AGENCY:
The Department of Labor, as
part of its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden,
conducts a preclearance consultation
program to provide the general public
and Federal agencies with an
opportunity to comment on proposed
and/or continuing collections of
information in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA95) [44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)]. This
program helps to ensure that requested
data can be provided in the desired
format, reporting burden (time and
financial resources) is minimized,
collection instruments are clearly
understood, and the impact of collection
requirements on respondents can be
properly assessed. Currently, the
Employment and Training
Administration is soliciting comments
concerning the collection of data about
the Workforce Information (WI) Grants
to States, OMB Control Number 1205–
0417 that expires on May 31, 2011.
A copy of the proposed information
collection request (ICR) can be obtained
by contacting the office listed below in
the addressee section of this notice.
DATES: Written comments must be
submitted to the office listed in the
addressee’s section below on or before
March 7, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background: In May 2008, the
Employment and Training
Administration (ETA) received threeyear approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
publish without change the annual
planning guidance for the Workforce
Information Grants to States under OMB
Control Number 1205–0417. This
approval will expire on May 31, 2011.
On July 16, 2010, ETA published the

year (PY) 2010 Workforce Information
Grants to States (One-Stop Workforce
Information Grant Plan and Annual
Performance Report) through Training
and Employment Guidance Letter
(TEGL) 3–10. ETA is requesting to
continue the information collection
requirements specified in TEGL 3–10
and be granted OMB approval for three
years following the current date of
expiration. This Federal Register notice
is to request public comments and
recommendations regarding the
continuation of the information
collection.
The purpose of the information
collection required by TEGL 3–10 is to
strengthen and support state and
regional use of workforce and economic
information, increase data integration,
expand the use of economic analysis,
information disseminated via the
Internet and other means to inform
workforce investment decision-making.
At the same time, ETA intends to retain
a high level of state flexibility, and
maintain the current state reporting
burden. It is ETA’s goal for the
Workforce Information Grants to States
to support increased employment and
sustainable economic growth and
recovery by supporting state and local
workforce system transformational
efforts. Therefore, ETA expects states
through their labor market information
(LMI)/WI research entities to provide:
Reliable foundational data; actionable
workforce information; and economic
research and information services to
state and local policy makers, workforce
system staff, job seekers, and external
partners. These workforce information
services will support the development
of data-driven policy, inform training
and employment program design and
investment decision-making, support
consultations with strategic partners,
and leverage limited WI program grant
resources.
The data/information collection
required from each grantee includes:
(a) Submission of an annual grant
statement of work (SOW) certification
affirming the planned accomplishment
of expected grant deliverables signed by
both the Administrator of the State
Workforce Agency (SWA) and the Chair
of the State Workforce Investment Board
(SWIB), or by the Governor.
(b) Submission of published economic
analyses, special workforce information
reports, and/or economic studies
determined to be relevant and of benefit
to the Governor and state and local
workforce investment boards (WIBs).
(c) Submission of an annual
performance report that is signed by
both the Administrator of the SWA and
Chair of the SWIB, or by the Governor.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:

The reporting and recordkeeping
provisions in 30 CFR part 50,
Notification, Investigation, Reports and
Records of Accidents, Injuries and
Illnesses, Employment and Coal
Production in Mines, are essential
elements in MSHA’s Congressional
mandate to reduce work-related injuries
and illnesses among the nation’s miners.
Section 50.10 requires mine operators
and independent contractors to
immediately notify MSHA in the event
of an accident. This immediate
notification is critical to MSHA’s timely
investigation and assessment of the
cause of the accident.
Section 50.11 requires that the mine
operator or independent contractor
investigate each accident and
occupational injury and prepare a
report. The operator or contractor may
not use MSHA Form 7000–1 as a report,
unless the mine employs fewer than 20
miners and the occurrence involves an
occupational injury not related to an
accident.
Section 50.20 requires mine operators
and independent contractors to report
each accident, injury, or illness to
MSHA on Form 7000–1 within 10
working days after an accident or injury
has occurred or an occupational illness
has been diagnosed. The use of MSHA
Form 7000–1 provides for uniform
information gathering across the mining
industry.
Section 50.30 requires mine operators
and independent contractors working
on mine property to report quarterly
employment, hours worked, and coal
production to MSHA on Form 7000–2.
MSHA tabulates and analyzes the
information from MSHA Form 7000–1,
Mine Accident, Injury, and Illness
Report, along with data from MSHA
Form 7000–2, Quarterly Mine
Employment and Coal Production
Report, to compute incidence and
severity rates for various injury types.
These rates are used to analyze trends
and to assess the degree of success of
the health and safety efforts of MSHA
and the mining industry.
Accident, injury, and illness data,
when correlated with employment and
production data, provide information
that allows MSHA to improve its safety
and health enforcement programs, focus
its education and training efforts, and
establish priorities for its technical
assistance activities in mine safety and
health. Maintaining a current database
allows MSHA to identify and direct
increased attention to those mines,
industry segments, and geographical
areas where hazardous trends are
developing. This could not be done
