accountable for all Government
property under the provisions of the
contract including property located with
subcontractors. This clearance covers
the following requirements:
(a) FAR 45.606–1 requires a contractor
to submit inventory schedules.
(b) FAR 45.606–3(a) requires a
contractor to correct and resubmit
inventory schedules as necessary.
(c) FAR 52.245–1(f)(1)(ii) requires
contractors to receive, record, identify
and manage Government property.
(d) FAR 52.245–1(f)(1)(iii) requires
contractors to create and maintain
records of all Government property
accountable to the contract.
(e) FAR 52.245–1(f)(1)(iv) requires
contractors to periodically perform,
record, and report physical inventories
during contract performance.
(f) FAR 52.245–1(f)(1)(vi) requires
contractors to have a process to create
and provide reports.
(g) FAR 52.245–1(f)(1)(viii) requires
contractors to promptly disclose and
report Government Property in its
possession that is excess to contract
performance.
(h) FAR 52.245–1(f)(1)(ix) requires
contractors to disclose and report to the
Property Administrator the need for
replacement and/or capital
rehabilitation.
(i) FAR 52.245–1(f)(1)(x) requires
contractors to perform and report to the
Property Administrator contract
property closeout.

AGENCY:
SUMMARY: Under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44

Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) a request to review and approve
an extension of a previously approved
information collection requirement

performance of functions of the FAR,
and whether it will have practical
utility; whether our estimate of the
public burden of this collection of
information is accurate, and based on
valid assumptions and methodology;
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be

minimize the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond, through the use of appropriate
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
DATES: Submit comments on or before
June 7, 2010.

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 65 / Tuesday, April 6, 2010 / Notices
Background and Brief Description
Since its establishment in 1970 by the
Occupational Safety and Health Act, the
National Institute for Occupational
Safety and Health (NIOSH) has been at
the forefront of research and innovation
on methods to help eliminate workplace
injuries, illnesses and exposures. At
Mine Safety and Health Research
laboratories in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
and Spokane, Washington, NIOSH
employs engineers and scientists with
experience and expertise in mine safety
and health issues. These laboratories
and their researchers have gained an
international reputation for innovative
solutions to many mining safety and
health problems.
Although the NIOSH Mining Program
widely disseminates and publicizes
research results, recommendations,
techniques and products that emerge
from the work of these laboratories, the
agency has limited knowledge about the
extent to which their innovations in
mine safety and health have been
implemented by individual mine
operators. This is particularly true of
methods and practices that are not
mandated by formal regulations. The
overarching goal of the proposed survey
of NIOSH Recommended Safety and
Health Practices for Coal Mines is to
gather data from working coal mines on
the adoption and implementation of
NIOSH practices to mitigate safety and
occupational hazards (e.g., explosions,
falls of ground). Survey results will
provide NIOSH with knowledge about
which recommended practices, tools
and methods have been most widely
embraced by the industry, which have
not been adopted, and why. The survey
results will provide needed insight from
the perspective of mine operators on the
practical barriers that may prevent
wider adoption of NIOSH
recommendations and practices
designed to safeguard mine workers.
In the Spring of 2007, NIOSH
conducted a pretest of the survey
questionnaire with nine underground
coal mine operators. The pretest
instrument contained 81 questions,
including five questions which
measured the respondents’ impressions
of the clarity, burden level and
relevance of the survey. The pretest
served several important functions,
including gaining feedback on the flow
of items and their relevance to the
respondents’ experience, assessing the
effectiveness of the questionnaire
instructions, and obtaining
recommendations for improving the
questions. Data captured in the pretest
were used to identify areas for
questionnaire improvement and
recommendations for maximizing the
performance of the full survey.
The proposed survey will be based
upon a probability sample of
approximately 300 of the 675
underground coal mines in the United
States. A stratified random sample of
mines will be drawn to ensure
representativeness on important
dimensions such as mine size and
region of the country. Sampling a large
proportion of the underground coal
mines will ensure low rates of sampling
error and increase confidence in the
resulting survey estimates. Oversampling some kinds of mines, such as
those operating longwall sections, will
be necessary to ensure enough cases are
available to conduct meaningful
analysis of these mine types.
Once the study is completed, NIOSH
will provide a copy of the final report
to each sampled mining operation, and
use the survey data to improve the
adoption of important safety and health
practices throughout the coal mine
industry. There is no cost to
respondents other than their time. The
total estimated annual burden hours are
142.

collection was previously published in

public comment. Two comments were
received and appropriate responses
were given. The purpose of this notice
is to allow an additional 30 days for
public comment. The National Institutes
of Health may not conduct or sponsor,
and the respondent is not required to
respond to, an information collection
that has been extended, revised or
implemented on or after October 1, 1995
unless it displays a current valid OMB
control number.
