Douglas Mining Company, Civ. No. 10–525–EJL, was lodged with the United States District Court for the District of Idaho. Plaintiffs the United States and the Tribe filed a complaint concurrently with the Consent Decree alleging that Defendant Douglas Mining Company is liable pursuant to Section 107(a) of CERCLA for response costs incurred and to be incurred by the United States and for natural resources damages in connection with releases of hazardous substances at or from Operable Unit 3 of the Bunker Hill Mining and Metallurgical Complex Superfund Site (Bunker Hill Site) in northern Idaho. The proposed Consent Decree grants the Defendant a covenant not to sue for response costs, as well as natural resource damages, in connection with the Bunker Hill Site. The Coeur d’Alene Tribe is a co-trustee of injured natural resources at the Bunker Hill Site and a party to the proposed Consent Decree. The settlement is based on an analysis of Defendant’s limited ability to pay and requires payments totaling $16,000. The settlement also requires assignment of interest in insurance policies to a trust, for the benefit of EPA and the natural resource trustees, and payment of two percent of net smelter returns generated from any future mining activities.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The DOL is seeking OMB authorization of information collections related to Baseline Safety and Health Practices SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00087 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Survey. The OSHA is undertaking a rulemaking effort directed toward requiring employers to establish injury and illness prevention programs (I2P2) to monitor and more effectively implement practices to mitigate workplace hazards, thereby reducing the incidence of employee injuries and illnesses. The OSHA believes widespread implementation of such programs will substantially improve overall workplace safety and health conditions. The OSHA is proposing to conduct a statistical survey of private sector establishments in non-agricultural industries. The goal of the survey is to develop industry-specific, statistically accurate estimates of current prevalence of a variety of baseline safety and health practices that may be elements of I2P2 among establishments. The OSHA also proposes to conduct case study interviews with establishments in the agriculture sector to assess the prevalence of safety and health practices among farms with more than 10 employees. Finally, the OSHA proposes to conduct case study interviews with government officials in state-plan states to assess safety and heath practices among agencies and departments operated by state and local governments. The Baseline Safety and Health Practices Survey is an information collection subject to the PRA. A Federal agency generally cannot conduct or sponsor a collection of information, and the public is generally not required to respond to an information collection, unless it is currently approved by the OMB under the PRA and displays a currently valid OMB Control Number. In addition, notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person shall generally be subject to penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information if the collection of information does not display a currently valid OMB Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL is seeking approval for this new information collection. For additional information, see the related notice published in the Federal Register on May 13, 2010 (75 FR 27001). The DOL, as part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, submits information collections for OMB consideration after conducting a preclearance consultation program to provide the public with an opportunity to comment on proposed and continuing information collection requirements in accordance with the PRA. See 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A). This program ensures that information is in the desired format, reporting burden E:\FR\FM\03NON1.SGM 03NON1
